Random Early Morning Thoughts

Well there isnt a lot of early morning TV shows that are worth a crap. So I sit here and play online free poker and hone up for the real deal. Sometimes it seems the pot that I get out of, I would of won if I had stayed in. But I did my best at the time so it is all good. It happens. But it is all about learning how to play poker. I have been reading poker strategy sites and guess what...?? Poker is the next addiction added to my list. So Life, Exercise, Golf and Poker.

I think that all four are helping me with the thought processes of me. Maybe I just more aware when I am thinking of them.

"Is it two good cards to start with?" "How much will I bet to see the flop?" "What player seems to be having a hot run?"

"Is it a good lie?" "What is the best shot I could make from this position?"

So many thoughts to have...analytical. So many feeling to take into consideration...intuition, ask the Self 2 what it thinks?

Watch my ego and dont let it lead me into frustration.

The bottom line is to have fun. WTF?

Dreams

I dont know if it is the vitamins I take  or what but I sometimes have the most violent bloody dreams, and I had one tonight when I slept.

Then when I was waking up from the dream in the in-between zone, it was like I had a story line going off in my head about an evil man who was about to get hanged.

The man looked down at the crowd and shouted "I can see the pearly gates!!" The crowd booed,  then trap door was tripped, and the new rope stretched then jerked, breaking the man's neck and sent the man to Hell."

WTF?? LOL 

I got to go and take my vitamins...

Online Poker Tournament

I played in an online first level qualifying tournament of Zyanga free online poker today. Buy in was $2k per person, with 1k being played. There were 9 players.

The first hand was bizarre, with the player to my left betting 1k, and the whole table, excluding me, followed. The player to my left won the whole pot...7K. That left just the two of us playing. "He" had 8k and I had 980 in chips. Kind of a mismatch on the number of chips, but like Doyle Brunson says "All ya need is a chip and a chair."

Three hours later, I won the qualification match. LOL "He" was not happy at the outcome. I was however.

another type of forged blade

I came across this site and they have forged blades as well.

I think that it would make a great self defense tool.

First Blog Dang LOL

So here it is, the first blog for me...oooh now it is certified ... I am a blogger.

This blog is for the discussion of using forged blades and for whatever else comes to mind. I am an avid golfer and love the vintage forge blades.

I am currently golfing with Ben Hogan Apex 2's that have been lengthened by an inch. My second set is the MacGregor Murifield 20th Edition. Both sets are so sweet to hit but one has to hit using the center of the club face. Yes blades do make one a better ball striker.

I have been golfing for 11 years, and my first set was made by Primo and they were blades that I had bought from a guy that couldnt hit them for $100. I have been told by other golfers that I have a natural swing and I learned on those blades. When I got the Apex 2's five years ago, I was shooting in the mid 80's, and now after a foot/toe injury of a year ago, I am finally coming back into form. Lesson learned "Dont golf with an injury that effects one's swing...it will jack up your normal swing."

So it has been an enlightening year of relearning to swing the body to project the ball to a predetermined location. I have read a lot of golf books, and mental/mind/body books on this journey. I will make a list of the golf books that I recommend.

Enough for now.
