.....the wait is over.

The Day I Lost Control

Props to Handsome Gav for forwarding me on this pic entitled "the day I lost control". lol


My plans to dress as Buckethead for Halloween were rightly scuppered last Friday. I arrived into town circa 16:30 and made my way up to Funny Biz to grab the Michael Myers mask. I really should have copped that on Halloween evening costume shops will be......busy. Busy is one thing, but a queue from the front door all the way around to Grafton Street is another matter. I decided to cut it loose after I had a vision of queuing like a thick for ages only to be told "we're sold out of Micheal Myers masks!". In the end I donned Buck's motorbike helmet and showed up at Dalyer's Halloween party as "The Stig". An awesome call by Buck which got me many lol's, and unsettled some of the anally retentives who spent hours (the fools) on their costumes only to be upstaged by someone wearing a motorbike helmet....ya gotta laugh. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me so no pics from what was a great night.

The week's house games of poker were of a very good standard, made a few quid here and there, no big win but played well and had a good laugh....isn't that what it's all about.... Online poker has been up and down, fingers crossed the weekend's efforts are successful.

Obama scoops the win in the U.S. elections. Here's hoping that Trent ain't releasing "Capital O" anytime soon.

Halloween

Ah yes, one of my favourite times of year is upon us again. The last chance to relax before the most hectic time of the year kicks in. So in the spirit of Halloween I got a horror tale for ya:

I am dealt 10(H) 10 (S)
I go all in.

Folk Hero goes all in.
He's got 7 (C) 7 (D)

Flop: Q (C) 5 (H) 2 (C)

Me: "Ah yeah, here we go! Here comes the flush, watch!"

Turn: 8 (C)

(and then the final insult...the 10 I'm seeking to complete my triple)

River: 10 (C)

(.....is also the club FH needs to complete his flush)

In the words of Paul Brennan, "FOR GOD'S SAKE!".

Gonna try organise my costume for later once I finish work. This should be fun, trying to obtain an empty KFC bucket, a wig and a Michael Myers mask........

Return of The Great Destroyer

Cool pic of NIN rocking out to Ghosts 31 on their latest tour.

We had an impromptu game last night, which was one of the quickest kills I've dished out in a long time. We started around 20:40 and I had the thing won before 22:30. I was getting a great run of cards and everything fell into place. Can't wait for the game tomorrow where hopefully my current run of luck will continue. Goodbye: Folk Hero, welcome back: The Great Destroyer. After weeks of various obsticles getting in my way the laptop finally looks like it's back in the game. I loaded it up with a great edition of XP called "Tiny XP". The awesome thing about this version is that it comes preloaded with every device driver needed for pretty much any laptop/pc. So no countless hours of me scowering the internet looking for drivers. I got pwned at the weekend attempting to boost my Betdaq account. After last night's return to form I'll be getting my ass online later in an effort to exact some revenge for the weekend's losses.

Bad idea no. 4468: Taking frozen sausages, nuking them for 5 mins then putting them into a deep fat fryer....

Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end.....

Great game of poker tonight which saw everyone step into the spotlight at one point or another. I got pwned a few times but refused to die so ended up throwing a total of €25 (entry + 3 futile rebuys) into the pot to no avail. I managed to double Colly up twice which set him on the road to victory (and secured my place on the Skid Row Express). Tomorrow I return to BetDaq for this month's online crusade. Up for work in 3 hours.....dayumm.

Genius:

it's coming.....

Official Chinese Democracy title track....and it kicks ass...moreso than any previous leaked version.....

Lol....so now on the 24th November I wont be as depressed at turning 30 years of age (shudder) cos I'll be rocking out to the greatest album ever. Word.

OMFG!!!!
