Vegas is Fun!

Not to often am I in so many places this weekend and feel like I am not totally exhausted. I was at two barbecues and they both involved hangin at a pool (or an OOL at the Daltons). I did have to work saturday but all in all a very good weekend. I found out today though that the Hawkins' are cancelling there monthly tourney for Aug. and that really sucks. I am probably not going to anymore of the cash games since the comps are coming up and I need to train 5 days a week. Damn it. Oh well even more moola to keep in the kitty. Oh I did forget to thank the weather for not being in the upper triple digits this weekend every party was far more enjoyable since we didn't have to worry about our faces melting. Hope everyone else's was fun!

Peace Out!

Sponsors Needed

Well the next ABS comps are coming up and that means more traveling ahead. It sucks that there are two capable gyms to hold a comp here but have not yet stepped up to the plate to host one. So that means I have to travel to AZ, CA, and UT to compete in the organization. I need to find out how I can get sponsored by like nike or red bull or something. It's not like it's that expensive but gas alone is gonna bite this year. I am psyched though just seeing the dates on their website gets me thinking of training harder. I'd love to keep typing but I need to go start doing my 50 pullups now.

Peace Out!

Right and Left is not a Menage-a-trois

So the wife is out of town this weekend. What is a guy to do that is lives in Vegas has some $ he can spend? Well friday was spent getting caught up on Big Brother, So you think you can dance (screw you the chicks are hot ((along with the host)) and other shows. Saturday worked until noon then went home a took a nap. Yea I know big Player in the House. Well I did end up going to dinner with the Hawkins' at Olive Garden, which turned out to be a front for asking me to help move a desk (which O would have gladly done anyways). Then whilst at the Hawkins' we watched Sin City. That movie is freaky but since I like comics it was easy for me to watch and I was good enough on its own. So that was my Saturday. Not the erotic Soiree I was expecting but I was never into that much anyways -cough-. So today I served at church and met up again with my love child John Hawkins to play some cards at Sunset and had my worst experience at a tourney possible. Not a freakin hand dealt to me the whole time. Not a pair not Ace anything good just horse crap with extra kick in the nuts to go. But I did provide the MOJO for john to win some chunks o moola at roulette (which he ended up pretty much giving back to sunset anyways). So now I am home waiting for my darling wife to get home. I should do some bills and clean the place up so she sees I'm not completly useless on my own.

Peace Out

Hot. Damn Hot!!

So it is typical vegas weather now. Hot with a side of hot. But fret not the times of "sorta hot" with a scosche of "eh not to bad" are around the corner. It is these months that make me wonder why we stay here. What is so special about Vegas that makes us all stay here like flies towards a light? I will ponder this further as I play poker with the other psychopaths in my life.

10 Year Reunion

So the saying that time flys whyen you're havin fun is very true. My years after high school have been much more fun than any of the years being in school. I traveled, played around (not that way) got married bought a house have a career etc. So what was I looking to achieve by attending the 10 year reunion? I really couldn't tell you but I was hoping to have some conversations with people I remember but forgot about, or haven't seen in forever. Well the haven't seen people part was takin care of but I really didn't have anyone there I could actually hold a conversation with. See I wasn't what you would call a social butterfly in High School. Hell I'm not even one now but that's besides the point. So going to a reunion around a group of people I didn't really know back in the day was sort of moot. I did however get to read some of the Grads bios and it is interesting to see other people doing something with their lives. I wouldn't say that I left discouraged or depressed but I was taken aback since my memories of High school had fun moments but knowing that none of the people that I shared those moments with could make it made it sad for me not to get out of the reunion what they are intended for. I never was in the popular crowd or knew tons of people but hey I would like to go down memory lane with those that I did associate with. So its back to the grind of work play sleep work rinse repeat. Have a good week.

Peace Out.

Work in Progress

After another adventure at the Hawkins Tourney I came up empty handed (literally). I did however make some good plays I bluffed with AQo and took down a big pot. I made two obvious bad calls. I knew it after/during putting my chips in the pot. I analyzed the situation afterwards and tried to make some mental notes. But in the end my K7o did not get any better against Carl's (the eventual winner) AQo. (this is where the work in progress comes in) Apparently I was steaming after gettin knocked out. This may seem like a normal expected response for being knocked out of a tourney but in true Remeika fashion I guess I was wearing my emotions on my shoulders. I say "I guess" since in my mind I was trying to make a concious effort to be sportsman-like and respectfully walk away, but my wife informed me later it wasn't as it seemed. I know that my hand wasn't going to be the best, I was hoping that everyone was going to go away. Ashleys observation however of my reaction is completly different than what I felt I was putting out there. So on I go into the basement trying to pinpoint when it is that I go into that zone of Hyper-emotional and get all poopy-pants on everyone, so that I can figure out when I need to put myself back in check. Hell this time I hardly spoke out and I listend to music the majority of the time. It was quite nice and I'm sure for others also. I don't see myself (hope no one else does either) as a Mike "the Mouth" or a Phil Hellmuth, however it is no excuse if I respond in a way where people feel they have to walk on eggshells. I don't want to be "that guy" and I apologize to those that have to put up with me in those states while I get myself figured out.

p.s. thanks to anyone that has helped me realize when I'm being a dick. without your feedback i'm not going to get any better and I like havin fun with you guys.

Peace Out! Eh
