So i am now 18.It finally came on saturday, it took it's time - trust me.I put on a bet on a horse and also had my usual lottery ticket on.Nothin 1 out of them i only won 1 race a greyhounds at night which i still slightly lost money as i put £7 and got £4.23 back.Ohhh well i still has some fun.Been playin with other gifts i got as well.Guitar Hero World Tour is awesome, the songs are great and easy is just easy but i am working on that and building myself up.Beginner you only strum you don't use buttons so i would say it's harder as it's so easy you don't concentrate.I just skipped it.I also played my other xbox game Fight Night Round 4 which is brilliant.Not played online yet just been doing career mode to be ready to win online.I hope it works, won most my fights in career mode but lost a few sadly- btw when i say career mode i mean legacy mod, it used to be called career mode in the other fight night games.I watched a few episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond which i have been enjoying watching the last few months.I got into it as i seen Ray Romano at WSOP Main Event 2008 and gave it a try and really liked it.I have the 1st series to watch, i don't think i have seen an episode from the first series.Another thing i got was a lot of alcohol, not really had much only had a few drinks on my birthday which i was slightly tisy and apart from that a can of beer last night.I plan to drink more some nights this week.I got my poker player magazine which i always enjoy reading, they make it exciting to read.I got this aftershave which is in the shape of a fist.The new deisel one it looks really cool.i got some money and stuff like that too.So got a lot to do now

I am going to be playing a lot of poker in the upcoming month, playing mostly micro stakes tourneys and cash games on pokerstars and now and then i will play some sit and go tourneys as well.My poker gift for my birthday was paid entry to $27 satalitte tourney at 23.00 last night for WCOOP.I ended up busting out 25 to go before qualifying which was gutting, i really wanted to be in it so i now am going to put a bit to try and play the regional promotion for uk and ireland players for WCOOP ticket.The best bit about the satalitte was knocking Team Pokerstars Pro Victor Ramdin out with about 5 mins into tourney.

So the pes 2009 Grand Finals are all over in Manchester Old Trafford stadium.I got back in Glasgow at 4 ish yesterday, i had a great weekend.The live draw they had and all the setup at the competition was all very well done.My group was a tough one but i would take anyone,you just have to concentrate on the game ahead of you.My first game was a very poor start as i lost 6-1 to pshychosykes18 but i got a penalty against me which was never one and a sending off which was only s bookin,everything went wrong that could happen.I just forgot about that game and i had the break in the group next as there was 7 of us.After the break i played gcbc which i won 4-2.I then played Stevenymbo who i put out in penalties at braehead event a month ago.I was winning 3-1 but he pulled 2 goals back, i then manged to get 2 more with 15 mins left to win the game 5-3.I then played JamesCs which i won comfortably 3-0.After that i played Oz Idris who got tp the final of the main event which i scored first and then shortly afterwards he equalised.I was slightly on top throughout the game and got my goals to win the game 3-1.I think his style suited the way i play.My last game was against last years Grand Final champ footimaster which i got a penalty and was drawing 1-1 with him but he came out on top to win 4-2.My knockout last 32 was 2nd game out of the draw.I was playing an1mal who people where saying is really good.I lost a goal fairly early on but played really good after that and managed to land the goals in winning 5-1 which i was happy about.So now to last 16 and the way the draw worked i was playing Rob Mclean next.I got off to a really bad start losing 3 goals in 8 mins.First 2 he just managed to scrape front post and then i got a penalty which was a bit of a dogy decision.I climbed back to 3-2 before he went up and scored to make it 4-2.At the end of game just going into stoppage time i took it round the keeper with Kaka to make it 4-3 but it was too late to grab another and i went out.I enjoyed watching the games on the main stage and talking to all the people there.Be really good next season again.I came 21st in rankings which was good for my first season, i just started playing back in March so am happy with my first season.So now have a break for a couple of months and then Pes 2010.

I played poker last night in the 100k Guranteed pokerstars uk and ireland players only.I had qualified through freeroll which was easy as 150 players got in and there was only 324, the catch was but that you could only play once a week in it so you had 1 shot per week.I qualified first time.I played quite good a few small mistakes cost me sometimes but i made it up playing some hands really well.I pushed being a short stack after playing for 2 and half hours with pocket threes and got called with aces and i bust in 378th place out of 10,840.Still done well to get down to that considerin i was basically card dead all night apart from first 15 mins.I made $25 so still some profit.

So back home in Glasgow again,Manchester was great and i would go back again.Stayed up to like 3 last night i don't feel tired at all.
