Ive been playing a bit lately but compared to the volume I was putting in before its pretty small. I think I kinda burnt myself out and I had a pretty unsucessful shot when I tried to move up so it really discouraged me so I decided to slow the poker aspect of my life down a bit.

Ive pretty much been living the life though during this little break. Ive been going out lots, hitting up the beach, chilling with friends and meeting lots of new people. Last weekend I went to Bayfest which is a completely shit show lol. Its actually a huge 2 day concert where a bunch of country groups play. This year the two headliners were Tim McGraw and Brad Paisley.

The last thing I was going there for was the country bands lol. I just thought it would be a lot of fun to go there and get smashed with my buddies and meet some new people. I ended up going down with 3 of my buddies who I went to high school / played hockey with. We got there pretty early on Friday and managed to pick out a sweet spot to set up the camp site lol. My fucking air matress pump was broken which really pissed me off because I didnt really want to sleep on the hard ground but Ill get into that part in a bit lol.

There was another group of atleast 30 people set up right across from us and it turned out my buddies and I knew over half of them. They partying it up pretty hard so we went over and joined them in some games of flip cup and beer pong. Turns out I suck at both but I wanted to get wasted so who cares. By the time 7:00 came around everyone in this camp site was shit faced. We all decided to head over to the show to grab some more drinks and get a good spot.

When we get to the show my one buddy starts talking to this girl he knew through one of his ex g/fs or some shit and she had a friend with her who was dece but my other buddy was one step ahead of me and started wheelin her lol. So anyways they both take off with those girls to get some drinks and shit and my buddy Wes and I decide to take a walk around and see if we know anymore people here.

So were walking around and someone kicks me in the ass. I turn around and its one of my ex g/fs and a few of her friends. I had sorta started talking to her again maybe 4 weeks ago. We were still pretty good friends but there was still a little something there. The week before bayfest we actually hooked up one night. Everyone was checking out this new bar in town and she was there and we just hit off lol. I wont go into details though... you guys can imagine lol. I actually had no idea that she was going to be here at bayfest though so it was a bit of a surprise.

Wes and I ended up going to grab some more drinks with them and then we grabbed a spot in the crowd to watch the show. I thougth it might be a bit akward for Wes becasue he didnt know any of them but it turns out he caught the eye of one of the girls and during the show I looked back and there he is making out with one of them lol.

Tim McGraw was the headliner on Friday night. I knew maybe 3 of his songs lol. He was arlight I guess but half the time I was trying to hold my ground in the crowd. There was so much shoving it was fucking rediculous. Im actually realyl surprised that I didnt see any fights or anything during the show.

After Timmy finished his set we went out to the front to try and find everyone they came with and my two other buddies. I call them up and Im like where you guys at? My buddy says "Were at the camp site... really bust man gotta go" lol! So my ex ends up asking me to come back to her friends house where she was staying. Wes had hit it off with one of her friends so he came with us too lol. This was awesome since my air matress was fucked and Im pretty sure my buddies had both the tents we bought down occupied. We end up going back there and everyone went to bed. My ex and I decided it would be a good idea to hit up the hott tub lol. Defenitly a good call. Again.. no details for you guys lol.

The next morning I was feeling pretty rough. It was noting a joint couldnt fix though haha. Wes and I got a ride back to the camp site around 1030 in the morning and when we got back people were already getting wasted. Round 2. Not much stuff happened during the day this time except for a lot of drinking games and shit lol. We played a pretty cool game that I havent played before. You need 4 bamboo sticks and 4 cups, 2 for each team. YOu set them up with a bit of space between them... enough for a frisbee to fit through and then put the cups on top of the sticks. The object is to get hte frisbee between the sticks or to knock the cups off. You get 3 points if you get it between the sticks, 1 if you knock the other teams cup off but if they catch the cup beore it hits the ground after its been knocked off they get 2 points. If anyone knows the name of this game tell me lol.

Around 6:00 my two buddies fucked off to go have dinner with those two girls they met last night so again it was Wes and I on our own lol. We ended up drinking there beer since they left. Fuck em lol. Around 8:00 We stumbled over to the show. We ended up meeting my ex and her friends again. Saturday night the headliner was Brad Paisley. He rocked the shit outta the crowd that night. I was really impressed with him. He sure can rip the shit out of a stratocaster lol. Hes got a lot of good songs too so I really enjoyed it.

After the show when we were walking out I saw my two buddies with those girls. I went over to talk to them and they seemed really pissed lol. I guess the one girl was all over another guy during the show and the other one had a b/f ahahahahahaha. Serves em right. So they were like yo lets go back to the camp site and drink some beers. Wes and I were like fuck nah were leavin with these ladies. Peace queers lol. So again we went back to my ex's friends house for the night. Turns out I paid for a camp site for nothing lol.

In the morning I woke up around 9:00 and look at my phone. 12 text messages and 15 missed calls lol. Those guys were all over us to get back there so we could leave and get back home. The good thing was they were stuck there until we got back because Wes drove and we certainly were not in any hurry to get back to there lol. We ended up grabbing some breakfast with girls and then getting back to the campsite at 11:00. When we got there they were both sitting in the car and had it all packed up. Nice! lol. And yea... that was the weekend at Bayfest... what a great weekend it was.

Damn this is getting long lol. I guess Ill talk a little bit of poker with you guys now. I have been a bit here and there still and its acutally been going really really well lol. I decided though that there are a few good sites out there that I need to bonus whore. Sicne Im Canadian there is a lot of Euro sites that I can play on still so Im going to give em a go. Starting in August Im going to to go clear a few bonuses that PartyPoker has. I heard that the games there are pretty soft so hopefully I can make some nice coin while Im there. After that the plan is to go over to iPoker. I heard its possible to get 50% rakeback over there so with my volume + other bonuses I should make a killing while Im there. For the remainder of the month Im just going to stick it out on FTP and try to get some more points so I can get that 24 inch monitor they have in the store. Hopefully by the time I go back to school in September Im ready to start 100nl! Wish me luck guys.
