Don't mess with me

My new monitor is sitting on my desk, only a few inches away, staring at me in complete horror. I can only imagine that my monitor is thinking, "Holy shit.. what have I gotten myself into". You might be thinking that as well, if you were a piece of electrical equipment and had seen what I did this morning. My monitor had to watch as I poured (read spilled) a nearly full cup of hot steaming coffee all over my helpless keyboard. The keyboard was soo close that I'm sure the monitor could hear it's screams, "Arrrrrgghhh cooooffeeeeeee!!" And then silence. What kind of a monster would do that to a perfectly good ergo keyboard?? I would. I've done it before and I'm pretty sure I'll do it again. So watch out Mr. Monitor. Don't ever give me a reason, caus if you piss me off I've got about 4 or 5 cups of half finished coffee and water all over my desk; we wouldn't want any accidents to happen.

A silver tear appearing now, I'm cryin' ain't I

Got a new monitor at work today. I've moved up in the world from 17 to 21". Well.. it's not much but hey.. it's something. Another day... another day.

The Great North

Went to Canada for a wedding this weekend.

First, big shout outs to my friend Adam and his new wife Sarah!

Second, Canada is freakin' far away! For some reason I thought it was gonna be a 5-6 hour drive. I don't know how I came up with these numbers, but looking at a map was not at all part of the process. In actuality it was 8 or 9 hours. It wouldn't have stopped me from going, but I might've left a little earlier had I known.

Finally, as I approached Canada I tried to add "eh" onto the end of nearly all my sentences. When we went to Denny's for breakfast and our waitress was also saying "eh" I thought it was super funny. In fact, that one gets me every time. Just say "eh" at the end of your sentence, like a Canadian, and I'll think you're funny, eh.

Poker Eh?

Everyone loves a good poker story.

I was playing .25-.50 Hold'em at Ultimate Bet the other night. A new guy joins the table and starts consistantly raising before the flop. I noticed that he would raise with very mediocre hands and sometimes drop them after the flop. Now even though it's a very low limit game not too many people recklessly raise pre flop like this.

I'm on the button and new guy raises pre flop. Folds all around to me, and I call with AJ. Flop comes K-J-rag. He starts betting and I start calling. I'm a little nervous about the K, but I really wanted to win this hand so I stayed with the Jacks. A Queen comes on the river and I call one more bet. Sure enough.. new guy wins with AQ. Next hand new guy bets the whole way (against someone else) and wins the hand on the river when he finishes his flush.

A few hands later, I play a KJ and the flop comes AQT rainbow! I have the nut straight and no flush draw to worry about! Someone bets, I raise, and new guy reraises! Everyone else folds and we start capping the betting. We cap the betting on every single round, so I think maybe he has KJ as well. Nope. I think he just had two pair. What a dumb ass.
