So friday i ended up going out for dudes night out. We went to the local AHL hockey game at 7pm. I realized what the best (only?) good thing about going to a hockey game is. There are TWO long breaks. This lets you grab a few pops before the game, after the 1st period AND after the 2nd period without having to miss any of the action. So after the game we are walking to the parking garage and my buddy says "man cops could make a killing if they just sat at the parking garage exit and gave people BAC tests since most of the people were leaving the game waxed (us included). He then proceeds to turn the wrong way onto a busy one way street exiting the parking garage (i couldn't make that up if i tried). Thankfully he was able to turn around before A)getting into an accident and B)blowing a 0.15 on the BAC and picking up a DUI.
Next stop was a local watering hole etc etc etc. The cab back to his house was interesting. The cab driver would not stop talking to us and the only thing that actually got him to shut up was when i had to open the car door while we were driving becuz i was seconds away from puking. His tone changed very quickly once he realized i was ready to yack all over his cab. Thankfully, we made it back to his house without me puking everywhere but i'm still bitter since the plan when we got into the cab was to hit up taco bell, but by the time we got there, the last thing in the wolrd i wanted was taco bell.
Let me tell you your body DOES NOT recover the same way after a night of drinking like it did in college. I felt like shit all day Saturday, and this wasn't helped by the fact that i had to drive an hour and a half home at 8am to meet Mrs Murphy and the home builder.
Saturday night we planned on just relaxing but our friends asked us if we wanted their tickets to the basketball game, and since they only have 2 home games left this year, we figured we should probably take them and go. Thankfully we pulled out a W and had a good time at the game. Maybe we'll end up avoiding the NIT after all.
On the way home we hit up one of those redbox movie rental things (1st time i've ever used them). We watched "Buried". It's the movie where Ryan Reynolds is buried alive in a casket and he is the only person they show the entire movie. I won't say too much about it in case you haven't seen it, but i had very high expectations for the movie since it got an 88 on rotten tomatoes and halfway through the movie i was on life tilt. At that point the movie was God awful!!!!! The end of the movie ended up being awesome and it saved the movie, so all in all i'd say it was a good rental.
Ok, time for some dinner. Mrs Murph made Chicken stir fry (for those that read Doubleflys blog, i won't be posting any food shots...sorry).

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaack
Due to popular demand, i'm going to start blogging again. I figured since a few of my "friends" over at a certain poker forum were checking this blog first thing every morning, i'll leave them a nice surprise when they check back.
I'm not really sure what the breakdown of my blogging is going to be. I'm thinking 50% life, 50% poker. I don't want to give out too much personal information since there are a few crazies on the aforementioned poker forum that for some reason really want to know more about me and i really don't feel like coming home one day seeing a ransom letter on my dinning room table saying they have Mrs. Murph (joking obv...mostly).
Poker: Poker has been going about has bad as it has ever gone for me. I'm on my way to booking my first losing month since i've been playing professionally (2+ years). If i don't have a pretty huge last week of Feb, i will have lost $$$ at the tables. The good news is that i bought the FTP 5k bonus this month (coincidence?) AND i shipped $600 in the super bowl squares pool, so all that taken into consideration, i'm going to end up having a decent month bankroll wise, but that doesn't take away from the fact that i'm probably going to end up booking a "losing month". December 2010 i had my worst ever month to date, so having my 2 worst months as a poker player in a 3 month span hurts.
I think i've been running situationally about as bad a humanly possible. I'm 7 or 8 buy ins -ev also, and it's just destroyed my confidence. What's wierd is that my stats have been TIGHTER this month than ever before (shouldn't i be going on tilt and playing more hands when getting crushed?) W/e though. I shipped 1k these past few days, so i'm on the uptick hopefully.
Life: Leaving Mrs Murph behind and having a dudes night out tonight, so pretty jacked about that. Dudes night out isn't quite the same though when you're in your 30's, and have friends with kids, but it still should be a good time. There is a chance some live poker will be involved, so if we hit up the casino, i'll post some interesting hands.
We are 98% sure we are going to be building a house this spring. We meet with the builder tomorrow for the 2nd time, and if all goes well, we should be breaking ground next week. Pretty excited to be moving into the neighborhood that our plot is in as it's one of the nicest subdivisions in town AND it's less than 0.5 miles from the head coach of the football team (rather not say the school for reasons mentioned above).
Pretty jacked about golf season too. We joined the country club last year, so i plan on playing golf at least 3-4 times a week. Course is one of the tougher courses around, so it's a very frustrating course to play, but i like a challenge, and all the members say if you can go low here, you can go low ANYWHERE, so as frustrating as it's going to be playing almost all my golf there, it should take my game to the next level...i hope.
Ok, gonna grab something to eat. I'll try to update a few times a week. I kept this thing going for almost 2 years on a pretty regular basis, so i think i can do it again.
