New $5 and other randomness

This morning I was buying my breakfast and paid with cash which is kind of rare. I received my change and it had a new $5. It looks pretty crazy and the 5 on the back makes it look like Monopoly money. I am linking a photo.




It is Monday and I am working because I need Saturday off for sparring. I haven't worked on a Monday in a while, its just another day. I am leaving work dashing home to change and leaving immediately to get to Kung-Fu. Hopefully I will get to work on something new tonight. I miss the days where every class I was learning new techniques, now it is all about the small stuff. Tweaking little things to improve efficiency and generate the correct energy.

I played a little poker on Friday. It was a very swingy night, I was up a buy in then down 3 and then finally managed to make it back to +$4 for the session. I am not sure what the deal is but I hope this break even stretch is over soon. In the first 300 hands I had already gotten a few sick beats. I got all in with a set vs a higher set, flop two pair against a flush draw and the guy shoves and flush vs a better flush. Just kind of a cooler night over all.

Saturday night after I got off work Melissa and I met up with Renee, Amy, Matt, Chad, and Vic to go have some drinks. I had every intention of making it an early night and then all of the sudden I hear "LAST CALL." What the fuck, so much for an early night. It was a good time except for it being way the hell out in Arlington. I was drinking Killian's Irish Red for the holiday and I had a Jager Bomb. No hang over the next day or anything just a slight headache.

I am so tired of Canadian people calling to bitch about the price difference. We ship the merchandise from the US. You don't think that is expensive? We are all really happy that your dollar is finally worth something but come on eh. It is all I hear about all day. Your "gouging" us and we are really informed and blah blah blah. Please shut up and go play hockey.

Before this whole thing I didn't hate on Canadians. I really like hockey and think that they have some really cool things up there. I have friends who are Canadian from playing online video games (yea I know I am lame). This whole thing is rapidly changing my opinion about them though. This customer just told me that he could drive down but that would take too much time and wanted me to adjust the price. Piss off, if you want it for cheaper make the drive. If you see something at a store and its cheaper but you have to make a drive to get the lower price you make the drive or you pay more. Its not rocket science.

It is a long shot but I hope their dollar drops again so we don't get so many of these calls. That is really all for now.

Until later.
