Poker Night
Wave 395

So out of the three poker nights, I've come out ahead each night. I think I fall behind Justin in the winning of the most money. But I'm happy to show some streak of luck. I did lose well though. How can you lose well? Lets see, my straight 2,3 to richards flush 4,5. That is pretty good, considering my straight came on the river. Although, I still lost all my chips on the final hand to him. All in all it lead to be a very interesting night of poker. I was the leading chip holder for most of the last two rounds. I managed to give them all away. I'm good. First night where I haven't come up first but hey, there's a first time for everything. As richard so perfectly put it, "For John, it's a first time for everything," *referring to the fact I have a terrible memory*.
After the massive poker rounds, Justin showed me the progress on HRAH's site. I'm really looking forward to the final product. It will be a very awesome site, with sweet coding. I'm just hoping he and I can both get it done before school starts. It's the last thing I want on my mind with school starting. And to think, I had the design finished last august. I finally have gotten around to almost getting it up. I'm terrible. My goals have been obliterated. Well, at least they are getting filled slowly... one by one. Maybe some goals weren't meant to be fulfilled... Regardless, Justin has worked wonders with what I was able to throw in his direction and I thank him for his time, patience and effort.
The rest of the day really was not so eventful. I went to my dad's partner's house *Mike*. I helped him transfer some data from his old hard drive into his new computer hard drive. First time I've seen a hard drive that comes up as two drives in my computer. Oddly enough, I typed that last sentence saying the hard drive was partitioned. I knew you could partition a hard drive but didn't realize how it worked till just now. I'm thinking his hard drive was partitioned into two separate spaces which consequently made it look like there was two hard drives in his new computer. It all makes sense now, if that is what hard drive partioning does... makes more "imaginary" hard drives show up as separate drives in my computer. Anyways, it went rather fast. Mike insisted on giving me something for my time after numerous times of me telling him not to get me anything. He finally got me to choose between caribou and starbucks, obviously caribou, for a gift card he said he would get for me. That wasn't necessary because it only took 45 mins or so. I just like to do good things.
I went home and decided to go to sleep, but my actions surpassed my decisions. In other words, I didn't sleep. I talked online with Maria for awhile. She went to class and I played some gran turismo. I got oddly mad at losing a rally race I should've won five times in a row. On the last of the five races I ended up throwing my controller across the room, yelling, "****ing Son of a *****." I then went to my g-ma's house for lunch. Her food is fabuluous as it always is. Steve and I helped my g-pa with some odd tasks around the house.
I went home and Steve went to lifetime. I got my stuff gathered and went to the Y. The gym was closed. I knew this beforehand. I went to run. Can you believe it? I ran about 2 miles and all together got in about 3 miles distance wise *including walking*. That was good exercise for me. I haven't done that in awhile. I should do it more often. I went downstairs, the basketball lessons had ended. I asked one of the instructors if I could head in and just shoot a couple. They let me for a few mins. My shot was on! I was happy and went straight to work.
I did some pointless work on the website. It was more like, disconnecting computer speakers for no reason. No reason that I find out later that is. None of that makes any sense to a sane person reading it. In other words, I wasted my time at the clinic.
I went to the bank to meet Steve. We took out the savings bonds. I need to get them in the computer before school starts. Steve needs them just for tuition. It will be a chore getting them in but once it's all saved it will be very handy. Thanks Justin for the program.
My night drifted into the first couple paragraphs but not before I could have leftovers for dinner. I watched a little television somewhere in there. Something I don't do much anymore.
Well, it's late. I'm considering on buying books tomorrow. I have to work in the PM but I think if I go early in the morning I should be fine. I don't think I'm going to buy all of them... just some of them. Still no word for vet school. Starting to lose hope in all that. Maybe I was just not meant to be. Maybe I'm doing something terribly wrong with my life. Why is everything always maybe? Why is there why's? In the infamous words of Matthew, "I hate my life."
