I can't wait to die.
I used to be afraid of death, until I saw this.
Now I can't wait for the grim reaper to come.
*Edit*
I've done some more research about death.
Now I'm really looking forward to it....these are sweet!

The answer to losing money...
When you are losing money playing poker - just start playing higher limits.
Believe me.
It works for blackjack, too - you start losing, start betting higher.
This was one of the all time funnest hands to play.
Maybe I should've bet more on the river....not often you have the best possible hand on the flop, turn, and river, and get called all the way:

Feels good....
To come out on the right end of a bad beat.
I felt for the guy....and my call at the end isn't as bad as it looks (8 live outs and the pot is laying me 5 to 1.) It's a bad call....not an awful call on my part. My play preflop was just atrocious and a bit embarassing really.
Who cares? Hooray for suckouts!!!

Stellar night tonight.
Even if I don't suck out, I'd have had a good night....but with the suckout it was a great one.
Feels so good to lay a bad beat on a guy. He called me a piece of crap afterwards. That also made me feel good.

This could be fun....
Go to the website:
stripgenerator.com
Then make your own comic strip....post the link in my comments, and we'll decide whose is best.
Surely you can do better than me!
Oh Crap!
Uh Oh.
In good news. I lost $400 last night - and this morning I FOUND $300!
I had a bonus of 260 Euros show up in a seldom used - forgotten about - account.
I feel a little better about life. Found money rules!
In other news, Apple is releasing a new complimentary product for all those kids who listen to their Ipods too loud. Linky.

I am so angry right now.
I lost $350 on a 90/10 favorite.
I am so angry right now.
(Down $400 tonight - up this month - but barely).
I am so angry right now.
Tonight was one unbelievable beat after another.....I flop two pair, push all in for $50 into a $30 pot, a guy called with A 5 of spades....one spade on board....no pairs....he catches runner runner spades.
The beats were simply remarkable and plentiful....I didn't play my best to be sure, but subtract a few insane beats and I'm way up. I also donked off $100 playing blackjack after getting bad beat a number of times on a new site where I will never play again. Blackjack is Never Never NEVER a good idea.
So for the month of April I'm up $60 after a banner start to the month I feel like I need a month off!
YECH!
Seriously, calling an all in w/ A 10 offsuit. GIVE ME A BREAK! (Of course if I beat him, as I should have, I wouldn't be complaining about his brutal call right now.)
This also marks the first time that I've used foul language in the chat box at a poker table.
I keep editing this post to add more. It's theraputic.

I'm seriously considering laser eye surgery
I've been browsing for a good price on laser eye surgery.
This was BY FAR the best deal.
Browse the website...it's incredible. Think I should go for it?

Maybe this is why I'm screwed up.
This link was complete news to me! I'm actually self-taught. As I read the story, I thought back to my childhood. I thought fathers and sons were supposed to bond as the son begins to shave....does this actually happen? Have I missed out on some important developmental phase? I think it explains a lot.
Good article - click through the steps on the left. I learned a lot of tricks.

I hate April fools day.
Nobody fooled me today, but I just don't like the idea of the day....
With that being said, I read about a pretty funny prank that I am dying to try out.
Go to this website.
Enter the victim's phone number in the "My number" box.
Enter a local Pizza place / porno shop or whatever in the "My Friend's number" box.
Press call.
Hilarity ensues.
