I hate my life.

So ive decided to break something in the house...im just trying to decide which object. Shall i sacrifice my old computer?..mouse?...keyboard?...cat? hmmm....tough one. oooooooo...maybe my Mike Vick bobble head doll?..hmm...ok, i have decided, after much consideration...to destroy my Mike Vick bobble head doll.

How are u going to destroy it?..u may ask. Well, thats a good question. I'll have to think about that. hmm...a good ole hammer is always dependable...i doubt a bobble head could catch on fire...but that could be worth a try. A lawn mower could be useful here....a saw could be a good weapon as well.... ..those bobble heads are pretty tough though...I'll have to think about this some more.

If u cant tell that ive had a bad day or at least suffer from some type of mental disorder..well, i have... and i probably do.

I began my day by winning 3 out of my first 4 tournies as u can see by my chart below...I thought today was going to be THE DAY for my big turnaround (I have been running pretty much even for the last couple weeks)...but it was not meant to be.



Then i didnt make the money in my next 6 tournies...7 overall if u count one i played after 12:00. I'm not sure why PS seems to hate me so much...I hope it isnt because i touch myself at night....

The hand(s) that really set me off though were in the first match of Thursday. Here they are....

I played well today...surprise surprise..lol



I was running pretty consistently all day...didnt have any long stretches of bad runs or great runs. But i thought it was weird as hell that i didnt have any second place finishes...Maybe i've finally hit my stride in the second match.

I had a down right miserable time today. I played better than my results indicate..but damn, i actually had a 9 tourney losing streak! That just aint right IMO. And during that run i lost 7 straight matches! wow! Now thats something to be proud of!

And of course i had my usual 'get ass-raped by 3 and 4 outers on the river' moments...after awhile i would be truly shocked when i won with the best hand. Im sure all of u reading this know what im talking about.

On another note, 'Snag It' is fucking cool.
