I'm Stupid.

I went to best buy yesterday to pick up a cord so i can hook my ipod up in my car and got the wrong cord. Now that's not that big of a deal or very stupid but let me tell you what cord i got instead of the one i needed. The cord that i needed was the itrip adapter that has a headphone jack on it that hooks into your ipod so you can listen through your car. The cord is 80 bucks at best buy which is ridiculous so i decided to get a cd adapter for your car which is the same thing but only 20 bucks. Here is the cord that i bought for a quarter of the price-


Same cord for 2o bucks not bad right? Well i start driving home and realize that i don't have a tape player in my car haha. In my defense i had an explorer before my mustang that had the exact same looking factory CD player but had a tape player in it, but still how dumb am i haha?
Also while i was there i bought another xbox controller but got the wrong color. Here is everything that i picked up while there along with the very DISAPPOINTING movie Super bad. I don't know if it was over hyped and i was thinking it was going to be some amazingly funny movie but i just didn't think it was funny. It had a few funny parts here and there but for the most part it was pretty lame. If you have an xbox i definitely recommend getting call of duty 4. I usually dont really like these types of games but this is one of the best games ive played in a while.

I also attempted to go to the dmv again to try and pass the license test again but forgot where it was at so i just gave up and went to play poker. I went to the Wynn to play some 5/10 but ended up sitting on the waiting list for about 2 hours and when i finally sat down they were playing with everyone straddling. I ended up playing for about 20 minutes before finally leaving because i wasn't in the mood to play 10/20, which is pretty much what it was. I still felt like playing after i left there so i decided to head out to Red Rock which is close to our apartment but I've never been to their poker room. I heard they usually have a 5/10 game going but of course the night i show up they have nothing but 2/5 with a 1k cap. This was probably the softest 2/5 game i have ever seen and it was really weird to see how different the game was from down on the strip. I only stayed for a few hours but ended up making about 600 which wasn't bad because i really didn't have any cards the whole time. Anyways that's what I've been up to the past few days, I'm about to head to the Wynn so check back later and I'm out.

Ship the 2008 world series!!!!!!



The tigers just pulled off another sick deal today and now their line up is absolutely sick. I guess the only real question for the 2008 season is who the tigers will have to beat in the world series. Today they picked up dontrelle willis who is a beast and miguel cabrera who when healthy is one of the best players in the game. The tigers have by far had the best off season by picking up these two along with edgar renteria and jacque jones and im pretty sure you can lock up the world series title right now. Here is just a guess of what the line up will look like:

1.Granderson
2.Polanco
3.Sheffield
4.Ordonez
5.Cabrera = SICK
6.Guillen
7.Rodriguez
8.Renteria
9.Inge


After a few weeks in michigan and new york i am finally back in vegas. I was looking forward to getting off the plane and out of the freezing weather of ny/michigan but to my disgust it was freezing. I forgot how cold it gets here at night around this time of year and its really not any different than michigan weather except theres no snow. The turning stone deep stacks tournament didnt really go to well and i think i lost like 800 overall on the trip. I did manage to cash in 2 of the 4 tournaments i played in but not for anything significant. It was a pretty nice change of scenery from vegas to go back to michigan to see friends and family but after being there for a few weeks i was getting the itch to get back out here. Although it actually feels like im coming out here for vacation because im only going to be here a few weeks before heading back again for christmas and my 24th birthday, im ancient.

I played a decent amount of poker while i was home and was able to make around 3k from grinding online. This wouldnt be that big of a deal if i was playing my regular 5/10 but i was playing 1/2 and a little 2/4 haha. I have really been slacking online/not playing much since moving to vegas so i was stripped of my supernova status http://www.pokerstars.com/vip/?utm_id=1 on stars.So i decided im going to 6 table 2/4 until i can get back to supernova status. I currently have 90,450 vpp points so i figure if i just put in like 2 to 3 hours a day of 6 tabling i should be able to get to 100,000 by the time i have to head home for xmas. It doesnt really seem like a big deal to be supernova but i havent even reached platinum status in like 5 months and that means im not getting enough time in online. Im currently a gold star(gross) which is pretty pathetic for someone who plays poker for a living.

Anyways i just wanted to give you a quick shout on what ive been up to lately and pretty much brag about the tigers. I just got back last night so i have some running around to do but i might play a little poker later so check back to see how that went and im out.
