I guess I spend most of my time on 2p2 reading topics other than poker. I just find the poker parts too confusing to read. Always have. UTG +1 (200$) Villian, hero, OESD, CRAI, OOP, OTF. I ****ing hate abbreviations. I usually get frustrated by them and just drop it all and go to Las Vegas Lifestyles and read trip reports.
So it seems like everyone is in Vegas going crazy over March Madness. Not me, man! I don't give a **** about college sports. Never have. I guess it's a NYC thing. We don't have any schools that are any good at sports. I guess St. John's but that's about it. But even the Johnnies haven't been good since Chris Mullen and Mark Jackson were there. Yeah, pretty bad! So this whole MM thing (see what I did?) escapes me. Wake me when it's over and the NBA playoffs start.
Speaking of NBA. My Knicks got Phil Jackson to be their President! As a long suffering Knickerbockers fan, I am pretty pleased with this development. I am imagining the Knicks v. Heat in the Conference finals and the camera switching back and forth between Pat Riley and Phil Jackson as opponents. You know that would be cool! Come on, you know it would be!
I'm also a long suffering New York Jets fan. I think their GM Idzik is horrible. He didn't make an offer on Revis and let him go to the ****ing Pats!!! The ****ing Pats have Revis!!! It is truly a dark time. I don't see them making any inspiring moves this off season. Hopefully Geno can pull himself together and have a good year this season. It would be great if they got some good targets for him. How about DeSean Jackson? But football is far away. However spring is in the air and pretty soon baseball will be back.
Yankees! I can't wait for baseball to start! Excited to see Tanaka pitch. Not so excited about the whole drawn out Jeter victory lap that will surely happen this year. Don't get me wrong, I love Jeter. But I can really do without the fanfare and countdown to his retirement. I would prefer if they just announce their retirement at the end of the season without all of the hoopla. Sucks that he is retiring. I am the same age as Jeter. Makes me feel old. Also, I haven't accomplished **** in my career. Makes me feel like a failure....**** you Jeter!
I hate hockey. I can't follow the ****ing puck. So **** that ****.
So that's my sports rant...
Current Events:
Russia and the Ukraine crisis. Seems to me like the Crimeans want to be part of Russia and not Ukraine. Why not let them go? We (USA) should stay out of it. I really like how Putin zinged Obama when he pointed out how all of a sudden we care about international law. Drone strikes in Pakistan? Invasion of Iraq? Oh, that ****'s cool cuz we're the good guys!
****ing hate politics!
Don't care for the coverage of the missing Malaysian plane. Cliffs: Plane went missing. No one knows where it is or what happened. Period. That's it! Yet...we get days and days of endless coverage and speculation. **** that noize!
I listened to Amy Winehouse this morning. I almost cried listening. She was such an amazing talent. So sad that she died the way she did. Nowadays there is so much soul-less, plastic garbage out there. Amy was different. Almost not of this time. Her voice and vulnerability was as touching to me as any work of art. I hope she is at peace.
