The bird bite
While I am post pics, might as well show you the bird, and the damage he did to me....
the bite was on Thursday, July 21st.. I took the picture of my injury on Tuesday, July 25th, 4 days later..
the bite was on Thursday, July 21st.. I took the picture of my injury on Tuesday, July 25th, 4 days later..
So, I'm driving along...
... minding my own business... on my way to my parents house, which I am house sitting til tomorrow, and lo and behold...
This happened about 3pm.. I finally got to the house about 4:45... was on the scene for an hour and a half.... now, this big ass truck, which lost its brakes.. plowed thru a guard rail while bouncing off cars on his left.... I was the last car to be hit... he just tapped me...
I was sitting in traffic... heard a God awful noise.. looked in my rearview mirror.. and what I saw was just like out of a John Woo movie.. a big ass out of control 18 wheeler plowing thru the traffic behind me, about to run up and over my car, crushing it, and me, in the process... I had about 4 feet between me and the car in front of me, and about 2-3 seconds to act... I moved over to the left as far as I could, not caring if I hit the vehicle that was there... and went foward at the same time.. I think this saved me from any serious injury.. as he would have rearended me for sure.. as you can see.. the damage was to the passenger side rear... I forgot to mention.. during those 2-3 seconds I had to act.. my asshole closed so tight a pin would not be able to pass thru, AND my life passed before me.. in a flash...
One of the other folks that got hit, had a camera and promised to email me the pics.. hopefully they will, and I can post those as well.....
I am not hurt, as yet... Ill prolly be pretty sore tomorrow tho, as I am sure every muscle in my body tighten up in anticipation of death.
peace

All Star Idiots if you ask me
Big Brother All Stars, so far, has been dominated by the Season 6 Alliance... due mainly to the idiotic strategies of most of the other housemates.
The SO6 alliance of James, Janelle, Kaysar, and Howie are all strutting around like a rooster in a hen house... thinking they have such strength... when they actually don't, but, apparently, I am the only one that realizes this, and I am not playing the game...
Every time they win HOH, they lose a vote in the elimination process.. they only get three...
The other players in the game, need to stop screwing around and start eliminating this group of 4 obnoxious people...
Marcellus(sp) really ticked me off by eliminating Diane from the HOH competition, instead of Kaysar or Janelle... and Janelle ended up winning it....
I am pretty sure the George will be nominated again.. and if so, he will prolly be gone, no matter who goes up with him...
The smart thing for Janelle to do would be to nominate George and Kaysar, as neither of them will be able to compete in the Veto Competition, due to last weeks competition... ( they both chose to give it up in order to win the current one, George ended up winning it, and took himself off the block ) but, she won't nominate Kaysar, because she is an idiot....
I also watched "Who Wants to be a Superhero" last night and found myself entertained.... was not as cheesey as I thought... these people are less intelligent than the Big Brother people tho... the show is about the human qualities of a super hero, ie, character, integrity, honesty, etc...... 2 heroes were eliminated in the first episode...
Planning a trip to vegas Sept 4 thru the 6th..... no fucking off this time and not booking when i should....

Taylor Ware rocks!!!
ok, last post described a little bit how I've been trying to claim 50 bucks from Absolute Poker by accumulating 10mil in play chips... I was at 9.999 +- a few chips.. and managed to get down to 7.999 +- a few chips... and back up to 9.8
talk about frustrating.... I just keep reminding myself...
1) took awhile to break the 10k milestone
2) took awhile to break the 100k milestone
3) took awhile to break the 1mil milestone..
4) etc.. for 2 mil, 5 mil, 8mil, 9mil..
I was stuck at 6 or 7 mil for a long time... then jumped up to 9 mil rather quickly and now am back in the lose more than I win phase of this free 50 dollar attempt..
I seem to do better playing the 25k or 10k sng's than I do the 100k sng's, which is how I inched my way back up over the 9mil mark... so, i think i will continue with those until i get enuff so that even a 3rd place finish in a 100k sng will put me over... since I'm math challenged tho.. this might not be that easy..
kk.. 3rd pays 180k sng costs 100k plus 10k entry.. what do i need to have before I buy-in, to ensure passing 10mil with a 3rd place finish...
9.30 me thinks...
-1.10
leaves
8.20 plus 1.8, gives 10 woo hoo i'm so good at math!!!!
well, i got 9.8 right now... so, after work today then...
Saw Pirates of the C. yesterday... jack not as quirky, will turner not as swashbuckly, lizabeeth not as innocent.... still, not too bad... I enjoyed it...

The Hanlans are no more..
well.. I've read several of the trip reports, and how you people managed to have so much fun in Vegas, without me being there, is beyond me... I suppose, it is possible tho.. ;)
Im still playing with play money on Absolute... they give a 50 dollar prize to any and all who manage to build their play money up to 10 million chips.. and I am currently at 9.7 million.. and most likely will get the 10 million before the weekend is out.... almost had it today.. but, you know how that variance works.. no sense me whining about it....
Ok, Ill whine... I was at 9.9 mil.. fired up 2 100k SNG's, and only needed at least a second place finish or 2 thirds... I bubbled on both of them... KK running into AA.. JJ into QQ ad naseum...... over and over and over....
Still trying the Mansionpoker.net thing as well.... that is a crap shoot for sure... altho, the 4:30 cst satellite holds promise as no one stays awake, or bothers to wake up for it... 1000 people sign up, and my guess is 200 are actually there playing... I've made it into the top 40 several times.. and top 20 twice.... need to finish 9 or better to advance... my best finish was 12th..... maybe next time....
peace
( I think the Austin bloggers should plan a trip to eithre Winstar or Coushatta )
(( Winstar is closer by about 2 hours... ))
