FML round two

If it weren't for running good at the tables...I'd be one livid SOB. In the past two weeks I've managed to lose 3 credit cards, get stranded in tyson's corner, gotten a 125 dollar ticket from a cop...for what? HOV violation of rte 66...why is that a 125 dollar ticket...I mean i'm all for encouraging ridesharing...but do we really have to do it to the tune of 125 dollars? FFS! I've had to go to this advertising job which I'm getting paid like a mexican bus boy while making money hand over fist in the 2 odd hours i get to play a day. I've gotten sick, I've driven or been on the road with no AC in 94 degree weather for more than 8 hours.

Hi my name is Al Coholic

Ladies and gents (mostly ladies) its time for my rant.....
F CELL PHONES! Even the magnificent Iphone cannot suade me from absolute disgust with this cell phone generation. This weekend, on two occassions we had people over...and on both occassions at least one person in the group might as well have not been there. She was living vicariously through her texts, either planning future nights or the immediate future plans for that night. Well, I've had it, the next time someone does it i'm taking their phone and chucking it out the window. I mean seriously, why even come over if all ur going to do is text someone who is not there. Siobahn was probably the only person this weekend that was 100% a good party goer, even when she didn't wanna be there, she was engaged in conversation and made an effort. /rant

open new rant

F Alcohol! I've been at or near my limit in drinks for 5 days straight. AC combined with Liz comin in has led to some of the worst hangovers, massive weight gain, and peculiar retardation ever. On the plus side...I think I had fun every night except for one, and managed to bounce back fairly well every day but one. No more drinking for Trevor! EVER! Until friday when we go to NYC to visit liz....wait wut?

Atlantic City
This "Atlantic" city is quite possibly the skeeziest...sleeziest...and most bizarre of places I have ever been. Both nights I was there, I stayed up till ~7am, a feat made much easier by the massive amounts of oxygen pumped into casino floors. I think I saw the sun the second day....maybe...once. Had some great food, met some cool locals. I guess the weirdest thing that happened...the thing that could only happen in Vegas or AC...was that on night one we went to a strip club (a too oft repeated manuveur methinks :/) and I got a dance from this Russian blonde who said that I must have worked out due to my massive muscles (a too oft repeated line methinks :/). Anywayz, the next morning/ 7am night Scott and I ran into her and her friends at a diner we went to. She was all dolled up with her russian friends laughing and pointing at a very boisterous and flirty me...anyway...I dunno if that will ever happen again.
/pointless anecdote.

Poker is still going well, but my life roll is still taking hits left and right from rando stuff...but w/e .
Got a call from Kev from china. He's havin a blast, and loves bargaining with the locals lol...something I know i'm going to suck at. I just don't care about money enough to haggle :/ I know I know that's ridiculous akjl;alfkj;lajfjiorqiewnv....whatever

Sometimes you're the windshield

This month has not been going according to plan :/

It started out with a 4k heater in 3 days, then hit a serious speed bump (graph to come later).

Anyway, I'm recovering quite nicely now, and am going to take a trip up to Atlantic City tonight with the GM crew. Dunno where we're staying, dunno when we get back, don't really care! I need the break. In other news, I got a pseudo real job as 4 star's advertising director (ok maybe I made that title up). It doesn't pay well (if at all), but it gets me out of the house and meeting people in gyms across Arlington. This has multiple benefits, as I dunno my way around here very well, so I'm learning the lay of the land.

Haven't heard from Kevin in a while, so i'm assuming he's in China. I can't wait to hear how it is for him! I'm so pumped to go and he is a good litmus test for what I want to do there.

Anyway...here's the month graph for Full tilt

I know it looks like I can't complain, but in poker there are 2 types of luck...all in luck (whether your AK holds preflop against their AQ) and Cooler luck (are you serious?? QQ to AA again?!?!) The latter does not show up on this graph, but this has been one of my worst months in straight cooler luck. Oh well...let's hope this recovery holds and I can get this back on track.

Trevor's public apology to the world

I'm sorry world, you've given me nothing but the best, and this is how I repay you?
For shame.

In the world of Trevor, it is always 75 degrees and sunny

Let's do a little life recap for you. Here are my last 5 days (month so far).

I don't know how long this heater will last...and I don't know how much of it is just sustainable good poker. I do know that I can't expect to run like god forever...That said i'm on pace for all goals! 15k seems like it should be in reach (even though i said that about 10k last month). Anyway, that's only the beginning of the run good.

Capitals series is 2-0. Ovechkin is a man possessed!! Peacock got to go to the game, and I watched it with Dan back home. After being at the games last series...I have to say its hard not to just reach for everyone in the room and give them a huge high 5 every time something like this happens:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrPxw465nkk

I think the fun thing about hockey in general...is that its nonstop action. Soccer would be a great american sport if we weren't so impatient, but Hockey gives us the best of both worlds. There are no prolonged periods of passing in hockey, no shortage of hitting and stealing and shot-taking. It has the advantage of constant action (other than the occasional faceoff) that football doesn't have, and goals are infrequent enough that they are all uniquely special (which basketball doesn't have). All in all, I'd still rather watch playoff football, and grand slam tennis, but hockey has definitly bolted into a clear number three spot. Oh, but you do have to find someone to care about lest hockey is just like every other sport, just a bunch of grown men playing a game...but i guess that's true of all sports.

Furthermore, it's cinco de mayo, and i'll be cooking dad's world famous blackbear burritos for people, sippin on margs and livin the life in my DC palace :)

Until next time au revoir!

and GOGOGOGOGOGO

one of the best cash game days ever...

Today I made 1700 dollas in like 1 hr....I think I finally had a Loriesque day :P

More to come this month I promise!!!

But i'm off to Freddytown, so I can't expound on how this happened or anything fun like that. Hopefully get to see Moges this trip!
