There is a new poker bill circulating in the United States Congress that would legalize and regulate online poker in the US. YAY! good news, more fish! more money! WOOOOOO! This is what poker players have been waiting for since 2006 (when the UIGEA was passed and sites like PartyPoker left the US player pool)
However, if the bill passes, there would be a 15-month blackout where no online poker would be legal within the United States. UH OH. Noooooo! This means no Full Tilt Poker and no PokerStars for 15 months!!!! fifteen months!?!
I'm pretty sure anyone who reads my blog could not care less, buuuuuut, if you're curious, here is a longer explanation.

I guess a blackout would not cut off my poker playing completely, i could still play on bodog and cereus. However, the ratio of winning players to every losing player would make it more difficult to make the MONIEZ.

one big sweat
The Buried Life on MTV has inspired me.
Before I die, i want to attend a professional sporting event and bet $1k on the outcome. If I win, donate $500, and spend the rest on something absolutely ridiculous.

48 degreees
Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers - Lebron James - Will Lebron James have a physical altercation with a fan? +2500
*Bodog's decision is final. Must get fined by NBA for incident for Yes to be graded as winner.
^^I'm kind of excited for this game
Watching Jeremy Lin miss 3 consecutive free throws against the Spurs was brutal. I haven't bought any of his basketball cards on ebay because i figure that all the crazy Asian fans would overpay for the first couple sets. Buuuuuuuuut, I think it's finally time to go crazy.
Everyone should watch the season finale of The Buried Life on MTV. It's one of the more entertaining hours of television i've seen in a while. Their goal in this show is to make a million dollars in one month. The show ends with a scene in Vegas with a couple roulette spins for some serious $$$. I think/hope the roulette spins were real.

overrated
-I've never really experienced black friday shopping until this year. and it is very very overrated. I walked into Banana Republic and the guy told me the whole store was 40% off. so I kind of went crazy there. But after that, i lost some steam. fun day tho i'd say.
-It's freezing in Tracy. I'm not sure if it's always this cold in November, but it is freeeeeezing, and my Grandma's house is not the most insulated house in Tracy. In the morning the other day, my thermostat read 49 degrees! Fortunately, i have a Lasko portable heater that i carry around with me like an oxygen tank.
-The other day I was helping my dad get Christmas stuff down from the attic. He uses this really old shaky wooden ladder. He asked me to hold the ladder because it was shaking too much. I asked him why he didn't just buy a new one, but he said because it still works. But, isn't a ladder something you should replace BEFORE it breaks? Once it breaks, you break. But seriously, it's like texting while driving. It's no big deal until that one time a car in front of your breaks suddenly. In all seriousness, I need to break this bad habit of mine.
-I wonder how much my field goal percentage dips when someone is within 3 feet of me. It's so weird. I think i'm a decent warm-up shooter, but if someone just stands by me (and even if they don't try and block it), I think my FG% drops like 15% or so. The last time I played bball, I shot like 2-16, no exaggeration. I had the ugliest possession of my career, I missed like 4 put backs in a row.

Hi kids, we're home early.
I don't think i've laughed this hard in a while now. I DISTINCTLY remember this commercial and those two lines "Hi kids, we're home early" and "Hey, stop drooling on me".

nose
-I don't know ONE person that watches the Simpsons. I don't think i've ever watched an episode. But it's been on for yearssss. So who watches it?
-There is a new WSOP main event winner, and like always, he is sponsored by PokerStars.
-I made the mistake of watching Paranormal Activity 2 on Saturday. I'm dead serious, it was a mistake. Maybe it's just because i'm living by myself in an old country house, but I'm pretty sure this was the scariest movie i've ever seen. Ugh, so i get back to my house Saturday night, and close the garage. But on Sunday, I go to drive my car, and the garage door is open. ughhhhhhhhhhhh I hate it. if it happens again, i'm moving out
-I think in fantasy basketball, you're either a points and rebounds guy, or a steals and blocks guy. I'm definitely a steals and blocks guy. Jeremy Lin with 2 steals and 2 blocks! Soooooo sick

unbelievable
I can’t describe how I feel right now. For every game during the playoffs, I have jumped up and down, and lost my voice nearly each game. But for game 5 of the WS, I never yelled or jumped around. I think I was just in shock. After the game, I just kept shaking my head in disbelief.
I think I’m happier for my Dad and my uncles. They are all legit fans who have watched Giants baseball since they were kids. They watch every game and fall asleep in the 7th inning because they are tired from working hard all day. I still remember when hinske hit his homerun for the Braves to take a 3-2 advantage in the bottom of the 8th. I just kept asking my dad “how do you watch the giants year after year?”
This team was truly special. Everyone says their team is special, but it’s nothing compared to this Giants team. They were pretty big underdogs to the Phillies, and won that series 42. Then they were underdogs to texas, and dominate them to win in 5 games. It’s just amazing.
the past couple months have not been the easiest for a couple of reasons. But the Giants have been that little distraction. My dad and I don’t really see eye to eye on a lot of things. But, during the past 2 months, we have watched lots of games together and were able to talk about the Giants nearly every day. I’ll never forget this, but whenever the opposing team makes an error, my dad yells “dumbass, you dumbass".
There are just too many good stories with this team. It’s crazy to think that I’ll remember every player on this team until the day I die. I’m so happy for Renteria and Rowand. I would always talk shit about both of them because of their age and being overpaid. But wow, MVP of the world series! I’ll never forget Rowand gunning the runner out at home in the NLCS. Freddy Sanchez with 4 hits in game 1 and awesome defensive plays throughout the postseason. Brooks “hot hands” Conrad. Aubrey Huff had some huge hits the whole season. Juan Uribe’s game winners in 2 games of the NLCS. Javier Lopez being completely nasty from the bullpen. Brian Wilson, easily my favorite player! Buster posey being a stud. Bumgarner being nasty in game 4. Awesome story of Andres Torres. Timmy outpitching cliff lee twice. cody ross stepping up. i'll never forget going to the playoff games with andy scott and corinne.
To be honest, I didn’t cry after the game. But I was definitely emotional. This team was just so special in so many ways. I was a little sad after the game. I just want to keep watching this team play. It’s so amazing how much ESPN and the MLB network hates the Giants. Before every game on TBS and Fox, those damn announcers would never pick the Giants to win. They pretty much brainwashed me into thinking the giants had absolutely zero chance of winning the NLCS, and then the World series. I’m not 100% positive, but I think the Giants were the underdog in 10 of the last 11 games.
I would always talk shit about zito. But I mean, yeah, he hasn’t performed the way people thought when he signed his big contract. But then again, look at all the guys on this team who are extremely underpaid. I don’t know a lot about contracts and free agents and whatnot, but wow, the young starting pitchers combined with Buster is very fun to think about in the future.
This is really jumbled, but whatever. The main purpose of my blog is for me to read 5-10 years from now.
