Okay...

Yesterday's post was pretty depressing, but something topped that today when I witnessed the ultimate destruction and embarassment of the Dallas Cowboys this afternoon to the Eagles. I've almost never been more stunned in my life during a football game at how awful they played, they didn't even care it seemed that the playoffs were on the line! I'm never betting on them again. It's over Dallas, you and I are through. I still like Romo, but I now hate the Cowboys. Yeah, I said it. You suck.

I don't know if I mentioned it on this blog before but I had been watching Death Note a lot lately and I think I'm going to buy the live action movie with the gift card I got for x-mas if I can find it. Until then though I'm starting to watch Serei no Moribito on animecrazy.net for awhile, up to episode 11 so far...

Disgusted...

with myself for letting our apartment get so god damn filthy.

As I write from my living room couch there are dirty plates sitting to my left, newspapers all over the floor, shoes everywhere, emtpy cig packs at every turn and don't even get me started on the kitchen or bathrooms...let's just say that I will be throwing some things away that have been "growing" on me the past couple weeks rather than washing them because they are that digusting. I have probably around three or four bags of trash to put out and Hannah is just sitting here next to me probably thinking about how much of a slob I've been this year. I've just grown kind of numb to everything lately and so has Billy. It's like we're both trying to avoid responsibilities at the moment.

I ended up not going to see a movie afterall this year around Christmas, mainly due to lack of time, sleep, and money honestly. I have so many bills to pay and working two jobs is already starting to wear on me a bit even though it's just been two weeks so far and I'm supposed to do this for at least six more months! Its really cut into my poker time as I expected to happen but even now when I have some time off I just find myself too tired to even play for an hour. I'd rather veg out on GTA4, the pool game in particular is addicting. I love videogames and I hate to admit it but I've noticed that in the past few years whenever I would lock myself away to play videogames for hours on end it usually means one and one thing only: I'm trying to ignore something that's more important. In this case, for right now I think I've been avoiding the cleaning, the bills, the everything that's so damn depressing that I've just sorta zoned in on GTA4 lately as a way to "get away" from it all. It makes perfect sense since I don't smoke weed or cigs, nor do I drink myself to sleep-I just play games (or eat) to get the same effect. I don't think I get like that all that easily but I know that I'm incredibly stressed right now, and I don't know how it started. It's probably a good thing James and Thinh aren't in town right now or I'd be hanging out with one of them instead of doing some proper cleaning or doing laundry or whatever else I know I should be taking care of because I just don't feel like doing ANYTHING lately and that's why everything is so damn filthy and I can't stand myself for letting this happen but I'm so tired all the time, I don't drink coffee or energy drinks but I'm finding myself having both a lot lately just to do something.

Here's to a better year in 2009 in case I don't post again before then. *cheers*

Merry X-Mas!

Happy Holidays! I hope you all had a good Jesus Birthday and have given each other nice things and all that this year. Since my last post a lot has come up including my going back to Target to work the truck in the mornings but I'm still with the hotel too so hopefully the dual-workload pays off and I'll be able to save a lot more money for the Austin trip in Feb. and for the eventual move to the ABQ later this summer. I had a nice dinner today with family and I'm thinking about seeing a movie tonight, probably Valkarie or however that's spelled but I have to go in to work at 3am tomorrow so maybe I should sleep here pretty soon...

Addicted...

...to Lady GaGa's "Poker Face" and "Let's Dance" songs. I've been listening to "Let's Dance" almost every day, especially on the radio but I didn't know who it was until I was over at James's and we looked it up and also found her "Poker Face" song which sounded absolutely horrible the first time we listened to it but after a few more listens it actually became hilariously addicting. Even her video is awesome and I usually hate this type of pop dreck but it's so damn catchy. I thought she was hispanic because of her voice for some reason but turns out she's German I think. She reminds me of what Christina Aguilera and Gwen Stefani would look like if they could've had a baby together. I'm almost embrassingly addicted to some of the more catchy pop songs I hear on Top 40 radio these days but I'll make no apologies for it like I might have done if say, I was 16 or 17 again. I just don't care anymore, if it sounds good, and it's got a fun hook then I'm listening to it. I don't care if it's Akon or even *gasp*, Ms. B. Spears! Don't get me wrong though, I still like listening to quality music but you can't go wrong with a quick fix every now and then!

Latin America Poker Tour News

"As Dr. Pauly first reported here, something foul was going on at the LAPT Nuevo Vallarta in Mexico this weekend and it didn't have anything to do with digestive issues after eating food there, although for players caught up in the mix, it probably left a similar feeling in their collective stomachs.

While the exact reasons have yet to trickle out, the basic gist is late during Day 1 play, Mexican gaming officials made an unexpected decision to revoke the LAPT's gaming license. Play was suspended and eventually canceled.

In related news, just adding "Mexican" before any combination of words makes it sound way shadier, doesn't it? Mexican gaming officials. Mexican pharmaceutical doctors. Mexican birthday cake."

I love WickedChops so much it's probably making me fat.
