Poker:
I won 4 straight single-table tournaments at the 20/2 level a couple of weeks ago. Talk about a crazy run. All in all, there was a stretch of 8 of 10 placed in the money. To be fair, I got some real lucky turns and rivers along the way - as well as one game in particular where I couldn't avoid getting dealt PP after PP. Sometimes the gods smile.
Music:
Songs Ive recently learned (piano):
Boston - Augustana
Brick - Ben Folds Five
A Message - Coldplay
Songs I want to learn:
Good -Better Than Ezra
Mad World - Gary Jules
Come and Go - Virginia Coalition
Songs I already know:
The Scientist
Clocks
Fix You (half)
Lightning Crashes (half)
1000 Miles
Goodwill:
I recently gave blood the other day, and they have this crazy machine that can separate your platlets from your red blood cells. THEN, it spits the platelets back into your arm! What I didn't understand is 1. Why does that count for 2 pints of blood instead of 1, and 2. Why do I need the platelets back in the first place? Wouldn't that make really runny?
Fitness:
I pulled my calf doing sprints the other day. I'm old. I can do 35 pullups in a row, but apparently can't make it through 8 sprints anymore without needing an ice pack and a rub down.
Humor:
Gaffigan, Silverman, Curb's 6th Season?
"Oh Rocco, I hope you die in your sleep tonight." (as she pets her dog in bed) - possibly the best line I heard over the past few months.
"Good Morning! You're about to call in sick." - possibly the best standup skit I've seen.
Me: Status Quo. Sickening.

Not Welcome!
I've found some great websites where I am definitely not welcome.
Tallpeople.org
It says right in the description: TALL PEOPLE ONLY. Priceless.
Compassion over Killing
It's for people who don't eat meat. It's for people who stand for animal rights and the end of animal cruelty. It's a website aimed at educating others on social issues. I am totally against all of that.

Deep Depression
So I haven't posted in a while - mostly because of one reason.
Internet poker is pretty much dead right now here in the U.S. And, quite frankly, it leaves me with the task of putting together little pieces on other topics -- and I'm struggling to find the inspiration. What is this without having good bad beat stories to vent about once in a while, or a story about a crazy tournament hand or priceless character at the table?
Personally, I'm dejected. I might have to take this in a different direction. UGH. CMON, U.S., this is a tired act. Since when is online poker morally reprehensible? How is this now illegal and fantasy football isn't? Just come up with some tax, and get it over with already. I want to play!
