Havent updated in awhile..

but I just finished reading my new favorite book. Escape From Bellevue is about Chris Campion the lead singer of the Knockout Drops. Its basically a memoir of his life and his struggles of alcoholism and coke problems. He loses everything from his faith in God to his family because of this and also loses his love for music at one point calling it a "griding chore".

I would definitely recommend this book because it was one of those 'page turners' as I like to call them.

Haven't been playing to much poker as of late but I'm gonna be getting back to the grind here shortly.. I recently deposited back onto AP (a site in which I have had many positive experiences (like my first MTT win and many heaters there after) with but couldn't handle playing on a cheating site). I haven't played much on there but I am up about $20 thus far and already FT'd a MTT. Plus 30% rakeback is super legit.

August has been good to me thus far the weather has been nice and my tips are finally getting back to what I had been accustomed to during my first 2 summers at the Old Firehouse Winery.

September is always a good month for me because the second weekend all the guys on my Dads side go up to the Allegheny Mountains rent a cabin, get a keg and cook a hearty tenderloin. The amount of booze and gambling going on creates for a great weekend. The best part besides food and beer (obviously) is the casino is 10 minutes down the road. I played in there Saturday morning tournament last year and split heads up for roughly $800. The card room is small but the dealers and staff were the friendliest people I have experienced in my live experiences thus far.

With Browns season right around the corner Im not expecting much I would like to think we could pull out 6 wins but the QB play in the first game was awful so Ill go with 4 wins at best and probably end up 3-13. I would not be surprised if either of these QBs are on the team next year. I could see the Browns drafting Bradford with the 1st pick already.

My Thoughts on Lebron Walking Off the Court

If some of you are still living under rocks LeBron walked off the court after the Magic clinched the East. I have no problem whatsoever with this.

He was quoted as saying he hates losing and why congratulate someone who just whooped your behind. I am all for sportsmanship during the game. Helping a player up after a foul, picking up a bat after a batter gets knocked on his ass etc. However in this case I think LeBron's attitude is perfect. I can guarantee you he went to the gym the next day and only had one goal how can I make myself better and my teammates better. IMO every athlete should have this attitude.

So LeBron hats off to you and keep doing what you do!

Go Cleveland

Mass Effect & Mass Effect 2

Currently I have been spending about every waking moment playing Mass Effect. What a game IMO.. I know it has been out over a year now and Ive had it for about half that time but sheesh I just finished it and damn. I really want the 2nd one to come out now. I have been doing some brief readings about Mass Effect 2 and let me just say I think it might be one of THE TOP GAMES Xbox has ever put out.

If you have not played the first one get off your ass and rent the damn game. YOU will get hooked!

Happy Mothers Day!

This is my video we put on my Moms Digital Picture Frame we bought her for Mothers Day!

My Annual Big Summer Purchase

Ive been wanting to make some short movies/take pictures for quite awhile now and now Ill have the capabilities to do that!

2009 Browns Draft Grade

i think they were smart for passing on rey (hides in room and locks his house up) because he isnt a wrap up drag down tackler

i like Alex Mack alot and think hes gonna anchor that center spot for 10 years

then the WR.. when was the last time we had two guys in the same season who could actually catch the ball? (winslow and JJ i know lol but still not to often in cleveland)

I see MM and Robiskie anchoring this WR staff for quite a few years

This DE from Hawaii really intrigues me I really like his potential and high motor

The Kaluka kid is gonna be a steal IMO I see him moving inside with DQwell and having some big plays from both these guys for years to come.

The CBs i dont know much about but Kokinis was intrigued by their size becasue they match up against the bigger receivers in this division. works for me

James Davis is another guy I see becoming a very solid player for this team. I really think he compliments Jamal well.

Im very excited to get these guys in camp and of course Go Browns!
