It’s enough… enough…

Classes are back on baby… oh how much joyous fun this semester will be. Couldn’t get FWS because I forgot to submit my ballot over break, and the only one I can add/drop is a required class for English majors… Ugggh…

Linear Algebra
Climate Study/Global Warming
Physics of Electricity and Magnetism
Sociology of Power
Microeconomics

Kinda, sorta, maybe wanted to take a philopshy course about religion, and how religion is vital in everyday life. (Religion is the BASIS for your moral decisions, whether you are devoutly Catholic, Hindu, Islamic, or atheist; another rant for another time)

I really don’t want to take Sociology of Power, so I’m gonna go back to add/drop and see what I can do.

Play. Fast forward. Pause. Pause. Pause. Eject.

I need to play some real poker.

Apparently on Poker Room, I can get dealt the worst hands while people can get dealt AA twice in a span of 4 hands, 7-10 and 4-2 take down massive pots, and suited cards are God.

I won zero out of 50 hands today. Got playable hands twice. KK and AK suited.

I moved all in with KK vs. QQ and A-8. The flop hits K-5-4. So I’m winning with trip kings. BUT Poker Room can’t allow that so the next two cards are 3-2. A-8 wins.

AK suited, I say “fuck this” and move all in preflop. Called by 6-5 off. 6-5 hits two pair. It wins.

The only explaination that’s valid. Is that you have to be a shitty, mid pair or draw chasing, bad hand playing, tilt, lucky ass sonofabitch to win on Joker Room.

Guess why I haven’t posted in a while? Well, yes I am lazy, but the more amusing reason…

Soda (near laptop) + phone call + dog = another malfunctioning keyboard.

OK, so it wasn’t as bad as Key-day I, but I still can’t use the tab, caps lock, and 2 key among a couple others. So the laptop was in pieces for a couple days as I tried to fix it (yeah, nuts to having someone else do that). I finally just ordered a new keyboard I have to install next week before I return to Cornell. So I’m on a USB one right now.

Good for me.

Oh yes, bought an X-Factor Reloaded– this will have significance when I use it.

So I’ve solved the problem to the excessive amounts of flushes drawn on Poker Room…

… but they are SUITED!

Pain -> lack of sleep -> Sportscenter -> still lack of sleep -> more Vicodin -> dizzy -> finally sleep -> forced awake -> Jesus -> eggs -> sleep -> Boston -> sleep -> Green Day -> sleep -> AC/DC -> the motions -> ping pong -> phone calls -> Tropicana Fruit Punch -> sleep -> SNAP -> sleep -> conscious? -> sleep -> football -> jealously -> shower -> Onion -> DVDs -> Roswell -> Ibuprofin -> Faithful -> Tiki -> sleep? -> cake

Am I losing my mind?

(Today’s pseudonym for me is - Napoleon) (Pssst… a pseudonym is my FALSE name because I don’t want Google catching on…) (Psst, again… to make sense of this post, insert MY name wherever you see Napoleon) (Eh, your smart, figure it out for yourself…)

I’ll take “Common bonds” for $1,000 Alex.

The answer for $1,000 is: Napoleon’s teeth, elbow, back, and ass.

(DING) What is “Why Napoleon is so hot?”

I’m sorry that is incorrect.

(DING) What is “body parts that Napoleon is feeling significant degrees of pain in presently?”

Correct. You have control of the board.

I’ll take “Drugs” for $800, Alex.

The answer is, “How many pills of Vicodin did Napoleon take this evening?”

(DING) What is 2?

Incorrect. Anyone else?

(DING) What is “probably too much?”

Judges— Yes, we’ll accept that. OK, you have control of the board.

I’ll take “What’s Going on Inside Napoleon’s Mind” for $400.

(WHOOOOOP) … and that’s our daily double.
