My Blog, America and Poker

Several of my readers (yes, all 3 of you) have complained that my blog isn't very blog-like. I succumb to your demands. I shall post more often about the trivial challenges of my everyday life. You will join me in my uphill battle with employment, productivity and human interaction. As well as my bitter and oh so witty rants that you've all come to love.

There are certain things that put a smile on my face and make me have a slightly better day. This picture is an example of that.



It's good to see that the upcoming elections have captivated so many Digg users. But no matter how important or historic any election can be, it will always take a backseat to a 'That's what she said' joke. Good to see I'm not the only one.

Also, I had a very pleasant ending to my last Sit&Go of the day. We had been 3 handed for a while and the chip stacks were almost even the whole time. It was fucking exhausting, but then I managed to end it all in three hands.
