Now on to other stuff. I learned something about one of my friends today that I didn't know. It's nothing I will share here, but it opened my eyes a little bit. I alrady had a ton of respect for him, but this new information make me gain even more respect for him and the person that he has become despite all he has been through.
Speaking of my friends, I'll go ahead and introduce my closest ones. I live with my 4 closest friends: Jordan, Kyle, Keith and Ben. I went to high school with all of them except Ben, and I met Ben in college. We live in a 4 bedroom house in a nice neighborhood. My other close friend would be Eric. He lives in Marion by himself.
Jordan and Keith are my oldest friends. We graduated together, and they are my 2 best friends. Jordan is pretty laid back, but he can get pretty fired up at times. I sometimes think he has an anger problem ;-) He has a wonderful girlfriend named Maria, who is really cute and a great person. If I ever find another girlfriend, I hope she is as cool as Maria.
Keith isn't as laid back as Jordan. He likes to have fun and joke. He is VERY opinionated though, and he doesn't like to budge on his stances, but he's still my friend, so I gotta back him up. He has a fiancee named Sam who is also wicked cool, and I think they'll be very happy together for the rest of their lives.
Kyle is engaged to another one of my best friends, Robin. I graduated with Robin, and dated her best friend for a couple of years in high school...now neither one of us can stand her. Kyle is a trip, let me tell you. I think he has a slight drinking problem, but I also think he's a couple fries short of a happy meal ;-) Robin is freakin' awesome. She is so much fun. I would like my wife to be a cross between Jordan's girlfriend Maria, and Robin.
Ben is the only other roommate who is single. He was engaged once, but she totally screwed him over and shacked up with some other guy. It was probably the best thing that ever happened to him. He could easily get another girl, but seems to have a few committment issues. Who could blame him? He's pretty happy go lucky, and he's always laughing, even at his own jokes. That pretty much covers my closest friends, tomorrow I'll introduce the fam and a few other friends.
Eric is a pretty down to Earth person. He is very laid back, and has alot of self discipline. He is in the National Guard, and is nursing school, so he has a pretty full plate. In our home games, I would say he is my biggest nemesis. He has busted me countless times, but most of them involve him drawing out on me.
Now on to the important stuff...poker. Won about $52 bucks tonight on Party playing .5-1.oo tables. Running pretty good and playing pretty decent too. Played 2 $10+1 sit n go's on Ultimate Bet and didn't place in either. First one had AA, flop was 8 2 J, I bet the pot and the other guy raised all in. I called and he showed J 9 for a pair of jacks. The turn was a Q, and the river was a 10. Thus giving him the straight and putting me down to 100 chips. I was pretty much screwed after that. In the second one, got down to 3, and I made a stupid play with A 5 and that was that. So I'm still up on the night about $30, but it's a little frustrating. I might play one more after this tourney I'm in.
I signed up on Bodog.com poker the other day, and they sent me an e-mail saying I was eligible for a freeroll for new players tonight, so I'm playing in that. There were 17 people, and top 3 get paid, so we'll see how I do.
Well, I think that's all for now. I'll probably try to post some pictures on here soon. Hopefully these things won't be as long after I finish introducing the people in my life. Until tomorrow, God bless.
P.s. I'm going to try to post one of my favorite quotes each day if I remember...so here is today's.
"If you wake up tomorrow and you're still breathing, be thankful. You get another chance."
