that's what this song is bangin'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rTufRpbdZg
so if your looking for a song that ain't bangin and that sucks, don't copy and paste this link, cuz you will be dissapointed.
The last sunday before I played in the battle of planets triplke shootout. Shootout tourny's you have to win your table and then you move on and play other people who won their tables. So there is no continous rotation. It is a multi-table tourny, but new players are not added onto the tables to replace someone who bust out. Instead, the table is played out until there is one winner.
Well, I won my first table. For this I recieved about $200. The next tabkle (which is all players who won their previous tables) i got heads up, but ended up coming second . :(
I had a three to one chip lead, but blew it on a bluff and then a slow play on my part with KK. The first hand that did me in, (he showed his cards so I can be sure of what happened) He raised in the SB with 62 offsuit. I called with Q9 offsuit. Flop came Kd, 2s, Ac. I bet out the pot and he re-raised me all in. It was a good play, but I was suprised that he didn't fold. So then I busted by completing the SB with KK. That means I just called and slowplayed the KK. He bet out and I pusdhed pre flop. He called and hit a straight on the river and bam it was over. If I had beat this guy the least I could have won was $900 and first place was $12,000. Oh well. I'm still grinding the $20 sngs and am at $2500 as of this blog entry.

the old lady
In regards to the sleep paralysis I never really researched it until it happened six months ago and I only read up on it on wikipedia since it happens so rarely. So I decided to youtube it and it's a little weird other people mention the old lady as well in a ghostly vision. So here is the link.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPMUz8RAjks&feature=related
I suggest if anyone has this experience with the old maid - don't look at her. Just close your eyes and she will go away. On saturday I saw the flower apron,very old and torn and I did not care to look up at the face. Just closed my eyes.
weird, it didn't scare me, just got the sense of a very negative energy and a malicious presence.
If I saw a face or she rushed at me I might have been a little freaked out. But luckily I wasn't fully aware.
I'm gonna have to watch all 5 parts now.

Why have I decided to Isolate from the world? I have chosen to live a lonely life. Really, i am a
loser by choice. For a while now I have made excuses to not hang out with people when they
have asked if i want to go here or there. You know, people who I have been in contact with
recently I have been pleasant and amiable with them, but kep them at arm's length. Just the
other day i was at my group (this is a dual diagnosis group I go to) and a good looking woman asked if i would like to go for coffee. I said i was a little to busy of late. I laughed a little to myself after that one. And a couple people from work asked if I would like to go out for drinks,
i declined and mumbled something about my mother I think.
But yeah, it seems like wherever I go and the new people I meet, they seem to like me, after all I am an amiable fellow and treat people with respect, but I just prefer to spen my down time alone.There are of course many people I hold in contempt. Those who do not understand sarcasm or if I am putting on a persona (this happens often if I choose to participate in online forum, but even in real life. See the persona I put on is actually me mocking the uglier
side, the underbelly of the human spectrum. I don't know how people go through life without a sense of humor. And if you can't wrap your mind around a multi-layered critique of humanity then I shall avoid you like the plague. So except for the snus forum (i have
been off cigarettes for about 4 or 5 months.
Still snusing. I post on the snus forum where I am well liked every now and then, but havegiven up posting on other internet forums. There really is a whole lot of negative enrgy and cynism when people get on their computers.Got a week ahead of me and I must put in more hours playing poker. This is the thing that may keep me from ever going pro, putting in the hours. Having the discipline to put in the hours. And poker is hard work. I have given the impression through my entries that this is easy money. From $2 to $50 to $500 and now over $2000. During this process I had a 40 buyin downswing and a month long break even strecth that began to eat away at my soul. I was able to recover though as I knew I would. I do not get emotionally involved in the game. I really don't to high when I lose or to down when I win. OOps, vice versa .. I have
learned the art of detaching. While a losing streak or break even stretch may leave me somewhat frustrated it is nothing really. yo mam...
But yeah, i gotta play more.This weekend I just watched some of the ncaa tournament games, slept, and drank. Pretty boring life actually that's why this blog might not work out. Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I could have gone to dinner with my brother who I rarely see on saturday night, but I declined of course.
Sometimes I get sleep paralysis. THis happens once or month or so and it happened to me after a nap on saturday. I am always in a half-awake state and rarely I will see things. This is not a psychiatric problem, but some people do hallucinate during sleep paralysis and this time I saw this old woman in a flower apron by the bed. Just got this decaying kind of negative feeling from her. this will happen twice or so a year. This presence and visual hallucination. It's always a sapping experience and the last time it was six months ago. Again after a nap in a half awake state I fell asleep on the couch and awoke to a women in the kitchen in a very tattered , threadbare dress that seemed was buried in the earth for 200 years. I always see kind of a faint image, and feel it would become clearer if I don't close my eyes tight as the image materializes. Kind of weird, but it is no episode or anything, just a byproduct of sleep paralysis. Some people in different cultures believe this a visit from an evil spirit draining my energy. Who knows maybe it is. I don't really care all that much either way as long as they don't do it too often.
Whatchya gone and do?
that's about all for now.
I hope you enjoyed chopin! (the link above)

the beehive
Here's the song of the month
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-ITv4OBV9c
book of the month I'll start doing too.
confederacy of dunces-john kennedy toole (funniest book I have ever read)
I wrote up a long entry but it didn't make any sense so I deleted it. I was having a bad day and it was really depressing too. I have recently turned 30 and that was getting me down. I have moved up to the $20 sngs as my bankroll has passed $2000. I always wait for 100 buy ins. Had a really good few weeks at the tables and got $150 for finishing 5th in the weekly sng leaderboard and also b/c of that got an entry into a monthly shootout.
I said in an earlier entry i would give poker advice and here is some non-specific advice. Play friday and saturday nights if you have nothing else going on.. If you play between 10pm-2am est. time you will find a lot of drunk recreational players spewing chips. I also said I hadn't noticed a dip in my ROI 8-tabling, but that was a stupid thing to say as I for funhad a smaple size of like 50 games. It takes 500 or so games to get a true ROI. Most knowledgable sng players say it takes more than that, but 500 is enough imo. Also, please don't play drunk yourself. 2 or 3 drinks is fine, in fact tight players may notice some improvement in their game after a couple drinks, but don't play drunk. I have been guilty of this and have on more than one occasion puked while playing which is no fun at all. Passed out a few times too and awoke in my chair with the site still on and forfettied money.
Trying to figure what exactly I am going to do with this blog. I might sports bets picks. I do pretty well betting on sports and I figure it would be a nice thing to do for my readers- as a reward for reading my blog. Now, I only bet for fun, just play money because betting on sports online is illegal. I certainly don't encourage you to bet real money.
While we are on sports, my basketball team, the Boston Celtics are the best team in the NBA. They have taken a small dip in the overall standings and have the third best record in the NBA, but they are the best team. They took this dive b/c they haven't had Garnett and their point guard Rondo. Rondo is a hugely underated player imo. He has such court awareness and quick hands. He is the best point guard in the NBA. He can rebound too. So i am not worried about the celtics.
Still working at my unglamorous job mopping floors and such and actually don't feel so bad about it with the economy and all. They interviewed 5 people for the job and picked me so that's a confidence booster. Who knows how many resumes they got. My worst job was as i sadi picking trash. To be more specific this was a recycling facility up in Vermont. All the recyclbels picked up by thge trucks got dumped here. The glass went in one area, but everything else had to be manually sorted and thrown into their appropraite places. It was all just dumped on conveyor belts and I and other people frantically picked and sorted in a line. Wow did that job suck and I was only paid $7.25/hour. So this new job I have is a step up from that I guess.
My cat runs with mice is doing great. I think she's happy to be here and not in the streets or in a cage. For a society to function properly we need it just. That's what I was getting at in my previous post. Unless some kid in the inner city is really book smart and scores well on sAT and super motivated they have no chance in a shitty school. There are plenty of kids who are not as bright going to better colleges, b/c as I said a C is like an A at a good high school. That's how colleges look at it. So when you pay your taxes and or complain about "free handouts" keep that in mind. Then of course there is the cost of college which is another unjust thing. See I realize this b/c I don't have a college degree. A college degree gets your foot in the door for high paying jobs for the most part. So then they are criticed and unfairly prosecuted for selling some pot to make ends meat. No wonder there is so much anger in some of these kids. They are living in one of the wealthiest countries in human history, but they are left out and shat upon.
This isn't just a white black things it's a rich poor thing. Basically, we need to give equal oppurtunity, but there is no easy way to fix this. The wealthy paying more of a percentage in taxes is one way and you shouldn't bitch about it. I remember when Obama was running in the general election and I heard these republican talking heads ranting about Obama that liberal wants to raise taxes on your hard earned money! Well, that's n ot true. It was only for people making over 200grand or something. There are some real shameless people out there and they tend to appear on TV a lot and are attracted to politics. Then these same people want to tell my I can't play online poker. When it is a signifacnt portion of my income? But you can bet on lotteries on line. And the ponies (a rich mans gambling habits). Gfet the fuck out of here.
I just want to thank everyone for reading my blog. Feel free to comment. I had a bad week last week and depression was creeping in. Here's one thing I do when I'm feeling depressed. I put on Chopin (a piano composer) or some other elaborate form of music and I dim the lights and lay in bed. The peaks and flow of the music are like life. The good times and the bad. For people with menatl illness these are magnified. And I just lsiten to the msuic and when the tempo slows and the notes are lower i say OK, that is where I am right now. And then I say it will pass and the msuci will become faster with higher tones, and there will be happier days. The msuic is calming and too and it is intricate and complex like life. Thats one thing that helps me.
That magnification of feelings thats the thing I've noticed with many people with mental illness. When people talk about the dulling effect of some psych meds and how that is a downside. Well, some people need this. The alternative is owrse. Basically, what I'm saying is if you haven't suffered from a mental illness or educated in the matter, don't be so quick to judge. Walk a mile in someon's shoes. It's an old idiom, but as all old idiom's it needs to be pounded into people's heads. Timeless wisdom.

halfagoodday
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoNXsne8exg
gotta love T-squared...
So I ended up getting a cat. I was planning on getting two cats, but decided on just one. She is a 1 year old stray with a lot of energy and good looks. Unfortunately she took a liking to my goldfish Jesta as I was worreied about. Jesta was on top of a bookcase in my bedroom and what do you know my new cat had jumped up and stuck her paw and face in the bowl.. I really hap only one option after this but to put the fish on top of the refigerator and on top of a bunch of books. So now my goldfish is near the ceiling in my kitchen.
I named my cat "runs with mice" it is a native american name and it fit perfectly since she was a stray cat and living by her own devices, the native way. She was very skinny when I got her and apparently was not a very good hunter. She has a ton of energy and tends to expend the excess energy at night. She basically just sprints around the apartment at night and knocks shit over and pounces on her jingly toys. She was waking me up at like 3 or 5 in then morning with her toys so I have decided to hide them at night and I am trying to keep her up during the day so that she is no longer nocturanal/
runs with mice is a great cat though and she is the best.
Lets see what else..
I have been working 10 hours per week just cleaning shit up. I have worked many a job and most have been menial labor intensive stuff. I had two what some people may call real jobs. These were years ago. These jobs were in the coperate sector, but I could not stand them! I absolutly hated working in an office and have been much happier in more hands on work. i have been an assistand property manger, new accounts clerk at a brokerage, garbage picker, construction laborer, I worked at a soap factory that made soap for prsions... I have done all sorts of shit. I don't have a bachelors degree and so my choices are limited. But I am happy with what I am doing right now.
The poker has been going very well. I am now up to $1500. Remember that I started with $2. I think that it is within the realm of possibilities that I could make a living playing online poker, but as I have sadi before this is an at best shaky proposition and would much rather have this as second income. And with the kind of low-paying, menial work I do this is very much needed. I have started 8-tabling the sngs and think I can make about $4/per table playing the $50 sngs. I was at this level before and it was after a heater. I became very high on myself and started playing every hand and bluffing and making very margianl calls. This is a strategy that is doomed to fail while playing sngs. And I dropped right on down to the $30's fairly quickly. So next time I take the shot at the $50's I will not play with a 'donk High"
I've been going to a gym for a few months now and play in weekly 3 on 3 half court game. When we shot for teams and possesion it was clear that I was the most talented player on the court. We have stuck with the original teams as it is usually a good matchup and the score is close. There is a 350 pound black guy on my team who I was a little worried about originally. I do not mean to sound racist, but african-americans have a higher risk of carivascular disease than the mean population. So it was for this reason that after the teams were chosen and before the first game started I asked if anyone knew CPR.
Unfortunatly the guy took offense and an argument took place. He was righ up in my face saying dont you disrespect me goldy-locks and so on. I have longish hair and it falls down a little) But we have a cemented our diffrences and we are now a friends and teammates. It's funny cuz at first I thought with me being the best palyer why don't he jsut set screens for me, but he is also a very good outside shooter and we are quite the team.
I have some good ideas for my next blog entry- about an injustice system we have. I mean it's like luck of the gene pool if you think about it. What school you go to and such. The inner city has the worst schools and colleges take note of thgis. So no matter how smart you are as a young kid you are not given the consideration of top colleges. The schools in the inner city are shabby and disorganized. I went to a a public high school where a D was equivalent to an A from an inner city school.. This really is how it works. And we wonder why some of these kids trun to selling drugs. Well they got shafted from the get go is why. The suburban wealthy kids make money in a legal way, b/c they are given that oppurtunity. The kid who was raised in the inner city is given no such option. It really isn't fair at all if you think about it. Cuz the rich kids they would do the same thing. If you don't give e veryone an equal oppurtunity than stay the fuk out of their business and how they decide to make teir money is what I say.,
Anyway im up to $1500 on poker and jsut started 8 tabling. I have not noticed any dip in my roi.

We have stuck with the original teams as it is usually a good matchup and the score is close. There is a 350 pound black guy on my team who I was a little worried about originally. I do not mean to sound racist, but african-americans have a higher risk of carivascular disease than the mean population. So it was for this reason that after the teams were chosen and before the first game started I asked if anyone knew CPR.
Unfortunatly the guy took offense and an argument took place. He was righ up in my face saying dont you disrespect me goldy-locks and so on. I have longish hair and it falls down a little) But we have a cemented our diffrences and we are now a friends and teammates. It's funny cuz at first I thought with me being the best palyer why don't he jsut set screens for me, but he is also a very good outside shooter and we are quite the team.
I have some good ideas for my next blog entry- about an injustice system we have. I mean it's like luck of the gene pool if you think about it. What school you go to and such. The inner city has the worst schools and colleges take note of thgis. So no matter how smart you are as a young kid you are not given the consideration of top colleges. The schools in the inner city are shabby and disorganized. I went to a a public high school where a D was equivalent to an A from an inner city school.. This really is how it works. And we wonder why some of these kids trun to selling drugs. Well they got shafted from the get go is why. The suburban wealthy kids make money in a legal way, b/c they are given that oppurtunity. The kid who was raised in the inner city is given no such option. It really isn't fair at all if you think about it. Cuz the rich kids they would do the same thing. If you don't give e veryone an equal oppurtunity than stay the fuk out of their business and how they decide to make teir money is what I say.,
Anyway im up to $1500 on poker and jsut started 8 tabling. I have not noticed any dip in my roi.

X-mass came and passed.
Highlight of the holiday was playing guitar hero. Never played it before.
My cousin and brother were on the guitars and I decided I would sing.
We settled on Eye of the tiger. The first two times I couldn't keep up with the lyrics,
but the third time I banged out real good. Maybe I'll start a band, be a rockstar, my
mom said I sounded good after the song.
Up to $1,050 at poker. Will start working next week at a part-time job I landed.

Icey Sunday

Life, it's what happens when you wake up and every week
is a snowman. It's been six months now since I have been back to my apartment.
Before that I was away 9 months at psych rehab, a halfway house although in
my case it was just a safe house. This is how I have used halfway houses in the past. Just to live
there temporarily until I get my mind back.
A lot of people use halfway houses as such, not everyone is there forever. And before that
I was in a ward for a month. So I was away for a year. No poker was played in this time
obviously. In my previous post I called myself a grinder and I was before my recent
meltdown, but I'm not a grinder anymore. Being lucky to put in 15 hours in per week it's
become a hobby. The goal is to put in at least 20 hours per week from now on. would much
rather just sit back with a 40 and watch the Celtics though (who are the sickest this year)
I have obligations 15 hours a week and there is less time since my semi-pro days. Free time
has a negative connotation, but to me free time means having more of life than someone who
works 40 hours a week. Having friends can be a qualification to having a life as well. Just a
by-product of our society. A lot of people choose to be alone. Just because you have a bunch of
friends and that doesn't mean you have to throw it into people's faces. How ridiculous and
juvenile. And people have to stop beeping their horns so much. There is so much impatience
out there its insane. Seriously if someone takes an extra second to start up on a greenlight,there
is no need to beep your horn. That's my communication to the outside world for now.
I quit smoking. It has been 5 weeks and two days now. Been smoking 10 years. I am however
snussing. Don't know what it is? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05q6Cr5LRig
Might be getting a couple kittens form the shelter too. Haven't figured out where to put the fish
though so that the kittens won't eat her. My goldfish's name is "jesta" And yes I talk to her.
Gonna go now and watch some football. Patriots are on at 4, but I usually watch the other
games too. Or maybe I'll go piss off a bunch of people on an Internet forum. Maybe both.
Finally, In order to get some of these corrupt regressive elements out of our
government one of the things that will help is breaking up the monopoly the democrats and
republicans hold on our government. There are other options out there, different ideas and
opposing viewpoints. The public should be made more aware of them.

I've voted third party before and was well aware of the candidates this past election, but still
voted Obama. Libertarianism, untethered capitalism, would be a disaster at this point in our
countries state affairs. Never been a fan of libertarianism.
