”I'm putting tinfoil up on the windows
Lying down in the dark to dream
I don't want to see their faces
I don't want to hear them scream”

- Warren Zevon, Splendid Isolation

Yesterday I played some poker. I can't remember how I did, probably up a little bit. I'm up a little bit most days now. A week or two ago I was down most of the time. Around 6 in the morning I couldn't sleep, so I decided to go for a walk. I hadn't slept since I don't know how long but somehow the fresh air made me feel good and the early morning sunshine refreshed me. I started running. I haven't been out running for a year, and it wasn't very far, but it just felt so good. And I figured, maybe I'm back?

Last year I made a shitton of money, but I did not work enough on my game and to be honest I think I just got used to running like good and taking everybody's money in coin flips. I must have gotten senile or something, and I think I just got into bad habits of not thinking. I should have played more and studied the game more and overall done better, but I did not.

“If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do
If I could turn back”

- Cher, If I Could Turn Back Time

And did I tell you guys, I was always jealous when I saw how some of you grew up and bought houses, moved in with your girlfriends and got some kids. So I found myself a little girl last winter, whom I got fairly drunk on really nice red wine and when we woke up she still wanted to hang out with me. We're now engaged and just as soon as we're done with school we'll buy a house and live happily ever after.

“And I will always love you
You will always be mine
Forever and always
Till the end of time”

- June Cash Carter, Song to John

Anyway, thought you guys should know. Some of you might've found one with bigger boobs, and some might found someone with less of a temper, but I happen to love my girl and that what matters. Except for possibly the temper I would not have her any other way. White girl with an ass, BOOM!

Also, she's smart as hell so that's good.

Back to poker. I've always been a big supporter or the denial and error strategy proposed by Ricky in Trailer Park boys. Can't do it? Fuck that! Sure I can!

“If I should fall from grace with God
Where no doctor can relieve me
If I'm buried 'neath the sod
But the angels won't receive me

Let me go, boys
Let me go, boys
Let me go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry “

- The Pogues – If I should fall from Grace with God.

I don't fucking lose. It's that simple. It's my game. Remember when Avon gets out of jail? He could have taken the easy route and gone with what Stringer did and just laid back and be just fine. But nah, outnumbered, outgunned and out-ganstered (let's face it, Marlo and Omare are two of the coolest characters in any TV-show ever) he still decides to bring the noise. I'm not made for a desk job.

“Every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the
world
And ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl”

- The Clash, Death or Glory

So? What have I've done except hanging out with this girl for all this time? Well for once I'm almost done with my Law Degree. I'm writing my thesis on how Game Theory was used and could have been used to “solve” the negotiations during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I'm also doing a little bit of work for the Swedish Libertarian Party and I've become increasingly involved in the stock market and this time around I'm actually making a little bit of money. I'm invested heavily in precious metal junior miners and some oil companies.

“I'm gonna take a trip around the world
I'm gonna kiss all the pretty girls
I'll do everything silver and gold
And I got to hurry up before I grow too old“

Joe Strummer, Silver and Gold (Before I Grow to Old)

It's my opinion that the European Union, the Obama administration (which is only slightly worse then most before), Ben Bernanke and the FED and various other central banks is destroying the value of money and assuming that they'll continue to go unchecked for a couple of more years they'll destroy the middle class. If you think that you'll get rich by working hard at your desk I'm afraid that you're to late. That ship has sailed. So I'll try it my way instead. Hard work is all fine and dandy, but it will no longer be enough.

“Sida vid sida, tillsammans hjälps dom åt
staten och kapitalet, dom sitter i samma båt
fast det är inte dom som ror, ror så svetten lackar
och piskan som kittlar, kittlar inte heller
deras feta nackar”

Ebba Grön, Staten och Kapitalet

Well fuck it, we never did set out to be normal. We're geeks and freaks, in some cases a bit sexed up by money and self-esteem but at what other place can you find such a wide range of creativity? A bunch of people have started up businesses, a fair few are millionaires (I plan to join those ranks within a couple of years) and I'm sure most of us will do fine anyway. One or two of us might actually do something really great and make a difference.

“Hero--the voice of reason
Against the howling mob
Hero--the pride of purpose
In the unrewarding job

Hero--not the champion player
Who plays the perfect game
Not the glamor boy
Who loves to sell his name
Everybody's buying
Nobody's hero“

Rush, Nobody's Hero

Anyway. I don't know if I'll make it back to high stakes. I don't know if I'll be a poker player forever. I don't know shit really. Not really sure if I'll post here or not. Not much omaha discussion here anyway. So last parting words for this time:

Check out Huskystarcrafts youtube channal for some new games with Jinro aka LP's own FrozenArbiter. The guy is a serious SC2 beast.

Here's a link to the songs I quoted, they're all pretty good: Dusty's new adventures

Gold is really close to breaking 1600 right now and silver might break 40 fairly soon too. Hopefully this week. That might make me some money.

Yea. Well I'll get some pics of the rings as soon as possible. Problem is that I put it in my "important box", girl looked at it, put it somewhere and then left the country for 3 weeks so I don't know where it is lol. It's too big for my finger too, but I might have some old pic somewhere anyway.

And yea, Mises owns.

Start following MMA, its a good sport to follow for poker players. Plenty of events = plenty of action.

The General forum is always updated with upcoming fights.

Yea I'm betting a lot of it and I did BJJ for about a year and a half. Havn't had time lately but I might take it up again. I actually buy most PPVs from the UFC.
