Well I saw K40Cheddar blogging about last day of school so I thought I might as well too. However, I have two days left and two psychology finals.
Plans:
-Play more poker
-Play more starcraft
-Play less xbox
-Dorm food does suck but I'm here for another
year so I need to get used to it.
-Stop doing essays 10 hours before they are due
(for summer classes).
-Spend lots of money on the new mountain dew
(theres 3 new flavors and they only pick one).
-and maybe work out because I'm really skinny
(but I hate working out)
-Buy a nice aquarium for my turtle so he can
stay in the dorm with me and we can chill.
(noone chills harder than a turtle).
last day of school and summer plansby K40Cheddar, May 11
Last day of school. Got one statistics final left at 7:00 tonight and then I'm out of this place tomorrow. Looking forward to the summer.
Plans:
Chill in Hawaii at the end of June
Actually try to get my bankroll up instead of donking it away
More clear focus on poker since there is no more school distraction
Get a gym membership and actually work out
Play in a pro-shot bowling league with some friends
Study for actuarial exam P - Probability
Play Xbox without a shitty ass internet connection
Teach some younger kids chess for some spare cash
Play in the Chicago Open chess tourney May 28-31
Go on a hike/exploring in a forest preserve
Eat some good food because dorm food blows
Play some home game SNGs with friends
Eh, thats all I can think of right now. Can't wait!
So the support guy from Unibet called me and wanted me to do some stuff having to do with the registration for the next Unibet Open, and then we chat a little bit about random stuff as my room mate's sex life, how clean my kitchen may or may not be and such and then he commented that "You sure had some swings last month!". I found that pretty funny. The good part is that I'm much less inclined to let swings affect my mood anymore.
Thank God for other things in life I can find happiness and meaning in
Also, SC2 won't be the coolest thing ever. Except like, you know, Scarlett Johansson's boobies and other things probably constructed by a demon of some kind to bring people from their righteous path or whatever.

WTF? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN U DC WHILE AI? by Mikae, May 11
This is really weird - so my net is breaking up and fucking up in general but i kept playing - 2 things happened -
One REALLY laggy hand, on the river, i raise, then it LAGS like crazy - but i think he folds. HEM shows he folds. HH shows he folds. HEM shows i lost the pot.
Another hand, i jammed PF with AK, d/c - come back, table doesn't come back up because i think i closed it or something. What happens there?
I'm down like 20 bucks on my cashier. Now with the AK hand, if that hand plays out, and i lose but win my QJ hand, then the maths adds up. BUT IF I LOST THE QJ HAND AND MY MONEY MAGICALLY GOES INTO A FTP D/C SLUSH FUND but i couldn't jam my AK cause of the lag....SOMEHTING IS WRONG OMG SO TILTED FUCING FTP
Just moved to party and I'm really liking the software and fish. I have heard that party like to fuck people over when they cash out can anyone confirm this?
I've just seen blog entry by EvilSky and saw that there is a lot of ppl trying to quit smoking. Well, there is an alternative and I'm not surprised many of you haven't even heard of it and governments are trying to ban it already as well as there is nothing on tv about it. There is a reason for it I suppose.
Electronic cigarette - WTF is that you might think.
Well, check out this video:
Quick intro: It simulates the functions of a cigarette without the harmful chemicals by substituting tobacco for cigarette with liquid flavoured nicotine which vapourises into steam (simulates smoke). It's just brilliant. no odours, dicoloured teeth etc. You can use it anywhere
because there is no smoke. It doesn't stink.
So almost a week ago I decided to become a non smoker, and today not only I am, but I also feel good about it. I had a hard time at first because I was going about it the wrong way, but yesterday I decided to download The easy way to stop smoking by Allen Carr, Im not sure why since Im always skeptical of "easy way" to anything but this audio book changed my whole perspective and helped clear my head.
If you want to quit smoking or even if you dont I recommend checking out this book, its quite a simple concept that somehow is lost on most of us.
ffs I managed to make this sound like a commercial for this fucking book, but get it anyways(get it illegally I wont tell)
A story about last monday. by DustySwedeDude, May 10
Hilarity is a great thing. Sometimes it is manufactured by John Cleese, in which case it might be lethal (according to wikipedia some Danish guy died laughing while watching A Fish Called Wanda) or just happen on High Stakes Poker when Raszi gets hold of 92s. Most of the time it's something they show on TV, or when your drunk friend tries to pick up some guy who looks a bit like a girl. However, sometimes you just happen to get into a situation that's bad, handle it worse and also get unlucky at the same time. Shit happens, basically, and sometimes it's probably really funny from an objective point of view. This episode happened a week ago and at first I figured I should keep it quiet, but in the spirit of "bjuda på sig själv" as we say in Sweden (wtf is the English expression? Basically giving up some ego to let everyone have a better time at your expense) I've decided that I should tell this story here on my blog. I'm fairly sure that not THAT many people I know irl reads this, and those who do are mostly close friends and such so I feel ok telling this.
Last Monday I played the Sunday donkament on prima, stayed up for some cash games and decided that sleep is for lazy people and that it's probably a good idea to go for a morning roll. Said and done I grab my gi and take a walk to the gym while drinking some red bull to keep awake. I do feel that my stomach is trying to tell me something about my sleeping schedule and food intake and that whatever it's trying to say probably contains a whole bunch of foul words. However, my body and I have a very simple relationship which basically is grounded in a lot of bitching from my body which I ignore or just answers with random phrases about how it'll probably be fine if I just get some duck tape, some water and/or some caffeine. I feel that I've probably spent to much of my life bitching about unimportant stuff so now I try to ignore that kind of crap. Anyway, I get to the gym a bit early, I sit around watching the morning break and generally feeling very philosophical and such thinking about how life is good, BJJ is sick fun and how the S mount is the most awesome thing since sliced bread.
Since Roberto "Cyborg" Abreu was in Sweden a couple of weeks before doing a seminar which a bunch of the guys was at the technique training for this session was about the Tornado Sweep.
check it out at about 2.40 or so.
I'd like to bring up a few important points for the rest of the story:
1. I'm not very good at BJJ. There's no way I'm getting a decent Tornado Sweep against anyone except if I get like 20 seconds to set it up. And then there's like a 50/50 chance it'll suck something horrid anyway, and maybe 5 % chance that it'll actually be a somewhat correct sweep. Also, a week ago before I had actually practice that sweep a couple of times I was even worse.
2. While trying to do that sweep you'll spend a decent amount of time with your ass in your partners face.
Anyway, I start out trying to do the sweep with a big blue belt. He seemed to be having some troubles with it too which is understandable since, well, he's a big ass guy and it's hard to bend like you need to do. I'm also doing my best which is basically getting up on my neck then looking like a retard while trying to to figure out which leg to throw in what direction. Overall we probably looked a bit silly and after a while the instructor (probably ~100kg or so black belt) decides that we should probably switch partner. The blue bet goes with the instructor and I say hi to some ~60 kg girl. If this change was since I couldn't throw a guy a couple of kilos heavier then me or had something to do with the fact that it'd be easier for the girl to do the technique with me (90kg or so) rather then the even bigger dude I don't know, but judging from the fact that she threw me around like nothing I'm fairly sure which one of those alternatives was true.
Anyway, you guys are smart, you already know what happens. I start to get the hang of it and it's a lot easier to manage to move 60 kg then whatever the big dude could've been and I generally starting to feel good about myself. The girl was one of those super positive nice people you encounter sometimes to which helped a bit. So finally I decide that I this time, yea, this time I'll do an awesome sweep and then I'll grab the biggest damn dude in the room and try it on him when we roll afterwards. That was the plan. We start from half guard, I get my grips, I spin around, everything is great and then... I fart in her face. Not a big one, mind you, and not one of those smelly (I hope!) but one with some sound attached to it. Not a lot, but definitely something someone with her face 25 cm from my ass would notice. I say "sorry", continue the sweep and manage to fuck every part of it up . Then we practice for a while in silence until it's time for 5 minutes sparring rounds. As usual I get my ass beaten (I'm the only beginner who goes to morning class with any regularity, lazy fucks!), which is fine with me since I learn a ton from it, and walk home in the morning air. Contemplating how Murphy was right, the world's a bitch and sometimes random variance just fucks you over.
But then I remember, after all, life is good and when something like this is your biggest concern for the day, well, your life can't be that bad.
