The promised poker update and other stuff

Yesterday I was at home and was playing Counter-strike on my new monitor and Melissa asks me why I am not playing poker. I think about it for a minute and tell her that I don't know just not in the mood. I then decide that I should play some even thought I am not really in the mood and wound up losing 2.5 buy-ins. I was not getting overly good hands and when I did, people were just not paying off. Also I was playing a little loose, making plays that I probably shouldn't be making with my bankroll being a little short. Moral of the story kids is; don't gamble when your not in the mood.

I am still up like 4 buy ins for the month but I need to really start playing more if I want to move up. Tired of playing bullshit poker. I need to get motivated and I think that I accomplished that yesterday. I know it is like a re-occurring theme in my posts but I am determined to move up.

Last night I skipped Kung-Fu to go with Kevin out to Dallas to pick up a Mont Blanc pen for his business partner. We went to Northpark mall out in Dallas and I had not ever been there before. It is pretty elitist and I felt very poor lol. There were a lot of boutiques and specialized stores like Puma and Lucky Brand. Pretty cool mall but not worth the drive in my opinion, I can go to Hulen and it is right down the street.

After the mall we went to this place called Shuckers on Greenville. It is across the street from the Granada Theater where Melissa and I saw the Avett Brothers. It is a small seafood place, almost like a taco stand but with seafood. Kevin asked me what I liked and I didn't see much up there that I had tried before so he decided to get a bit of everything. So last night for the first time I ate, oysters on the half shell, and boiled craw fish. We also had a shrimp cocktail and a basket of fried shrimp and fish, one could call it a smorgasbord.

I am not a fan of getting my hands dirty, it really bothers me, borderline complex. I really hate eating stuff with my hands that will get them dirty, for that reason I do not eat fried chicken off of the bone, or ribs. I decided to try this whole dirty hand thing and see what happened. I think I used about half a roll of paper towels in the process of eating the craw fish. Kevin had a messed up thumb so I was having to do his was well, I don't mind saying that it probably looked a little gay.

The oysters were good, I was putting them on crackers with horseraddish and they were pretty tasty. The crawfish were good, but damn that is a lot of work. I was only eating the tail becuase the rest was too over the top for me. I will eat oysters again but the crawfish most likely not unless it is a special occasion.

I had a little sit down with my boss' boss about how I feel singled out. She listened to my arguements and agrees with my point of view. I am not sure what will happen now, but we will see. I didn't hear back from AT&T so I guess that isn't going to come to anything, back to the job search I go.

I think that is all for now.

Until later.
