AT&T you suck so bad

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

I have had my IPhone ever since they came out. In the beginning the phones issues and AT&T’s stability was very questionable.

I stayed on board thinking “they will get their act together quick. This is too big for them to screw up”.

Well Apple did their part. The phone is great, almost never goes down or does anything unexpected.

…. But AT&T you still fucking suck. Can’t believe the amount of dropped calls and dead zones I’m having. Apple can’t believe you will associate your brand with such a terrible provider and let them limit the phones ability to work as a modem because they can’t handle it and wants to make even more money on me. Shame on you AT&T

Boating season getting closer, poker break and Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

I can’t wait until I can put my newly renovated boat back on Lake Mead. I just got a brand new short block, new tower speakers, new regular speakers, a new amplifier and a lot of other smaller fixes done.

Living in Las Vegas, spending only about 45 minuttes until hitting the lake from where I live is such a nice and easy ‘getaway’ from the city.

This season I want to get my daughter Olivia up on the wake board, and myself more than shaky legs on the surf board. Other than that, having a good time, and getting as many days on the water as I can.

On another note: My break from poker still feels really good, even on a Sunday where I would normally be playing a load of online tournaments, it only bites a little bit having to give that up, but is easily overwhelmed by me going to the movies today.

I went, along with my daughter Olivia and my friends boy Theis, to see Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. As much as I have seen mixed reviews on IMDB, I simply thought the movie was phenomenal. The movie was visually stunning, the story compelling and the acting was superb. Olivia and Theis seemed to have a very good time as well, so the movie works really well for kids and adults alike.

Here is a trailer for you to enjoy if you haven’t seen it yet.

14 days without poker

Friday, March 5th, 2010

So I have put myself on a poker break after running bad for a couple of months. 14 days have passed and I actually feel really good about it. It’s a lot easier to reflect on it when not playing. The rules for my break are easy. I can start playing again no earlier than April 1st. But I have to drop 15 pounds of weight first, otherwise the break continues until that goal has been reached too.

Status after 12 days. Dropped 5 pounds and 0 hands of poker played.
