Shocker

Yes, I decided to update my blog two days in a row. A total shocker to me too. I thought that as long as I had some time on my hands I would go ahead and give my blog the updating attention that it deserves. I mean, I have neglected it quite a bit in the last few months. So here it goes...

Things have been quiet for me since the election. I have been spending time with my family and friends before moving on to the next phase of my life. It was nice to have some time with my relatives in Maryland and New Jersey before coming back home to Harrison. I was able to spend some time with my cousin Kevin and ride around with him in his sweet Matco tool truck. He only has one rule on the truck - no farting! Well to be more specific, the rule is actually that nothing may come out of your ass while you are on the truck. For instance, things can go into your ass, but once there they must stay. Nothing comes out. If you do fail to follow the one rule, then you are warned - ONCE and only once. After that if you break the rule you are charged a hazardous materials fee of $10 (which I think is pretty reasonable really when you stop to consider the pain inflicted on others when you fart) and then Kevin charges you tax on that fee. A gas tax you could call it :)

We had a good Thanksgiving here in Arkansas. Everyone got stuffed like a turkey at, well, Thanksgiving.

I've been playing poker a lot as of late. I'm preparing to make a run at going pro. Yes, many have counseled me against it, but you only live once and I am ready for the challenge. I was talking with my cousin Seth the other day (he has the poker bug too) and he just won his way into a money poker tournament from a freeroll (a tournament where you don't have to pay to play). Go Seth! He and I are planning to study together to get ready to play in the pro ranks starting sometime next year. We hope to make a run at the 2006 World Series of Poker (but if we win our way into a free spot in the 2005 WSOP then we give that a shot too).

The other night we had a poker game here at Mom and Dad's house> Consisting of me and my sisters - Mary Catherine, Melody, and Emily, my brother-in-law Eric and my friend Ben. We started around 9pm and finished at 4am! I won, of course ;)

Well, that's all for now. I'll be back again soon with more (or less).

Remember...
Be Good
And if you can't
Then at least be good at it ;)
