Moving the blog

Well, I am moving my blog. Apparently it is more of a pain in the ass than it's worth for anybody to read blogs on here anymore. Here is the new link. If CR changes this setup I'll move it back.

Made it to Seattle, Fun times in CA and Bridge Tilt

Blog by : ugobrokenow

Wow, not sure where to start but a long story short would be 20 or so hours in a car and a few days ago I was in Huntington Beach packing. Now I'm at my new place getting smoked playing PLO on BetUS, lol. I did have a bit of fun on the way up here which I suppose deserves to be written about so here goes....

Actually I need 5 mins as I just spilled Sam Adams all over myself, gg double deuce bottle...

OK, here it is. I believe it all began last Friday when I hopped in my ride about 4 hours later than planned and got on the 5 north heading towards a new life. About 3 hours later I had gone maybe 50 miles because LA traffic sucks the big one. At this point it's about 7 pm and I'm just past LA on my way to Sacremento to stay with my homie ICloneChips. Now if you don't know the drive basically I was way behind schedule to say the least. After speeding like a mofo and about passing out behind the wheel from exhaustion I made it up to Sactown around 1 am or so. I was promptly greeted by Iclone who had been waiting on me the entire night to spark up a fat blunt (that's some dedication)....within about 5 minutes of walking in the door I had ingested the 3 basic drug groups by hitting the blunt, drinking some SoCo straight out the bottle, and cracking a beer (actually I think I had a mixed drink too). Needless to say at this point between the sleep deprivation, driving, and substance abuse I could barely form a sentence and was sure I was coming off as a complete retard and embarrassing myself. Luckily Iclone has some cool homies and one of them was nice enough to take me out of the spotlight by doing an awesome standing up puke in the middle of speaking a sentence move. I was impressed to say the least, lolol. Probably one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Since time was of the essance we decided to get right down to it and play some heads up matches. Since Clone is obviously a huge pimp he elected to have some hot little blonde deal the matches for us and even gave her 2 decks so she could shuffle while dealing. This of course being the same hot blonde that was grilling he and I Tri Tip at 3 am (clone you're going to have to teach me how to pull that one off, gg). Somehow I managed to squeek out a 2 - 1 victory which I am still stoked about as I write this. Obv. K6dd is > AQdd on a 578dd board, lol. I was playing my usual strategy of betting relentlessly until given a reason not to (thanks Krantz) and it seemed to work out decently. Clone on the other hand seemed to be sticking to his guns and playing a more TAG game which was very solid to say the least. So at this point its about 4 am or so and we decide to call it a night and I passed out on the couch with the quickness. The next day we shot the shit for a while and I headed on my way planning to make it to Portland by evening. Btw, I just want to say thanks for the hospitality clone and if you're ever up in the Seattle area give me a shout.

So now I'm going to talk a bit about something called Bridge Tilt. I am deathly afraid of heights. I even went sky diving once to try and cure myself and instead all I accomplished was scaring the ever living shit out of myself and possibly making my fear of heights even worse. Well, nobody bothered to tell me that when driving from California to Washington you'll be driving through a lot of mountains (obv. I need somebody to let me know this shit). So basically how this works is driving over bridges or around cliffs scares me so fucking bad that I end up with my hands in the 10 and 2 positions on the steering wheel and don't dare remove them for any reason. I also ride the brakes and go slow as all get out. Well at a couple of points while almost crying I had some A-hole behind me feel the need to ride my ass instead of going around me (yes, I was probably doing like 20 under but fuck him). One specific A-hole in a white pickup truck decided to tailgate me for miles and honk his horn while doing so. At this point I was life tilting like a mofo and had there not been a giant cliff next to me would have stopped my car and made a solid attempt at wooping that ass. Finally asshole went around me and I gave him a nice 1 finger salute on his way by. So after driving through this shit for hours I stopped in some random town in Oregon once again behind schedule. I got a hotel next to Applebees where I went for dinner and about 7 beers later the hot bartender named Rose and I are hitting it off pretty good! gg me.

So the next day I'm back on the road planning on making it to Seattle. Everything is going fine and dandy until I get into Portland. WTF?!! Are you kidding me, I swear to god this fucking city is built out of giant 20 story bridges with no fucking guard rails. Back on life tilt for me. Not only that, but then they have these stupid ass suspension bridges with the big metal beams all over and when the sun is to the side it cuts through these beams like every foot and I can't see a fucking thing because it's like I'm driving with a strobe light blasting in my face. OMG!!!! So I make it through stupid as Portland and finally get to my new pad around 7 pm Sunday night. I decide to take a cruise by my new work Monday so I know where I'm going and low and behold oh, I have to drive over a giant fucking bridge 5 days a week now, sweet. I am still searching for an alternative route and even if it adds 10 miles to my commute it will be worth it imo.

So I'm sure there were some other cool things that happened but honestly the whole driving through mountains and over giant bridges thing life tilted me to the point where I wasn't paying attention to anything else. Here are some pics of the new pad and if any of you CR peeps live in the Seattle area hit me up because I don't know anybody up here.....

peace out homies

Been a while

Well, I haven't updated this in a while so I figured I should step up.

Life has been pretty fun lately. We've been doing a lot of end of summer partying here in Huntington Beach and I've been getting out surfing a ton which is sweet.

One new thing that has come up is that the company that flew me up to Seattle last month has come back with an acceptable job offer so I AM going to be moving to Seattle in two weeks. Kind of sucks as HB is fun this time of year but sometimes you just gotta go where the money is....and the money is in Seattle apparently, lol.

Anyway, on the way up I'm going to be stopping to see some poker friends in the Sacremento area and do some rockstar style partying! You might know a couple of them from their cardrunners names iclonechips & bbedell. Should be a fun time as I've discussed tons of hands and all kinds of other funny shit with these guys for a couple years now but never have met them in real life.

I'll make sure to take tons of pics on the drive up and some pics of the new place when I get settled in. I'm thinking of living in downtown Bellevue which looked like a pretty fun spot when I was up there in July. If not downtown Seattle ftw. Hope everyone is running good.

Take care ladies,

Z

Pictures but no trip report!

Blog by : ugobrokenow

So I'm not going to write a trip report about this......at least not here anyway! But here are some pictures from Europe. Fun times!

Beer Gardens are way fun!!! This was obviously first round as by a couple hours in you usually couldn't see the table!

Me and my cousin from Detroit.

Standard mess of a hotel room. Who decides hotel room cleaners are going to come in at 9 am everyday anyway? WTF!?! I think our room got cleaned like 3 times over the course of 11 days or so because we were never up before 9 am. Change that shiznit to 2 pm FTW!!!

Mercedes UPS truck deserved a mention, lol. So funny over here you're a baller if you drive the cedes and over in Europe they use them for cabs. Pretty much the same as us using a Ford or whatever because it's manufactured here but still funny nonetheless.

Random cool painting at a church.......

Must be nice to wake up to this every morning, lol.............and a couple more............

Probably the best picture I ever took in my life right here. Soooo sick!!!!

Even after 2 weeks of partying out in Europe I still managed to do it up in Michigan within about 3 hours of getting off the plane. I'm a trooper!!!!

And by some sort of miracle I made it back to CA in one piece!!! Fresh with a newly acquired soccer jersey and 1.5 liter beer mug! GG me!!!!!!

Well, that's about all I'm going to include in here. Hope you all enjoyed.

I don't think I'll be playing much poker for a while as I am still in the moving process and started a new job about 2 weeks before I left for Europe and quite frankly just don't have the drive to play right now so I'm not going to force it.

Peace out,

Z
