1st real money final table everby K40Cheddar, July 13
made my first final table last night. Funny thing was, it was in limit razz. LOL. $1 buy in placed 4th for $42.12. Couldn't keep the discipline after 5 hours .
since you enjoyed my previous movie thread so much i made another one. if you missed the first one then go find it in my blog, its epic.
cutting moments
old "cult" horror flick, consists of about 6 stylised short stories in a style similar to Sin City. probably awesome for its time.
eternal sunshine of a spotless mind
a guy has a procedure to wipe his memories of his ex-lover, but starts regretting the decision during the procedure as he relives the memories. eh, i didnt like this movie one bit (everyone else ADORES it). what was so good about it? unlikeable characters, unlikeable events...shrug. got 8.5 on imdb.
seven pounds
this is about a man with authority and power who goes around "doing good" for people. it has a big twist/hidden secret and is quite sad (women would cry to it). go get it.
mr brooks
this is about a top business owner who likes to murder people as his secret lonesome hobby (a tad like dexter). this wasnt so interesting but had a nice dark smooth style so you'll easily find it enjoyable.
running scared
this is about a man who has his gun stolen by a kid and he needs to get it back before the police find it and can incriminate him for other crimes. felt a bit like a TV action movie to me (ie i wasnt impressed) but was definately above average as far as tv action movies go. watch if you like gangsta/thriller stuff.
sex is zero
cool korean movie with wacky sex comedy. great for getting drunk to if u like that kinda thing.
date night
a normal man and wife go out one night and end up in a silly dilemma with the mob. made for dumb american women but starring the guy from the office (US) and manages to be entertaining all the way through (barring some grating dialogue/arguements).
brooklyns finest
follows a handful of cops and gangstas within the same neighbourhood. started slow for me but i atually got into it and some decent suspense and events in the second half. watch if you like cops and gansta movies, obv.
the secret
documentary (ah ha) about a baseless belief that we attract things into our lives by the power of thought/brain electricity. turned it off after 15 minutes. can you say "confirmation bias"?
ikigami
japanese movie set in a world where the government forces random people to die every day, with the intention of encouraging everyone to live life to the fullest because they could be next. felt like a cross between logan's run and battle royale. okay this was fantastic, i cried like twice. you have GOT to get this movie.
the good, the bad and the weird
a "western" gunslinger movie set in korea (i think). basically one wacky guy steals a treasure map and goes on the run against two different gangs, a hitman and the japanese army. started off slow for me but became entertaining (1 guy VS the world).
hot tub time machine
utter crap. "teen" comedy which stars adults (so you think it might be decent) but hasnt a single funny moment in the entire show. really really a waste of time.
bottle rocket
owen wilsons first movie (?) about three dumb guys who rob a store then go stay in a hotel for a while to avoid the police (??). overall this was entertaining but nothing special (like Date Night). the movie cost 5mil but only made 1 mil apparently, which is a shame considering.
cashback
an unlikeable emo dweeb whines for 1hr30 but still ends up with a girl and an amazing job. what the fuck? who the fuck wrote this bullshit? okay it was some guy calld "sean ellis". I HATE SEAN ELLIS. this film is more sickeningly emo than twilight 2. the monologues are monsterous. they took a cool concept like "i can freeze time and therefore undress women without them knowing" and just shovelled tons and TONS of BULLSHIT on top of it. god i hate this movie. watch this muted because itd actually be good then (you can make up your own story and dialogue). ITS SO FUCKING BAD and yet still got 7.5/10?????????? are you fucking kidding me. twighlight new moon was the worst film ive seen in 2+ years but id rate it higher than this just out of spite.
i heart huckabees
wow. okay, its a comedy (?) about a couple of guys who employ "existentialist" thinkers to analyse and offer advice to their lives. now i just glanced at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existentialism#Concepts
and i think the movie goes over all of those concepts. im not sure. i really dont know. i will watch this again but for now give it a 9/10. go watch this!
he was a quiet man
oh man, this was good too. a weedy, bullied office worker goes into work with a gun, intending to kill his asshole workmates then shoot himself. BIG TWIST!!!! followed by...BIGGER TWIST!!!! followed by .......BIGGGGGER TWIIIIISSSSST!!!! (if you're dumb as hell like me, that is). pay attention to the weird stuff in this movie. im sure figuring it out whilst you're watching is much more gratifying than having to read about it afterwards in the imdb FAQ *sobs*
summary:
MUST WATCH
he was a quiet man
ikigami
i heart huckabees

My gmama has a cat, and the cat has fleas. So I have a flea infestation that has become pretty bitchin in my carpeted bedroom. I finally had enough of it today after 15 minutes into my session I was so distracted by itching and being bitten that I went on rage tilt and closed everything.
I declared a jihad on fleas.
My weapon is biological; Boric Acid. Boric acid is a powerful destroyer of insect life, killing fleas, roaches, and other bugs in the first 24 hours of exposure. I've dusted my carpets and the kitchen.
Problem is, even though I rarely see a roach in the house, I know that whenever pesticides are used they tend to bring the roaches out to the forefront.. where they die all over the place. Within the first two hours of dusting I've already come home to find a big dead roach in my bedroom (where I have never seen a roach before). I'm really not looking forward to cleaning up the roach Hiroshima tomorrow..
Thats right, I'm gay provided poker is not a chick.
I have an A2 poster on my wall which has about 50 $100 bills and a bunch of high stakes chips and writing 'We all measure change differently'. I play NL10. My old love, I am back <3
I know I shouldn't be complaining as much as I have been...but this is pretty nasty. I'm on a 60-70 buy in downswing after winning at 5 ptbb/100 for just about 100k hands. Now i've played somewhere near 1 million hands by now and i've always been pretty consistent and never had anything near this magnitude (buy in wise... I've had larger swings in money before)...
Obviously something has gone wrong in my game and I'm playing and running like shit. Any suggestions as to what I should do? Also, if anyone wants to swap some sweats it'd be much appreciated
Hi everyone , still riding a wave growin bigger n bigger
did a 2kE upswing in 3 days playing like 4k hands on a euro donk site.
2-3 tables of nl50 , 2 tables of nl100 and 1-2 on nl200.
pretty much every table that company has on peak times.
Total like 5,5 k in ~30days now on that site now.
running semi-good (cant say im not running good since im up like 20bis in 5k hands up) but when you are getting it 99% of the time better than vilain , expect ur AA to get sucked out 1 of 5 times, and idd it happens :>
also partying like crazy since its summer time and summertime rocks @ greece :> , speccially when you are able to spend few bi's of poker money for drinks n stuff for friends :>
it's july 2005. he's trying to figure how to break through. he's dominating weaker players and breaking even or losing to better players. it's the same pattern as before. he was missing something then and he's missing it now. the only difference between then and now is that he finally understands that he's missing something.
unbidden, his reflection attempts to inculcate a slightly different mindset in him. to be more assertive, more initiatory, more violent. to make a mockery of their feeble attempts at control. never settle. initiate and thereby actively limit their options. understand that you're better and that they will either give ground or overreact. as they give ground, pummel hard. as they overreact, laugh hard. fuck these motherfuckers. be who you are or, to be more accurate, be the person that i know you can be.
he chooses to believe and so he steps it up and goes and does likewise. much to his surprise he finds that it works. moreover, it's easy. a world of possibilities opens up to him and whereas before he may have shied away from it he now finds himself willing to embrace it. he starts to have new and brighter dreams. he can't wait to enter that world of his dreams, to be the one person he knows of in the flesh who made it real. he lusts to become whole in it, to shed the baggage of poverty, to self-actualize. to live wholly and unrepentantly in the moment, finally, after all of these years.
he finally understands what that one man was doing, why that lady cared so deeply, and why he had to leave that place at that time in his life. why he hasn't been able to let anyone in.
something happens, something violent. he is wounded. he crawls deep into a hole and he pulls it in over himself and he waits.
the months roll by as he slowly heals. eventually he can sleep again. he finds that he can move freely and without pain. he starts to play again.
something's not right. he's not feeling it. his sense is lacking and his timing is off. his attacks are anticipated, and his movements are awkward. he's hesitant.
there's a haze over him.
he starts dropping codeine and finds that it helps. he feels better and he sleeps better and he's more focused. he doesn't really know why he's taking it but he doesn't care.
stuff starts happening to him. his body fails to protect him in spots where it would have protected him before. he's dysthemic significantly more often than not; this is new. he develops carpal tunnel and ulnar neuropathy and wonders why this should be the case after all of these years of clicking a mouse a billion times a day. his vision suffers.
he doesn't care.
he drives on and more often than not he's just waiting for the moment in which he feels recognizably and mostly whole. when in that moment, he plays relentlessly. at times he even feels like the person he can remember feeling like. somehow, this is enough for him.
time passes and he sees his results slowly diminish. the interval between being whole and being noticeably diminished grows progressively larger. he wonders if he might be bipolar. he takes some pills and then some other ones, just to see if it's so. he's not.
the shoulder becomes unbearable. he waits for a year and then he has it fixed.
stuff happens. he chooses to wait it out, to wait and see what happens.
a short while later he finds that the results of his most recent play can most aptly be characterised as inconceivable. he's gone through five years of progressively diminished results, so he should be numb to this sort of thing but this shocks him. this should be impossible for him. he is who he is, right?
he processes for awhile and finds that he was missing something then and that he's missing it now. he looks within himself and finds that the answer is pain. that he never really came out of that hole that he had pulled in over himself.
sometimes it is acute and the rest of the time it burns. it always tingles. there are spasms. it itches. the sensory experience of joint dysfunction has been magnified. minor nerve irritation now returns something subjectively equivalent to a herniated disk.
he reflects further on the past few months and remembers waking up and seeing the bags under his eyes, day after day. he remembers being, at times, unable to recognize the man in the mirror. he's lost weight.
he's disabled.
the person that he was would not have stood back and watched his social ties wither and die, or seen his days grow longer and darker without recourse, or walked around for a year with no rotator cuff.
he would have initiated, attacked. he would have tried to force it, whatever it was, to bend to his will and he would have found it immovable. he would then have processed. instead this unreconizable disabled person dropped codeine and shrugged it off for five years.
casper, the god. he shines bright like a diamond. he's harsh, but he's sensitive. he feels deeply, and he cares. and he's dead.
i carry the memory of the worst day of my life with a smile and i choose to believe that i will be able to take back my life an inch at a time. i know of no person in the flesh who has managed to do such a thing, and so i aspire to be the first to do so and i hope that, in time, newer and even brighter dreams will light my sleep.
I had a smartphone crisis a couple of weeks back, buying a used iphone 3gs thinking I could unlock it only to find out I couldnt. I waited and waited for an unlock to come out but finally had enough, especially after trying to rely on the thing while on vacation for maps and shit. Nothing feels more ghetto than walking a city block to find a free fucking wifi signal just so I can get shit done.
Well I had defended apple and the iphone up until recently, when I finally pulled the trigger and just bought another damn smartphone, this time the HTC HD2, which is the EVO 4G but for tmobile. This thing is one sexy bitch
I had given it a quick go through at the tmobile store once before and they had all the settings and options and icons so fucked up I thought the device itself was shit. I read more about it, and went to another store to try it, with most of the settings at default so I could see how it *really* was and immediately fell in love with it. And after using it for a week now I punch myself in the balls daily for ever using that iPhone "hipster" piece of shit, as baal likes to call it. I was already feeling the pains of apple domination without being able to install shit for apps, but now that I've had a totally different smartphone experience I have seen the light, and will forever feel sorry for anyone who uses one thinking they are the shit. It's just like every moment I remember holding the damn thing I now feel like a douche, and shiver at the mere thought of how others saw me. Fuck apple and anyone who uses them.
