Poker with the Devil

I can still not for the life of me understand or remember why I started to play poker. Maybe it was the large amounts of money that I was going to make or the possible recognition from friends that led me to hope that I too could quickly become a pro.

Instead this damned game has on several times been close to giving me a gut wrenching heart-attack, it is directly responsible that my keyboard isn't fully functional anymore and there is a gash in the wall that magically appeared after a bad beat. A bad beat for those who isn't aware with the term is when you are inches from a mountain of wonderful money and instead the computer spits you in the face while twisting your balls. Honest to god it does. You almost feel like puking. Your opponent obviously all of the sudden sold his soul to the devil in order to take home the pot.

The kink is though.. In total I have invested about 250 dollars in learning the game of no limit hold'em poker. When I lose, to me a mind numbingly and sickening bad beat, I lose at most around maybe 30 dollars. When my friends who actually does this for living has a really bad beat they lose thousands dollars.

So what I love to do is consistently share my bad beat stories with my poker playing buddies just to let them know that they are not alone. That there are hobby players out there like myself who understand them fully. They try to point out that I only lose a fraction of their loss but I know better than to listen to them. I don't really care when they lose their money.. If they would have lost my money I would have been furious!

So if your interested in learning texas no limit holdem I'm available for lessons for the meager price of 99$ a lesson. You have to give some to get some. Write that down.

Suprise!

I'll update you on the Valborg festivities tomorrow! Here is a great little cartoon in the meanwhile. Signing out!

The Peaceful Warrior

Just saw a wonderful movie. Found the trailer on apple trailers ages ago and right away felt that this was a movie that I had to see. But the movie never made to it Swedish theaters and not even to the video stores, so I just sort of forgot about the whole thing.

Then yesterday I was browsing through new movies on Pirate Bay and there it was.. I couldn't believe it. Popped it for download and just now shared it with A. Who just happened to fall asleep during it.. I hope that she was just exhausted because I loved the movie.

It shows you how to live in the moment. Not to think of the outcome and not to be guided by the past. How there is never not anything happening. To get rid of all the garbage that clouds your mind. It made me think. More than usual.. Why I desire the things I want.

If you don't like the thinking part you can still see the movie because of the action, hot girls and guys grinding and all the mad hip hop beats. But they are a bit into the movie.. So listen to the stuff they are saying just for a laugh and then there is the big reward with tits and ass. I promise! Tits and ass for the whole family.

A fool proof plan

Hahaha! I should really be studying now but.. Just had to share.

Steve: If she starts getting mad at you for cheating, just take your dick out and stick it in her mouth... that'll either give her something useful to do with her mouth, or give her something else to be angry about and maybe forget about the whole "you cheating" thing.
Blake: I dunno...
-On shaky plans

By the way! Didn't mean tattoos on the last post. I'll explain the whole thing tomorrow. I hate the SWOT model (current school assignment). Have to get done.. You're busting my balls here. Balls, busting them.

Eightball

I've done quite a few things that have shocked people while I was drunk but this time at least I made the decision when I was sober. I will admit that I went through with the decision while very intoxicated though. There is courage in Absolut Kurant, Apple Smirnoff and Sprite.

I wont say what I have done but I can say that this post's picture could be a clue. And the best thing is that I don't regret a thing. Wentworth Miller ain't got shit on me.

I would not mess with her..

Ok.. let me draw you a picture. Its the end of the month. You're a bit late on the rent and suddenly you hear a loud knocking on your chamber door. Who could it be pray tell? Its the no other than the Landlord.

Even got a bit poetic there! But still, the feeling you want is fear, pure terrifying fear.

Just watch the clip.. You will cry, laugh and drift into a catatonic state. You'll love it.

LP

Guess who is coming to town!? And guess who forgot to buy tickets.. Well to get back to my last post I actually kept postponing buying them until the tickets suddenly were sold out. So now I will have to get them at a scalper at twice the price but I don't care cause I'm going. I'm going and I'm going to rock out with Linkin Park. Don't even care if I have to go alone. I'll be everyone in the audience new best friend and the band will dedicate the concert to me. I will stage dive naked while singing "numb" together with Chester on an extra microphone. On the next concert the band will sell t-shirts with my face on it. This is how crazy it will get. Just to give you a heads-up.

And if you haven't heard it.. Their new song What I've Done is sweet. Shibby!

And I hope you like the little before and after of the band! So if you look like Chester used to know that you still have a chance.

A new beginning?

Well.. I'm basically sick and tired of being sick and tired without a single reason. So, what to do? The first thing is that I''m going to share my plan with anyone interested enough to listen and have them bust my balls like a demon from hell if I don't follow my own new creed. And I heard that if you share your plan with others the success rate increases dramatically but failure is not an option here.

With any problem you have to figure out a reasonable solution and commit yourself to go through with that solution all the way. No half measures god dammit. In order to gain something, something of equal value must be sacrificed. If you want more money, work more. If you want to get bigger, train harder. Very few things here in life is free and those that are should be cherished.

So first things first. I will appreciate those that are close to me and make sure that they know how much I appreciate them. Maybe not in words because I feel that actions speak a lot louder.

I will have a dramatic decrease of female encounters. I have to stop meeting women in order to confirm that I'm desired. I'm not sure if I'm looking for something but now I know at least what I don't want. From now on its just fun gaming! I want to get back to the old me where I just loved talking to everyone around me.

Third.. No more shortcuts in life. I often blame not being able to do much because of school and at intervals this is very true. But in those periods in between I will get of my lazy ass and get things done. I will start to train again as I know how great I feel from everything that comes from that part of my life. I will start more side projects in order to get money to fund this summer. I want to travel through Europe but I want to have a good friend to go with me. Going alone can be great but I want to share this with someone. And the last short-cut is my goddamn room. I've been talking about fixing it up for months now but its time to really make it mine and make/keep it look just awesome.

Finally I want to say thanks. Thank you for giving me this life because it has infinite potential and all I have to do is get of my ass and find fulfillment. I my life isn't what I want it to be then I will change it. Those steps above are the first many to come.

Out of this world

Yesterday was on of those days which makes you glad just to be a part of this wonderful world!

It all started out like a normal Thursday with some beers and Wii gaming at F's place and ended in bliss with free hamburgers. In the middle of an exciting SSX run with mad flailing we got the call that would change our night. A friend of ours that we had planned to meet up with first broke the news to us that he couldn't go out that night BUT! But he had three bottles of champagne waiting for us at Plaza (a million thanks P!). The catch was though that we had to get there in 45 minutes but with the proper encouragement (liqueur) I and F can accomplish anything. So we downed a couple of shots and threw ourselves in a cab that had taken a couple racing lessons, but we didn't mind.

After that everything got a bit blurred.. But there were some highlights!

Stockholm's biggest gay persona aka Tito explained just how horny he was and how F had a shot at him. Love Tito but he gets a bit profuse when intoxicated. Something that F experienced!

A former world and Olympic wrestling champion told me that we ought to hang out more.

Got free hamburgers at McDonalds due to inspiration from O. If he can do it I can do it.

Had a girl apologize that she couldn't go home with me. I didn't want her to. Or did I? Naaaah!

Got two hours of sleep before I went to pick up my cousin at the train station!

And guess what.. Tonight is going to get even more crazy!

Deathgrip

Forgot to mention a beautiful little piece of info from the party bonanza!

It was when J got into a fight. It was really unnecessary but the whole thing was so funny that I just had to mention it.

Me and J were heading back to Berns when some dude made some random remark at J. Instead of dropping it J made his stand and took use of his Deathgaze which didn't seem to do much on his assailant which kept dropping remarks. So J opted for the much feared Deathgrip and grabbed the guy by his collar at arms length and continued with the Deathstare. Still the assailant wouldn't crumble and instead he went to attack.

The next part was a bit blurry since I was terribly drunk and my conviction is always that a clean fight one on one should stay that way. So I stayed out of it but there seemed to be a draw. No I give J the victory simple on stature.

J would have made a great Spartan. More on Spartans tomorrow.

This will destroy my social life.

Or maybe it won't but it is still so cool!

F sent this to me so I can't take full credit but this site is absolutely incredible. You can see any show that you can think of basically and stream it directly to your computer. On top of that the site is full of movies!

This page will definitely be there for me to satisfy those few boring moments in my life.

Enjoy and thank me later.

Women.. Why won't you learn?

I seldom profess my views on women other than various positive statements at irregular intervals. I may have been known to to tease at times but sometimes out there someone has a message that just can't be ignored..

I won't say if this represents my own views but either way this is simply amazing.

Watch these two clips and write a little comment if you agree or not.

Women know your limits.

Women and cars.

Told you I would be back

Back from the dead! This weekend was full of recuperating and mental oblivion, but in the opposite order. As promised there was a major harbinger of party bonanza and not more than six hours after the exam was handed in the point of no return was long gone.

The highlight reel made its appearance again as I woke up in the morning naked with blasting music, facing the wrong side of the bed and finding an untouched hot dog laying directly on my keyboard. I put on the official "I'm hungover" cowboy hat, my aviator glasses and wrapped a small towel around my waist. Holding it tight with one hand and massaging the back of my head with the other as I took aim towards the kitchen.

Of course.. I had forgot that my roomies mom slept over so I gave her quite a scare when I barged into the kitchen growling and drinking directly from the sink with my interesting choice of clothing. But she knows how charming I usually am so I think that she still keeps me in highest regard.

An hour later when I met up with the guys to get something to eat and puzzle the night back together I quickly came to understand that the grey areas of the night before were a bit larger than I had expected.

The first hint came when the guys started to talk about new place called NEU. I asked where the club was and they gave me long confused look before explaining to me that we all were there last night. Great.. If I hadn't won all that money on roulette earlier that night I would have been so golden.

The second thing was when a cute girl suddenly stopped in her tracks and started to smile at me. Yeah.. we had talked all night last night and she wasn't even a faint memory but I pulled through and gave her a big hug. She probably understood that I didn't remember her name at least when I called her "Darling" for the third time but, cest la vié.

I have really started to love those hangover days when the guys take walks in the sun, just enjoying life and small surprises keep on popping up here and there.

BRB

Hey everyone! I'm writing my exam now and will be finished on Friday so chances are that it will be a bit slow here for a little while.

Don't worry.. After the exam I'll have a celebration party to tell you everything about and since I've been so bad at updating lately no juicy bits will be left out. I promise their will be juicy bits.

But I'm seriously thinking of pressing that special button on my keyboard for this exam.

Anger Management

Today I scared the hell out of alot of innocent people.

I was down in the subway, waiting for my ride and started to write a text message when my fingers decided to mess with me a bit. It was almost like they said "Ok guys! Max hasn't given us enough attention lately so lets give him a hint what happens if he doesn't start pampering us soon." and then is just said "plop".

My cellphone leaped into the air and I instinctively, out of reflex, tried to grab the phone while it still was in midair. But instead of catching the phone I managed to smack it really hard, which sent my little brick of a phone flying into the wall and exploding into so many pieces it was joke.. Again out instinct I let out a big "FUCK!" while doing little strangle movements with my hands.

Then I noticed that the whole station had been struck by a sudden complete silence and they were all glancing frightened looks at me, thinking that "there is guy who could do with a bit of counseling". I picked up the pieces of my ex-phone and got on my train.

The lesson to be learned here is that if you drop something don't fling it into a wall and yell profanities afterwards, as it will make people think that you are crazy.

Cape North

This summer is going to be absolutely awesome! Many things are already planned but this idea feels like it will be among those great summer memories for long time. I am going to enter the Cape North Parade.

I didn't know this before but it is illegal to have boat races in the Swedish Archipelago. So instead of calling the competition the Cape North Race it is called the Cape North Parade. Its just a parade! The only thing is that everyone in the parade start at the same time and everyone tries to get to the end of the parade like greased lightning. But its not a race. It is a parade.

The only thing is that I don't really have a boat.. Well I have a boat, but not one I could enter with without being laughed at. But this week there was a surprise! From nowhere I found out that my brother bougth a Jet ski for this summer! So I'm entering the Jet ski part of the parade!

This is the plan. The coolest guys and girls in Stockholm, or as I would like to call them "my crew", is coming out for a major party extravaganza on the island. But the day starts with that we all take the big boat and find a nice little place where they can see the race and start to warm up for the night. We open a couple of beers, have a nice lunch and do some swimming from the boat. Then as the parade approaches I get into my newly fitted Superman costume with an absolutely awesome cape. The cape is a really big part of my plan as I want it to flutter sweetly in the wind and not end up wrapping itself around my face so I crash into an island or something. As I see it, the competitors (not that it is a race) will be so in awe from my dedication and costume so I'll have an advantage from the start and secondly who can go faster on a Jet ski then Superman? Seriously, don't be silly and try telling someone otherwise. After I win the race we are going to have a party like the archipelago haven't seen for a decade! Its going to be one for the books.

The only thing now though is that I have to learn how to Jet ski. I'm really good at going in a straight line super fast, but tight corners isn't exactly my forte yet. Not a problem though! What I lack in skill and aptitude, my underdeveloped rational fear and wonderful cape will cover for. See you there!

What Would Tyler Durden Do?

Here comes another great finding from my Internet adventures!

This is where I get all the juicy gossip from around the world a couple of days earlier then our newspapers here in Sweden do. Every story usually comes with some cool pictures and the guy who writes the comments is absolutely wonderful. I think he takes after me..


A truly amazing site if you are just looking to kill an hour or two.

What Would Tyler Durden Do? WWTDD

You can fix my TV anytime

Its just not logical

Today I made a discovery. You can divide the world in two groups.

When a group of people go out on serious drinking binge it is the next day that separates the sheep from the wolfs. There are those who let their hungover be their master and "decides" to take it easy and there are those who go "Last night was awesome! God I'm hungover but tonight is going to get even crazier!".

I love the second ones! Personally I'm 50/50, but not that I chill half of the time and go crazy for the other half. Instead I'm "There ought to be a law against being this hungover" for first couple of hours when I wake up from my deep sleep. Then I start thinking of all the great stuff that happened last night and a little devil on my left shoulder starts whispering alluring incentives.

Its party time bitch.

Damn car

I'm so hungover.. And now I have to walk across town to get my car..

*Note to self*
Don't drive to the party.

ps: Scarlet Johansson is a fox
