  • blogga please...

    Well, i have been called out. after a very angry post rallying against the clucking hens that belittled my blogging, i have been away from you oh blog for too long. and i have had things to say, certain very memorable acts took place in the last few weeks, except because of such acts i have not had time to set them down.

    first thing is definitely first. a new lady friend has suddenly entered the picture. Out of nowhere, from being a sex craved lonely lunatic, desperately wanting companionship and the soft touch of someone's skin to caress, i have been thrown into a completely different situation.

    and the blog adds another edge of complexity as well. my exgirlfriend kerry and i still remain friends, but in aiding that we have made a pact keeping certain information from each other, like new people we are seeing. Well, she has been known to read this live journal, and i do not wish to offend her, but i owe it to the blog to keep honest and write what i want to write.

    in addition, the new girl also reads the blog, and i asked her how she felt about her being included. She wished to remain as simple R., and so she shall be. What i really wanted to discuss was how explicit i was allowed to become, and i really didn't get into that because it did not want to fuck things up at a very early stage of the gizzame.

    back to that in a sec, because in other news, my obsession with poker has led me into a weird underworld. Poker gaming clubs here in the city. I heard about one and suddenly i knew about two others and next thing you know i am in the city at a no limit hold 'em table, playing through the night, and ultimately losing 600 dollars. Yeah, that sucked, except there were some moments in there where it could have been golden.

    when i first got there, i bought in for the maximum (having more chips allows you to control the game more so it would be stupid to buy in for less) at 300 dollars. I sat down, and got good cards before the flop, but since i had never been there, i didn't know what a big bet was or anything really, and next thing you know, after the flops didn't come my way, i lost the 300 in about fifteen minutes. i felt like such a fool, and i could feel the other people at the table just eyeing me as fresh meat. i left and went to the atm and took out another 300, and came back, ready to be a bit more patient and try to learn the way this table played.

    i got there at about 10pm. By 2 am, i was down to my last fifty of my second 300, down a woping 550, and not happy at all. By six am, playing through the night, i was up 50. Yes, i made my second and original 300 back, and was even profiting by 50 dolores. I knew i could play this game i said. And then, in a very large pot, i get two sixes on the board to go with my 6 nine in my hand. I had trips! But on the last card, the only onther person in the pot bets fifty dollars, which is a very big bet, and without much thinking, i go all in. Now, i had become a somewhat chip leader, and this other guy (and indian man named avi) was just a bit below me. He kept looking at his cards and looking at me, and he almost threw it away, but finally called. I showed up my trip sixes with a smile. Only for him to bang the table with his cards also showing a six, only with a queen kicker, not a nine. The pot, and most of my stack was his. After that, i played on tilt, reeling from the loss and from playing all the way through darkness til the sun came up, and lost my remaining 100 or so. So much for a poker education.

    The two weeks after that, i went back to the clubs almost daily, fluctuating in how much i won or lost. I came back close to even, and then i fell down into the red again. Now i am trying to stay away from the places except when they have tournaments, its the style of poker i enjoy the best.

    As for the girl, i met her at friend's party (greg barlow's) and had a nice first talk flirtation. She lived very near by

    Yes people, another blog entry unfinished. Wha happened back at this time is that i would snek in blog entries at work. So, if i were in the middle of one, and i had to do something all of the sudden, i would just write "more later" totally planning on putting more later. And yet in never happened. Now i write blog entries at home (because my photos reside on my home computer) and i dod not let them go unfinished. Sorry for the inconvenience.
