i had to

sorry, this will be hard to follow. this is what happens when you share an online sportsbook account with your cousin. then you go on a cold streak. have 77 dollars left in the account. want 500 in the account before baseball season starts. and it's march madness. this conversation did not happen on aim while the stock market was open last week. looking-back thoughts in paranthessesis

g: bet the 77 (half joking)

Jrich: on marquette?

g: i dont know

g: ML syracuse and then marquette

g: parlay

Jrich: wisconsin gonna win tohugh

g: ML wiscy

g: and marquette -2

Jrich: 67 to win 250

Jrich: cuse ml and marquette -2 is 67 to win 140

g: damn, that 10 dollar loss on the warriors hurt (we bet $10 on the warriors on chris mullin bobblehead night, another L)

---ive been trying my ass off to win the lottery, and haven't won it yet. and tomorrow it's a cool 291 million. i don't know what else i can do. i really want to win

---i was talking to clara on gchat at work last week. she told me that she was flying to LA to visit some friends. and then she said something like "ugh, i'm not looking forward to the flight because i have to ask someone to put my carry-on in the overhead storage". i thought to myself, i will have to worry/think about that zero times in my life. so crazy. it's nice

---scottmizuno.com is 100% crazy. gardettos > cheez-it party mix.
read the debate if you want. http://scottmizuno.com/post/19742383212/cheez-it-party-mix-v-gardettos

i'm going to be honest, cheez-it party mix is good. but i feel gardettos is on a different level. cheez-it party mix is only slightly better than chex mix. now, i didn't say chex mix is better than cheez-it party mix. BUT, they are both on the same level, looking up at gardettos.

---the last time i was at home, we went out for my mom's bday. then came home, turned the tv on. and some lady was interviewing another lady. the one being interviewed was one of whitney houston's friends. they were both African American. My dad turns to my mom and says "i like her hair, you should do your hair like that". I looked at Derek, then my mom and started laughing. then asked my dad, "you know she's African American, right?". my dad just said "still.."

online poker, you bitch, come back

if you don't like poker, don't watch

tuesday

i'm just going to say it one last time. i'm completely over groupons. did a quick check of the big 4 (groupon, living social, google offers, amazon local), and i currently have 6 deals that i have yet to redeem. 2 have expired, and the other 4 will expire relatively soon. the last straw was when i saw a groupon for a mexican restaurant in tracy. Casa Flores. it's close to our house and my mom said it was good. so when i saw a $10 for $20 deal, i reluctantly bought it. once i told my mom about it, she said that there are always coupons for that place in the newspaper (get $10 off for $20 purchase). level 5-tilt. damnnn it. yes i'll probably let the rest expire worthless. no i don't care. yes i know i said i would never let any of them expire worthless. yes i'm all talk. yes i heard that if you email groupon and say that you want your money back, that they will give it to you. no i probably won't do it.

scramble is like chess. there's too much skill. that's why i am (and most people i think) are a little scrambled out. if you are better than someone, you will beat them 85% of the time. it's still cool, but just kind of over it at the moment. just fyi, that's exactly why poker is so much fun, perfect combination of skill and luck. i'm on to "draw something" (GMIZ). it's cool. but the 2 things i don't like. there isn't a chat window so you can talk to the person you are playing with. and more importantly, there's no competitive aspect to the game. you can't "own" somebody. When i first started playing scramble, i would fist-pump after a good round. That will never happen in draw something. i don't know how i would change it. don't have answers, only questions and complaints

loll

Facetiming with my parents is funny.

numbers don't lie

4 - the amount of alarm clock notifications that i use/need to wake up in the morning

127 million - the jackot for tomorrow's lottery. greg asked me if i wanted to join a pool, just $5 every time the jackpot is over $100 million, and the jackpot is split evenly depending on how many ppl join. i never play the lottery, i'm the most practical person ever. i love odds, and i completely understand the odds of the lotto. but i couldn't say no. how could i live with myself if i decline and then greg's pool wins? i can't take that chance. there's a 99% chance i would go insane. i'm 100% serious about that. as my mom would say, fuck it. I'm in

.545 - my guess on the knicks season winning %. $100 prop bet with rus. we had to guess the knicks season winning percentage. we each submitted our numbers, closest wins. simple. he guessed .577 i believe. should be interesting. i looked at their schedule, didn't look that easy. lots of games with philly, chicago, indiana. i like making bets with russ. i think i have edge. the same guy that bet he could name 5 players on each nba team (he failed). the same guy that bet even money that the warriors will win a championship in the next 9 years. the same guy that said "breathe through your mouth, it smells really bad in there". this particular bet is probably a wash. this nba regular season is too damn unpredictable.

8 - on a scale of 1-10 (10 being extreme monkey tilt). when i NEED a cab, and can't get one, i'm at a level 8-tilt. there's nothing more frustrating (a close 2nd is looking for my misplaced keys/wallet). but forreal, when i need a cab, and can't get one. i drop bombs. a combination of "fcuk" "are you fcuking serious?" "fcuk man" "wow" "fcuk my life dude". i swear, money isn't even an issue. when i'm at level 8, i'd happily pay 3X the normal cab fare just to get in a cab instantly. if i'm at level 8, and a cab fairy appears and says "here's a rock, all you have to do is break a car window with it, and a cab will appear in 20 seconds. if you choose to break a window, there's a 95% chance you get away with it, but 5% of the time, you get caught. you down?" i think i'm saying yes to this. 5 percent? i can dodge that. EZ
