Cooling Off
I had another blog going under a different name, but had that name deleted so I will restart that blog. You can expect topics to range from finance, politics, entrepreneurship, football, life, family, college, future trips to Florida, NYC, and Las Vegas, poker, coaching, real estate and any other random story. I'm pretty sarcastic and some of what I talk about should be taken very lightly.
So today was my birthday.
A lot of people get hyped for birthdays and treat them like a holiday. I guess I am the Mr. Scrooge of birthdays. Can't stand 'em.
I started the day off running late to an exam due to being hung over from an extremely long "session" last night. "Session" meaning online poker, you will learn that I play every now and then and am actually a decent player. I openly talk about playing because I know what level of player I am (if you are curious, I am in the top 2% of all players- there are over 3 million players online across the world) and that I am not a degenerate which is usually tagged on those who have no control, are losing players, and ultimately waste their lives away. Anyways, I was running late to an exam because my alarm clock apparently went off on my Droid Incredible but did not wake me up because the phone died as soon as the alarm triggered. I wasn't sweating the exam because I knew all the material and planned on it only taking about 45 minutes of the allotted 1 hour and 45 minutes. Much to my disdain, the exam took much longer than that, only one student out of 60 finished before time was called. I only completed 58 points out of 100, meaning if I got everything right, I'm looking at a C unless she curves. Pretty disappointed.
On to dinner tonight.
Dinner was a little random. I went to a popular Japanese Hibachi restaurant called Kabuto. I used to go there all the time, but have not been in quite awhile. At Kabuto they sit you down with strangers. Odd thing was that there was a girl sitting to my direct left and it was her birthday too, and she turned 22 as well. I couldn't really believe it to be honest. The first impression I got from her and her friend were that they were both lesbians which was kind of unfortunate because she was really nice and had a good personality. I haven't really been in to the dating thing for a little over a year now since I broke up with someone I invested a lot of time with/for. It was a little awkward scheming with my grandma and father there so I avoided it most of the time. What was really awkward was when Qai Bing came out of the kitchen playing the drums and told us to kiss each other for birthday kiss...:wallbang:
Anyways, happy the day is over. Looking forward to Wednesday and possibly another blog post.
Adios.
