This month is weird poker wise. I'm ok with it though, making a smallish profit so far.
I went jogging with an old friend of mine today. She used to be kind of chubby but now she looked really good in that aspect. Reminded me of something some guy on some forum I used to post on years ago said. Something like; "My favourite kind of girl is the kind with who's really skinny but still has fairly big boobs. Because they'll look huge!". Oh, and it was actually nice to run a little bit. Haven't been doing that in probably like 2 years so that was a bit surprising. I'll try to do it 2-3 times a week for the rest of the summer I guess.
Also "The Wind", Warren Zevon's last album (he wrote the songs and recorded it while dying from cancer) just came out on Spotify (in Sweden at least). It's a really nice bunch of songs. The guy might be one of my favourite song writers. Some geems from this album:
From dirty life and times
Gets a little lonely, folks,
you know what I mean
I'm looking for a woman with low self-esteem
To lay me out and ease my worried mind
While I'm winding down my dirty life and times
From Numb As A Statue
I'm gonna beg, borrow or steal
Some feelings from you
I'm gonna beg, borrow or steal
So I can have some feelings too
I don't care if it's superficial
You don't have to dig down deep
Just bring enough for the ritual
Get here before I fall asleep
There are also other songs from the album that I like a lot. The beautiful "She's too good for me"b], Zevon's last try to write a song about, ehh, a girl that's too good for him comes to mind. It's a bit like Dylan's "All I really want to do" except it's softer and in my opinion actually better written (which says a lot, Dylan is a great song writer). Yea, sure it's overly sentimental and everything, but what the hell. I can live with that once in a while. [b]Prison Grove sounds a lot like some Johnny Cash cover, in a good way, and it has all the feeling in the world. Lastly Rub Me Raw is some fairly cool blues.
Overall the CD is obviously his last goodbye to family, friends, fans and loved ones and I feel that this fact makes it ok that much of the lyrics are, despite retardedly good, really sentimental.
Oh, and he's version of "knocking on heaven's door" is one of the best I've ever heard.
only thing negative, at least for me, when running is that I feel spent afterward and can't play poker for a couple of hours without making some bad plays. Depends on how much you're pushing yourself i guess.
If you like that kind of music, you'll probably like jackson c frank. He has a really interesting life story, from wiki: When Jackson Frank was 11, a furnace exploded at his school, sending a ball of flames down corridors until it ended up in Frank's music classroom in the Cleveland Hill Elementary School in Cheektowaga, New York. [1] The fire killed fifteen of his fellow students and hospitalized him for seven months. It was during his time in the hospital that he was first introduced to playing music, when a teacher, Charlie Castelli, brought in an acoustic guitar to keep Frank occupied during his recovery. When he was 21, he was awarded an insurance check of $100,000 for his injuries, giving him enough to "catch a boat to England."
he was playing the folk scene in england and paul simon discovered him and produced his first record, had a lot of mental problems through-out his life and ended up being homeless for about 10 year. Got rediscovered and made some demos, died at 56 from pneumonia and cardiac arrest, never reached any commercial success but a lot of big names has covered his music including Simon and Garfunkel, Counting Crows, Nick Drake, Sandy Denny, and Bert Jansch.
if poker is dangerous to them i would rank sports betting as a Kodiak grizzly bear who smells blood after you just threw a javelin into his cub - RaiNKhAN
