Meh...

I work with children. At least once a week I have to wipe greasy fingerprints off the monitor screen. I ask you, who touches the screen of a computer. They're like jocky-footballer types too so no doubt there's some kickass civic or girl on the screen that they feel they need to point out to a buddy and simply gesturing isn't enough, they need to mark it with a greased finger smudge. You think it's petty, but honestly when you're staring at enough fingerprints to make you think a crowd of kindergarten aged kids were on the computer at the Spongebob Squarepants site, you'd get annoyed too.

I actually made money playing poker last night. Normally I don't really lose cash, usually in the $2 to $5 range with the occasional night where I donate $10 to a buddy, that or else I'll break even or make a buck or two. Last night I actually made $11, big night for me. I'd like to say it was my superb skill, but it wasn't, I just happened to get the cards, think I had 4 flushes on the night. As a side note, something happened last night that needs to go down in the annuls of history... or at least in my blog for posterity. Ray, Alfred's cousin, was in a no limit tourney at the casino last night and on the very first hand was dealt pocket Queens... for those uninitiated that's a pair of Queens. So Ray, being thoroughly insane, goes all in before the flop. Again in laymans terms that means he puts in all his cash before any community cards are shown. Well, some guy called him who had King Queen suited and he ended up getting.... a flush or a straight or something, he beat Ray anyway. So that was it, Ray was done in one hand, possibly the quickest out ever. Jan can verify if that would be a record holder.

And this brings me to Patrick Stag weekend 2004!! Although being a stag, it won't be an annual event. Edmonton is the place to be and mucho funo will be had...o. No strippers will be involved, which I have no problem with. I may be single but I'm not so desperate as to need to sit and watch someone take their clothes off. It's something different if my girlfriend is doing that, there was this one valentine's day..... uhhh, nevermind.

What does bring me to the stag weekend is the casino that we will be attending. That will be fun, as well as the waterpark, gun range, hooters.... much fun will be had, I look forward to it.
