mmm
school has been sucking some major dick lately...got like a ~20% on my test in wines class, took it cold. its worth 25% of my grade, which sucks even harder...i'm going to have to hit the books for the rest of this class...really wonder why i always do this shit to myself.
cfb is in full swing...really excited for this season. there are plenty of great games each week, UF is rolling, flag football is just about to start (updates to come), NFL season about to start as well (pumped, but not as pumped as cfb obv).
sortve disappointed with my poker this month. ive been playing alot more than previous months and probably not up all that much. still a while to go though, and i think i can finish strong. ive been planning on playing a few more tourneys than before as well, hope i can put myself in a good situation by playing some of those.
hopefully i pass all my fucking classes...i dont want to be here in the spring. if all does look good (and i think i can graduate), i'll have to think about where i'm going to go post-graduation...probably travel somewhere, not sure where though. europe, middle east, asia...who knows.
as i stated before, ive been playing alot of the deep stacked plo games on ftp lately. i'm really disappointed with my play as of the last few days...just not playing well at all. one thing i've struggled with in my poker career is discipline- i know consciously when i'm supposed to c/f or just give up, but instead i make terrible shoves. it's illogical and really quite terrible, and i know this. there are just so many situations where i'm like 'hmm i know this is a b/f or c/f but i ll just ship it anyways fuck him'...and that's not the right mindset. i've just been giving my money away in those situations (which oftentimes lead to crazy huge red lines and terrible blue lines, go figure).
anyways, just wanted to end the rant. our first flag game is this tuesday at night, i'm pumped as hell.

fat freaks
IHOP tr-
ive been to IHOP hundreds of times. tonight started the same, a friend and i sat in a booth, eating, minding our own business. we saw a SUPER ****ing fatass chick and a hick guy walk in a few minutes prior (probably thought the same thing- 'holy christ that woman is huge, do you really need more IHOP?') but said nothing.
so we're just sitting here, minding our own business, shooting the **** like normal. then the whale speaks (she is sitting in the booth behind ours)-
"hey...do you guys goin partying tonight?" (it's 1:30 on a ****ing monday night)
i turn my head and see if she's serious...considering both bars are closed at 1, we're nowhere near downtown, and we're dressed in like...jersey shorts and idiot shirts, most astute people can make the assumption that no, we are not going to a party. i suppose i shouldn't question the intelligence of a super whale who looks like she's about to die eating more IHOP though.
'uh...no. i'm going to bed after this'
'oh really? wow...okay...its just that me and him (she points to her friend, an equally brain dead indvidual) don't have work tomorrow and are looking for some parties.'
'uh...mmm...' (i sit there and eat my meal).
'i gotta 12 pack of bud and everything in the back seat of my car too. do you guys go to the university around here?'
i nod but don't say anything, and my friend and i are starting at each other, both thinking what the ****??
so we eat for a few minutes longer, not really saying much. i like to eat my food fast, whatever. then that fat**** interrupts my meal again-
"so are you guys like bffs? like best buds??"
from here on out, i fail to say anything...it's like encouraging this retard to continue to bother me. at one point i was going to say 'jesus lady, why dont you just shut the hell up and let me eat my meal?' instead, i just sat there (with my back turned to them, thankfully...my friend had to face them the entire time) and said nothing.
friend - "uhh...yeah, something like that i guess"
fat**** whale finally somewhat gets the hint and mutters- "oh...am i interrupting your meal? i'm sorry..." then continues to mutter to herself like the tard she is.
so i continue eating and then she turns around and i hear that ****ing voice again-
"so where are all the hot chicks tonight? where they all at?"
(i remain silent) friend- "uhh...they sure aren't in IHOP"
"oh okay...just trying to make conversation here...gotta think of more stuff to talk about"
so by this time, i'm giving my friends these looks like WTF this lady is bat**** annoying, stupid as hell, fat as ****, i want to strangle her. too bad her friend looks like the next coming of frankenstein, probably with an equal intelligence/strength as well. a few minutes pass and we are finishing up, getting the bill when i hear that damn voice one last time-
"i hope you guys don't think i'm hitting on you (god forbid)...i'm a lesbian anyways. just trying to make conversation"
my friend and i don't say anything, walk the **** out of there, both saying 'god what a fat freak, lady wasnt all there, etc'.

CFBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
cfb season is here! god this is the best time of the year, bar none. week 1 was already full of excitement/upsets/surprises.
UF blew out charleston southern, as expected. nothing really to discuss, especially since i still have to watch the game. UF played very vanilla on defense, didn't really change up fronts/etc. despite CSU having alot of spread formations, UF still kept a standard 4-3 with little variety in terms of personnel or blitzes. typically, UF likes to keep a 3-3-5 set against spread formations so meh.
even still, UF held them to 3 points, cant really complain. i think we'll see alot more stuff next week against troy. despite losing to bowling green, troy is still a pretty decent team and always plays well with many BCS schools. i'm hoping to see more tebow under center, more blitzing/etc, maybe some weird stuff like haden at QB, etc.
still thinking about what games to go to. i was thinking UF/UK since another friend is going to that game (and i could meet him there), but not sure. my expectations are high this year, and i'm expecting at least a BCS bowl. anything less i think is going to be a disappointment.
am i right to expect this much from UF? i dunno. on one hand, i need to be realistic- i know that going through the season (relatively) undefeated is going to be very hard. yeah, the schedule is easier than normal, but even still, there are some tougher games in the future.
i guess i'm expecting that UF takes the SEC east. i don't think that is too bold of a prediction...UGA is down, UK is better but still probably won't be able to compete, vandy is vandy, UTenn is better but not there yet. even still, i suppose we can have someone sneak up on us like last year.
with that said, i'm sortve expecting for UF to go to the SEC championship. i'd like to go this year, as i missed it last year. and even bigger hopes i hold are those of a national championship possibility in california. with those two games, airfare/flight/and ticket, costs are going to be alot of money.
even more of a constraint is school , but let's not discuss that.
this first week of cfb was pretty incredible- OU loses (pretty unacceptable for an elite team, not having any depth)...the OL was completely fucked as well, confused as hell.
tOSU struggled with navy. i think they'll have alot of problems with USC next week, even with it being in the shoe.
bama impressed me a whole lot. they opened up alot, using alot of wildcat/direct snap stuff. their D was pretty stuffing too. obviously a pretty undisciplined team though, and if they get those mistakes (along w/ turnovers), they can be really really good.
alot of teams were quite sloppy though (as to be expected). lots of turnovers, penalties, etc. obviously this should go down as the season progresses. teams like OSU, bama, boise state, etc. all looked pretty sloppy.
poker is going well. i haven't won a ton yet, but i think i can succeed. these PLO 200bb deep tables are pretty insane...i've been playing alright, though some pretty obvious moments of retardation on my part. probably will go into a post about my play in the near future, but not quite yet.
about a week more till my enrollment in spanish...FML

goals/end of aug/etc
k bored right now...should be reading some of my book (that i'm supposed to have read/done a summary/report on it soon) but fuck that.
august is finished out though. i didn't really play a ton of poker. won maybe 2k in thailand in the last few days, probably won a few k the past week or two. not really proud of my results but whatever, its winning.
just getting back into the swing of things now, with school. my classes are all looking to be pretty gay...one class, early Christianity, is going to suck some huge dick...the content is incredibly boring and the teacher presenting it is old as hell. he speaks in the same monotone voice and the entire class has a glazed view after 10 minutes in...i'll probably just continue to bring my laptop into class and just read forums/play poker or something.
i'm hoping that i'll do ok this semester, but who knows. with my pathetic work ethic, anything is possible...i sure hope i'll be able to finish though (by december).
still have to enroll in spanish class coming up soon. that's pretty much going to be the most important element of this semester, and my entire graduation is pretty much dependent on it. though, i'm so pathetic when it comes to both spanish and work ethic that i could fail easily.
my goals this month -
get back into climbing- beat a 5.9+.
go to all my classes and do well (for the most part)
play 20k hands (have a prop w/ my roomie, so this should be fine)
play more tourneys
enroll in spanish and finish taxes
win in flag football, don't lose, don't suck dick.
watch UF win all their games.
up my poker learning, watch a video or two a week, start discussion hands again/get back more into coaching.
ive been doing alot better on the wall, getting back into it. ive been trumping most of the 5.9s in the gym, looking to get the 5.9+ out of the way (or at least challenge myself). ive been pretty lazy w/ poker but that isn't a big change.
cheers, gl in august

fail
went to the climbing wall tonight, failed hardcore in a relative sense. i've lost alot of strength from when i was doing it alot and this is disappointing...i struggled with some of the easier ones, climbs that i'd normally dominate.
the differences between outdoor and indoor climbing is pretty huge. outdoor holds were typically easier than some of the holds indoors, probably due to the texture (indoor climbing holds are made of hard plastic? i think? and smooth).
the rating systems obviously vary as well. outdoors, we did climbs that were allegedly like 5.10+ or whatever. indoors, i still struggle with 5.9+, at least in my current gym. i've been to a few different gyms and the rating systems vary widely...i guess the rating systems are pretty subjective to begin with.
i'd like to be able to get to 5.10+ by the end of the semester. with hard work, i think i can do it. i'm going to work on going to the wall 4 times a week.
i'm not really sure what the consensus is on healing/resting muscles with rock climbing. i suppose (like all things)it varies to how good your muscle endurance/etc is. in the past i've usually climbed every other day or so to ensure healing and rest (and running on the alternate days). i'm thinking about just doing a quick climb or two every day though to see how much i can improve both endurance as well as strength and technique.
hoping to get back into it. this is my biggest goal right now (aside from getting all my graduation/academics in order). flag football starting soon as well (and cfb for that matter), can't wait. will probably write some stuff on UF here since i'm bored, as well as some cfb predictions.
