RaQ-

My Brother Jay's Band RAQ is Playing at the Paradise in Boston
RAQ They have been getting great reviews of thier second album.

Kyndmusic.com -October 2006
"I’ve been rolling my tongue over certain phrases, trying to find the one that captures the essence of RAQ’s new album Ton These; tour-de-force, unstoppable, aural assault and so forth. The problem is that none of these clichés even come close to distilling the essence of this album.

Right out of the gate, with “Walking In Circles,” this Vermont quartet unleashes an unfettered rock fusion explosion. Chris Michetti’s guitar creates a roaring wall of bouncing sound while Greg Stukey and Jay Burwick’s rhythm section dance around the intricate keys of Todd Stoops and the vocals, breezy and anthemic at the same time; grab the listener by the ears and
shakes. It is the sound of a refreshing, if not roaring, blast of mountain air." read the rest here.

Tao of Poker: Pauly's Poker Blog: "Tilt and Flow

I'm mired deep into a macabre of a losing streak, stuck over $2K in the last two weeks. Poker is as fickle as the Northern Lights, but I'm not freaking out right now. The swings are bigger because I'm playing bigger stakes."

Stop reading my Blog right Now and go read the rest of Pauly's Post and see why he is The BEST POKER BLOGGER AROUND.

Hey y'all,

I don't know how many of you follow College Football. My co-worker's son is playing for Rice. He is having a GREAT year and has been nominated for the Biletnikoff Award. This is an award given to an Outstanding Wide Receiver. I don't think he is as well known as the two other candidates. If it isn't too much trouble, I would like everyone to vote for him. Here is the link. His name is Jarret Dillard. He is the first one listed. If feel you like it, you can forward this to your friends, too.

Being Sick Sucks Monkey Balls

Ok so running yourself ragged while you have a bad head/chest cold is not a good idea.

But free tickets on friday night to see the celtics get smoked by the knicks.
work a double on saturday and then get up at 8 am sunday to go to the Patriots game
makes for a long weekend.

While it was nice to see a Celtics game in person, I wish they could have lost by less than 25.
they are a young team. lots of promise but short term they are going to lose way more than they will win.

I went to My first and probably last patriots game of the year, Why well I work retail and
I have to work sundays in december :( .

It was nice to see the Patriots win against a good Team for a change.
Did the Pat's play well? Not really But Chicago's defense is probably the best in the league.
It was too bad to see Junior Seau Break his Arm, that looked real nasty and incase you didnt see it here it is.











Although i was against him signing with the pats he was fitting in real well and this is another big loss for the patriots. Hopefully he will heal up and not have any lasting effects from this
injury.

hopefully the train that is running over my head will stop soon.

tough Road ahead

Wow just looking at the patriots Old Uniforms gives me the willie's Lots of bad memories

to go along with those uni's.

The 86 superbowl the 1-15 season, so on and so forth.

The Bears are an Interesting team,
are they as strong as everyone thinks or are they just playing in an inferior conference???
The bears are awsome on defense but they are banged up and missing a few key players(mike Brown, Ricky manning Jr).
they score 40% of their points on defense so not turning the ball over is extremely important against the bears.

I think the pats will win by 14, 34-24 but it will be closer than most think. the spread is
3.5 point favorite and you get 3 for being at home s the game is in essence a pickem????
the Patriots should have thier way with the Bears by controlling the clock.
If the patriots win they are back in the drivers seat for a bye with denver losing on Turkey day.
and they really need to win to keep the distance on Miami and the jets who is looking better each week.

Pats bye 14, 34-24

poker has been Blah lately. Had some donk at a 6.50 sng tell me he had notes on me
and that him calling my ALLin with J4o was a good play on his part. because his notes told him so. Note made in his file and I will be looking to play with him again.

just banging around not making much progress on the Bankroll lately.
but I still enjoy playing which is the good part. Just wish the Roll would go up at a noticable rate
I feel like I play well but sometimes that isn't enough.
Maybe someday I will learn the secret.

4pm sat my buddy just called with Tix to the Pats- chicago game.
get to see the Patriots win in person.

best of craigslist : Dudes, don't shower/shave with your kitten...

I have this cat whom I found as kitten, too young to have been weened properly and sick - without intervention he wouldn't have survived on his own much longer. I nursed him back to health, had to hand feed him for awhile, and I became very attatched to him. He's now really healthy, a beutiful orange tabby and we get along great, but our relationship hit a very rocky point one morning. We've patched things up, reasonably well, but memories of this particular morning will always haunt us - particularly me.


But now the point: I shave after I get out of the shower. I throw a towel around my waist, but other than that I shave naked. Like I said my kitten - let's call him Butters - is hanging out in the bathroom the whole time. At this point he's maybe 4 months old, still young, but full of energy. He's playing, doing his thing, and eventually he starts rolling and playing around my feet. 'How sweet,' I think. 'This is a great cat.'

Next thing I know i'm on the floor, curled in the foetus position with blood dripping down my chin from a razor cut and Butters is hiding out behind the porcelin throne, starring at me with huge, dialated eyes.

yeah, he went there.

Dangling objects + kitten = kill.

For those who still haven't caught on, while playing around my feet Butters must have looked up and seen the ole' twig and berries, and decide that it would be a great idea to give the danglies a swat. He had good aim - very good aim...

I don't understand masochists."

Happy ThanksGiving :WWdn tourney

Happy Thanksgiving!

Why is it that I like to play with bloggers???? I can find easier games to play,
THE reason is cause of the camaraderie of playing against
other players some of whom you know to be very good at poker.
I mean you get to play with Wil Wheaton, Iggy, the good Doctor Pauly and the list keeps going.

here is a hand from the FINAL Table, Yeah thats right I managed to Not Donk
myself out early as usual.

Now SirWaffles thinks i made a donk play But i don't see it that way.
its the final table and only the big stacks were real comfortable. And I wasn't one of them.

I tried to steal but ran into a hand lucky for me,
I caught and Carmensincity didn't.
If I had Known she was a Pretty as she is good at poker maybe I would have folded.

FeliciaLee: "I think the end has pretty much come. I have wanted to forget about this journal so many times. I kept it going due to obligation I felt to Scott, the readers, myself, Glenn, etc."

Wow, First Iggy and now Felicia, Who will be next.
I know I usually flamed Felicia since she always seemed to
be bitchy in her writings but she is a good writer and seems like a nice person.

It is a shame to see another "Poker Blogger" Take down thier shingle.

thanks for the interesting reads Felicia.
