witchdoctor0 is a joke

I played in a qualifier for Daniel Negreanu's protege thing tonight. There were 92 people to start, and there is only one prize. If you come in first place, you move on to an 8 person tournament. Everyone in that tournament gets a set of poker chips, but first place goes on to the final live tournament.

I got down to the final three, and I had the chip lead. Then, in the span of about 6 hands, this withdoctor0 fool beats me with AT against my AJ and A2 against my AK. I am out, and he's left with 100k stack (against the other guy with 30k). It was such a friggin joke. I played better than either of them, and he hits twice with dominated hands. The guy deserves absolutely nothing. Complete joke.

Netflix dream

I had the strangest dream last night. I imagine it was partially due to the fact that I had two movies out from Netflix that needed to be returned. We had already watched them, but I forgot to return them yesterday.

Anyway.. I was going to a "friends" house for a party. It was going to be a huge bash, but it was still early in the day when I went over there, so people were just hanging out. I didn't actually recognize any of these people who were my friends, except one of them was Brad from the Real World San Diego. They were just getting stuff ready for the party, and I remembered that I had two Netflix movies in my backpack that I needed to mail. I asked one of the guys who lived in the house if there was a mailbox nearby. I described the kind of mailbox I was looking for, as if there would be some misunderstanding. He said yes, there was one at the corner, and he would show me. We went outside, and I could see it down the block, but he walked with me anyway. When we go to the corner, the mailbox was on the opposite corner, so we had to cross both streets. This is when I noticed that we did not have shoes on.. it was a very hot day, and the street was newly laid blacktop. It looked like it was a million degrees. We ran across the street very quickly, taking big jumps to touch the street as little as possible. When we got to the other corner, the grass felt so cool on our feet. This is where it gets strange. As I am about to drop my movies in the mailbox, my "friend" says, "Wait. Those aren't due yet. You shouldn't send them now. You should wait a couple days." It made sense to me, but then I said "But what will I do with them for the next couple days? I don't want to carry them." And then he says "Well, I can just eat them for you." And he takes one of the DVDs out of the envelope and puts it in his mouth and swallows it, without chewing! The DVD goes down and you can actually see it expand his throat as it goes down. As he is doing it, it all seems normal, and I am glad he is helping me. He is about to eat the second one when all of a sudden I realize.. Hey, THIS IS CRAZY! Why are you eating these DVDs? You're going to kill yourself! And then all of a sudden he realizes it too. This is crazy! So, I mail the second DVD and we run back to the house. We tell all of our other friends what happened, and we try to figure out what to do. Brad is being a real jerk and he just keeps saying that we are so stupid, and that the other guy is gonna die. Some of the other people say he should just not worry about it, that he will digest it a little and then crap it out. But I'm really upset. I think he'll probably die if he leaves it in his stomach.. PLUS, I need to return my DVD. So, I tell him that he should puke it up, RIGHT NOW, before his stomach acid ruins the DVD anymore. He agrees, and he sticks his finger way down his throat. As he pukes, you can see the DVD coming up his throat. It pops out of his mouth all covered in puke, but I clean it off and I am happy because I will mail it in and get a new movie to watch.

The END.

Illegal wiretapping

Here is a fun little story.

My favorite part of this whole issue is how these criminals justify their position because we're "at war". I quote:

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales insisted Monday that
President Bush is fully empowered to eavesdrop on Americans without warrants as part of the war on terror.
...
Gonzales said the fact that the nation is at war gives the president more powers than during peacetime.

Ah yes, the WAR ON TERROR. The president needs more power because we're at war. With Terror. The intellectual dishonesty is staggering. What he is saying is that as long as we're "at war" with terrorists, the president can do whatever he wants. So, kids.. when that day comes when all the bad guys are dead, then we can have our civil liberties back. You know, that utopian day when there is NO MORE TERROR.

What a load. I wish someone would just stand up in one of these hearings and call the guy what he is. Ask him when this war will be over. Ask him what the criteria will be to determine when these additional presidential powers will be unncessary. How safe do we have to be before the president should have to be bothered to obtain a warrant to eavesdrop on people. He's a liar, he's a criminal, and he's a traitor. He's sold the values of the country up the river for power. They all make me sick.

Muhammad cartoons

What a great story. How dare you draw a cartoon that draws any kind of association between my religion and violence?! In protest, I'm going to burn your shit down. This cartoon is an unforgivable insult that should be punishable by death. Irony much? Jackasses.
