Swing!
Posted on October 17, 2004 by Ching under Life, Poker.
I can’t keep up with blogging because there is so much happening right now. And the events just happen so fast that by the time I have a moment to blog about it, something else more interesting has transpired. But then sometimes, the dilemma is whether to share or not to share. If it were my own chika I won’t have any qualms whatsoever but then if it’s other people’s chika then I worry that they’ll hate for airing their dirty laundry.
Anyway, since I don’t have time to do any actually blogging, you’ll notice that I’m using Audio Blogger more. It’s awesome! I love it. If you hate hearing the grinding and painful sound of my voice, then you can just skip those entries. You’re not being forced to listen to them. Although, I’m sure you’ll be quite amused at how dumb and ditsy I can be so it may be worth a listen just to make fun of me.
Speaking of not blogging as much, another alternative would be my Flick album. Now that I’ve got it setup to accept photos from my phone, it’s updated on a daily basis. I signed up for a PRO account because I’m addicted to Flickr. If you’ve ever used it, you’ll understand. I had a taste of PRO membership until October 17 (today) when my free PRO membership expired. I thought I could hold out until December, but man! There simply is no comparison between the free membership and the PRO membership! Trust me on this.
[Flickr should really give me a referral bonus or some sort of discount for plugging their product!]
Anyway, if you don’t hear from me for a while, I’m probably busy with school or work or giving Brian blowjobs. I owe him for last weekend still (for letting me play the $10 buy-in). He was supposed to get road head on the way home but Branden’s ride left and so we offered to give him a ride home. I didn’t even think anything of it until I was climbing into the back seat of the car. I busted up laughing!! Because I didn’t have to pay up. We had to explain it to Branden who, I’m sure, regretted being privy to the information.
And then last night I had my way twice. Brian initially said no dancing if I play in the $50 buy-in tourney (all his coworkers are still in shock that he let me participate; all I got to say is: the payment is worth acquiescence; again, trust me on this). I did pretty decent: 4th place but once again one place shy of the money. Branden won 3rd and received $100 for his effort. Second place took $150 and “evil” Mike won $350. It was a long-ass tourney that started from 6 PM to 11 PM. Jen called me a couple of times to find out if I was on my way to Flashbacks, which I hadn’t even asked Brian about yet because he said either poker or dancing but not both!
Believe it or not, I managed to talk him into going to Flashbacks too! Branden went with us (as you heard on the previous audio post). He got bored though, so we let him take my car home. Not the best idea in the world considering he’s not allowed to drive but it was the least we could do since Flashbacks isn’t really his kind of place. As old as Branden is, he prefers teeny boppers at Grahams. What a perv!
Brian told me that he almost got Branden pulled over while giving him instructions to get out of the parking lot. He had him going the wrong way on 2nd St and didn’t realize it until he saw a cop car drive by. He ran (now, you have to consider how major this is because Brian doesn’t run; not even when playing racquetball) to the car which was stopped at the intersection, effectively startling Branden. He had to tell Branden to turn around because he was going the wrong way! We can’t afford to get Branden pulled over, not just because he’s in my car, but because he’ll go to jail for good! He’s not supposed to be driving at all! Not even to work! Not anywhere! At any rate, I wish I could’ve witnessed this because I probably would’ve laughed my ass off! Just the thought of Brian running up to the car amuses me as I sit here and type up this post.
We actually stayed at Flashbacks after last call which is out of the ordinary for us. Our normal MO is to leave at midnight a la Cinderella. But then, we didn’t arrive until almost midnight and I needed at least a couple of hours worth of dancing and booty shaking to satiate my desire to look absolutely foolish on the dance floor. There’s nothing more satisfying than embarrassing Brian in front of other drunk people. I don’t know why he cares. They look a lot more retarded than we do! Maybe I just like pushing his buttons. LOL!
We had to pick up my car from Branden’s on the way home. He lives at Ponderosa, right by us, so it’s not too far. Although, we stayed and chatted a while so we didn’t get home until after 2 AM. Brian wanted repayment and actually voiced his concern (about me passing out as soon as we got home) while we were driving home. I assured him that he would receive his payment and that I would be fine. Umm.. He was right. I zonked as soon as I hit the bed so he hasn’t received any payment yet whatsoever for relenting to my whims the past couple of weeks.
Today, I got my way again! Some people just don’t learn their lesson, I guess. Just kidding! I managed to talk Brian into taking me to see the Swing! production at Century II. At $42, it’s more expensive than going to the movies but the show was definitely worth every penny. It’s the most awesome dancing I’ve seen in a long time!
Brian did a bit of whining about how I have yet to pay him for his being so compliant. And I go, “It’s my birthday month! I’m entitled to it!” I think at this point, trying to get out of having to pay is worth a shot because I’ve been lucky so far! LOL!
Ugh. There is so much more to write about – and so very little time! Brian just got done playing video games and he will ask to go to bed any minute now! I’m going to bed for now and I’ll just catch you all up next time.
