Take me to your Machines

So another one of my friends..Actually another 2 of my friends are married. It was a great day for Shawn and Amy and they are very happy, and I'm happy for them. I even got all the music right :P

The reception was a blast, as it seemed like the whole crew was there. But the big part of story happened on Thursday night.

After the rehearsal and decorating of the hall, we decided to throw a few cards around, where I got my 2nd ever 4 tens, 2 in the pocket and first 2 cards on the flop..I ended up knocking 2 guys out. Shawn and I played for a bit then we decided to just take the pot and split it up so we could head down to dooly's

We got there and I decided to throw a little bit of money in the machines. I took $80 out. I sang a couple of songs, then I threw in a few more dollars and after just trying to get away from them by making a few max bets...got 5 armadillos for $125. So I pulled that out. After a while, Derrick goes over and I join him and decide to throw some more away. once again just trying to kill it off..5 oil wells on a max bet..$225 later it's time to go home. People are starting to look for my horseshoe :D. Lucky in cards, not so much in love I guess.

It didn't take long to spend. Breakfast out, a few rounds at the reception, got some groceries and paid some bills, and I got enough for some cards tonight. Maybe the lucky streak will continue

No Pearl Jam tickets for me, Tara and I tried to get some but they sold out in less then 2 hours. Looks like I'll be making the trip just to the casino that night. Oh well..

Star Wars Fanboys...Light yourself on Fire!!!

Mirror.co.uk - News - Showbiz News - LIGHT-SABRE DUEL PUTS TWO IN HOSPITAL

If this is not the most idiotic thing I've ever read...I don't know what else to say...

A good thing I can say for G4

I've said it before and I'll say it again, It's great to be a Twit.

A follower of the guys over at This Week In Tech that is. The old Screen Savers gang is back together again and it's a gread download every week. It runs about an hour each week, and it'sa ll the technology news and Screen Savorish stuff that "Attack of the Show" is not.

That being said I did enjoy the G4 coverage of E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) and the launch of both the X-box 360 and PS3. I'm a big PS2 fan, but I am strongly looking a the X-box 360

BTW: I've just finished downloading Systm...haven't watched it yet. The host Kevin Rose is leaving G4 to do more stuff like this, which is great for him. There is more on Kevin and Systm and that stuff here
James says it better then I ever could.

A not so great Star Wars review

I'm not a big star wars fan, but from all the reviews that I've heard, this one is the most damning, of this movie and the whole series

Edit: Now with the Actual review Here

Harry Potter News

Apple - Trailers - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

That's looks cool. It's the best book in the series thus far so the movie should be just as good

Candido

-If 2 years ago, I had read on a message board that Chris Candido had passed away, it would have not been that much of a surprise. Candido had the reputation for being a major partyer on the wrestling screen, messing around with drugs and fast living that made other people in the dressing rooms of WWF, and ECW, where drug abuse was an everyday thing, cringe.

In the past two years however, Candido had cleaned himself. He looked great in the ring, winning himself a job with TNA with a great IMPACT match against AJ Styles. Both in the ring and as a manager for The Naturals, he looked like he was having fun.

Last Sunday, He suffer a broken leg and needed surgery to attach screws to his ankle during a throwaway cage match on the TNA LOCKDOWN pay-per-view. I watched that match last night. No official cause of death yet, although both a blood clot or a staph infection are both rumored causes.

He was a lot of fun to watch in the ring, and was a true Natural, and I think that's the best tribute I could give.


-I really haven't had much to say lately, I guess it's because nothing much has changed for me. I'm still working the same job, doing the same things. I'm having a lot of fun but nothing more then that. I haven't heard about the new Supervisor job yet, but should hear one way or another next week. My much maligned personal life may be looking up (More on that later) MAybe the times be a changing

Saturday Poker Night

-A saturday night down at the King's was a poker night. I won 2 out of the 4 games, putting me up $40 for the night. I just kept getting the pocket cards and hit a couple of straights when I needed them. in about 2 weeks, it's another night at the King's for a birthday celebration. I can't wait

Join FireFox...Be one of us :D

-There is 2.6 million people using Firefox now. No popup's and a bunch of plug in's. Tabbed browsing is great. Actually the story is that there were that many people viewing the firefox website...but they all downloaded..I'm sure :D

-One blog I always take a look at is Raging Red. She's always got something interesting to say.

-So I went to the poker tournament on sunday. I ended up in about the 52nd place or so. I had 4 10's on the third hand of the day that I didn't get anyone to bite on, and had a king high straight get beat by a full house, so just bad luck all the way around. Made most of my money back in side games, but it was for the experience, that's what I'm telling myself :D

-I also picked up a couple of Games for the PS2, the World Championship Poker the Link pretty much sums up my thoughts on it. I also picked up Pride, it's an older game that's missing a career mode, but is a great game none the less.

Poker Night

SO this is How my poker night went:


This is Willie, after a bad beat


This is Willie after a great Win


This is Willie, after beating both Tara and I on all in bets with a Flush


This is just here, because I want it to me, and Masters of the Universe Rocks

Friday

-It's April Fools day and I didn't prank anyone

-So I found out the the uncomfortable feeling I've had in my chest lately is a muscle spasm. I got to keep it stretched out. I took the day off, but I'll be working the weekend as a supervisor. Should be interesting.

-Next Sunday, I head to moncton for a poker tournament. Can't wait to get there

-I'm always saying that I wasnt to put more on my BLOG, then I go to wirte...and can't remember any of it
