Baseball

Team Shittalk, that is our team name.  The name should give a good idea of what sort of players we have on our team.  We are constantly trashtalking each other the entire game, an action we call Shittalking.

This year we seem to be doing quite well in the regular season, sitting right now at 11-3 for the season which is good for first in the league.  We have played 1 more game than the next closest team and they could overtake us for sure before the end of the season.  However, the fact that we are doing as good as we are is good enough for me.

Not Another New Favorite Author?!

Yes Yes, another post today, what can I say, I am burning up time...
Going to watch that Open Season...should be good...

But, about this author...
You may never have heard of him, but if you have, you will know all his work...
His name is Douglas Coupland.

I have read 2 of his books and both pwned...
Mind you, both were about techie type life and the such but wow....
Right now I am reading another of his books that is not about techie life and it is great too...
Plus, when I was in Portland I stopped in at Powell's Used Books and got an autographed first edition of one of his earlier pieces...

Microserf's

All Families Are psychotic

En français s'il vous plaît

In an attempt to broaden my horizons, I have decided to learn French. I just wanted to learn another language and being that French is the other National language I figured what the hell...

I was trying to learn Japanese but, wow, that is some hard shit to do on your own...

French seems to be easier. I don't know if that is because I learned a bit of it when my mind was not so set in its ways (junior high and high school) or if it is just simply easier because the characters are pretty much the same, save those silly upside down question marks...hahaha

Anyways, I will possibly try a post soon, en francais....we will see....

Lates,

??? Mr.Aw3some = Mr.Pok3r ???

My friends and I play poker pretty much every week in a fun little tournament style game. We all buy in for 20 bucks and the top 3 are paid out. We usually have anywhere between 5-12 people so it ends up being a pretty sweet haul, should you win.

First off, we only play No-Limit Texas Hold'em. We have tried Omaha and Razz but they suck when you are playing for such a small amount of cash, hence everyone see's the river and the best hand usually gets drawn out on...this is not the case with NL Tex Hold'em...

Blinds go up every 20 minutes, 15 if we have a ton of people. Usually we draw for seats, pick a card style.

Payouts usually go: one buy in for third, and then first and second split the rest 70%-%30. We usually do re-buys for the first hour, but only if you are busted...

Everyone takes their turn at winning, as everyone is pretty evenly matched in our game, the cards usually decide the outcome...

That's the Friday night Poker Tourney here in Mr.Aw3some land....
Most of us play online on FullTiltPoker.com as well but mostly just for fun...
If you want to talk to me on FTP then I am 'Galvatron II'...
Anyways, I'm out,

Transformers Live Action

I found out a while ago that Dreamworks were going to be creating a new live action Transfomers Movie...

Set out in theatres 07-04-07, it sounds like it will be based on the movie and that it will be done right. Lets hope this is true. But from the words of Dreamworks Director of Distribution Jim Thorpe, "By staking our claim on the 4th of July, 2007, we ensure that we not only have the time to make this movie the way it should be made, but also to build excitement and awareness leading up to its release." I hope this is the reason for the distant release date...

Kicked in the Nuts

Recently, after watching a certian movie starring Ryan Reynolds, I started to try and find humor at work. This being said I found it not to be that hard to actually find.

My department is made up of a pretty much all male crowd. Hence, a lot of the time we act like retards...

Dick and fart jokes are a main staple but the the one thing that gets me through the day is Kicked in the Nuts...

In this game we being playing the goal is to get your target to flinch as bad as possible when you pretend to kick him in the nuts. The office I work in has some pretty tight asses so this makes for some serious fun when you consider that. Not to mention their verbal abuse afterwards is always very colorful and funny as hell...after all, there really is nothing funnier than watching someone get kicked in the nuts except watching their reactions when they get a fake kick in the nuts.....

Worlds Laziest Ninja

There a some things every guy wants to be. Some want to race cars, some want to play music...
I want to be a ninja. Ninja's are fucking awesome....
What other job requires kicking ass and looking awesome? None lives up to that as much as the job of ninja....

Every single Halloween I was a ninja...
My parents would say that I should try being something else but fuck that....
I was in training...and besides...what is scarier that a ninja? NOTHING...
You see a ninja...you think....I hope he don't have no throwing stars otherwise he could totally throw them at me....and no one wants to have ninja stars thrown at them by a ninja....

I have included a pic or two of my ninja collection....
I use them every day...as you can see the knives are pretty warn...but the star is still awesome...
Thanks to G-Unit and Miki for that...

And remember, watch out for ninja's.....

The Pyramid of Tin

Behold, the biggest pyramid in all of Canada. Well, Kamloops anyways. My bro Cody, and his roomates, John, Cody T, and Bob, created this awe inspiring marvel over the course of the past 2 or so years...

The pyramid of more than 500 "tins" resides in the basement...
Those of you that know of the basement may have heard stories...but nothing can compare to seeing the sheer size of it, glistening in the florescent light...

If you are ever in the area and are on your last dip then stop by, have a beer, and add a little piece of history to the 8th great wonder of the world...
