Well it's been an interesting week, i don't usually blog about my general life, i usually cover topics and a bit added of my life but then one is just based on what's going on.

My mobile phone is due an upgrade, it is a contract phone but i am not sure what to do.I like my phone i have as i mainly like listening to music and then obviously textin and phoning people.Now is it worth getting another phone for free when it is better but much more complicated to use.Then you wouldn't stop using it when your out, well i think i might just stay with one i have but if there is any phone i really want i would consider changing it.

I subscribed to Poker Player magazines for 24 months so i got it the other day there.Still to read parts of it, i ain't got my free chip protector yet though.I haven't been playing a lot but hopefully within the next couple of weeks i will be back in swing of things.

I have been doing a lot of tweets lately, actually just in general i have been using the computer a lot more, maybe it's cause i can't get on Pokerstars and i currently have no xbox(i hope it is back soon so i can play my new game pes 2010).

The weekend for me is set like this, probably go out tomorrow and get drunk unless something else comes up and Saturday i am going to this event my dad wants me to go to, Sunday i might see Shana and then do a workout later on, doing a lot of boxing training in the house lately, i need to buy batteries for my wii fit.I need new cd's to listen to as well.First things first though, time to watch X Men

The X Factor was poor for MIss Frank, i felt they were one of the best performers on saturday night but the public didn't seem to like them.Well done girls on getting that far though, it was a tough road.Now Danyl didn't sing great but he shouldn't have been in bottom two, it should have been Jamie and Lloyd.Jamie cheated which i am dissapointed in him.If he didn't want to cheat he would have told Simon i'm not singing that song.I thought Lloyd struggled again but the girls like him so he stays in which is fair enough.If people like you then that's the way.So another weekend of X Factor to look forward too.

Apart from that just been doing some tweets and going to watch the Celtic v Hearts game tonight, it is on BBC

Okay this blog is my views on Cannabis:

First of all i think the government is completely stupid with the way some of the stuffs run in Britain, a positive i can take out of it though is we are the UK.If it was Scotland alone being run i would leave and live somewhere else, anyone who disagrees are just being stereotyped about people who aren't Scottish, anyway i can go on about that later.So i think cannabis should be legalized.Now i have looked up all the stats on stuff like this which is kinda sad but i had to back up what i am saying.Okay if you think of alcohol for example which i take and i don't see anything wrong with it, it is legal.Now each year in the UK there has been roughly 1 death a year related to cannabis and the reason being is because these 1 a year guys are complete looneys who eat a hell of an amount of it, so it's their own fault.Now on the other hand roughly a year in the UK there has 4,000 deaths.Now it clearly shows that they should be more worrying about alcohol than making cannabis a class B drug, i don't take cannabis personally although i have took it a couple of times a few years back.My other point about it is there is a lot of black market involved within this drug as you don't get much time behind bars for selling this which is a shame for some people who end up dealing with dogy characters.So at the end of the day i leave you with my chart to back me up and hope some changes get made within next few years, i am not voting for labour- that's for sure !

I am doing a blog on Aly Michalka and Vanessa hudgens, who looks nicer.Now imo they are both very nice but in dif ways, i love that Vanessa is tanned and black hair really suits her.I think Aly is more up for it if you get me but saying that i seen a few pics of Vanessa Hudgens a few months back that let's just arn't suitable for the young audience.Then she didn't know thye where going get spread about the internet.I think they are both very nice and i rest my case that i slightly favour Aly.Anyway tell me what you think on twitter about who you prefer, my twitter is: http://twitter.com/RitchieEss

I thought i would just do a blog.Okay not in a great mood if am being honest which is unusual for me.I am not going into detail but i just feel people jump to conclusions before they hear the story which has actually made me pissed off.I hate people who have favourites over people, at the end of the day you can believe what you want to believe.I admit i done a bit wrong but totally not what people are making it out to be, it's like 85% there fault and 15% mine.Well i think i have said enough, reason i ain't discussing more details is because it's a family issue.What goes on in the family stays in the family !

I watched the X Factor tonight and thought it was good.Rikki Loney was the one to go but as i said he needed improvements sooner or later and i personally thought when it was him and Rachael in the Sing For Survival that he sang better.Rachael seemed to be too sad to sing if that makes sense.Also want to say Cheryl Cole sang great !

As mentioned on one of my tweets i am going to start using the wii fit more again.My goal is to put on nearly half a stone in a month which should be quite tough but i feel i can do it.Going to try working out on it at least four times a week.My plan is to spend an hour each session and do a bit of everything on it.So i will see how it goes.

Just going to give you some news on my xbox which is broke.I am shortly going to be sending it away to get repaired and it should be up and running in a few weeks again, the three red lights came on it a about three weeks ago while i was playing Fight Night Round 4.I need to send it off to Germany to get it fixed and it usually takes a few weeks.Just need to get delivery and stuff sorted out this week and should be sent by the end or the start of next.

A few weeks ago i read the Mike Matusow Auto Biography that i ordered off of amazon which i read in two days, it was really good.It was specially interesting for me and as Mike said in a interview it is more suited for young guys who play poker.He went through a lot, some i knew of but the book really went into detail about some things.I recommend buying it.

I was at the Celtic game yesterday afternoon.Not a good result for them against Motherwell which ended in a 0-0 draw.They were the better team but the finishing was really poor, now down to 2nd in the league.

A few days ago i watched Pokerstars.com Million D0llar Challenge which wss a great show.The contestant was a priest which just made it really funny.He actually brought out the rosary beads at one point which was crazy.He did manage to win the $100k which i don't how he did it as he kinda sucked, no offense Father lol.Basically the show consits of three sections.Firstly you play a celebrity who Daniel sits beside you but doesn't know your cards or opponents.Then the next match is against a Team Pokerstars Pro which Daniel then goes to a private room and can see his team mates cards on a tv screen but can't see opponents so he can help them, the catch is that the opponent can hit a button twice during the game to turn Daniels chat off with team mate.Lastly if they make it this far and decide to not take the $25k Daniel now becomes an enemy and the team mate now faces him to try to win $100k.Anyone who wins the $100k goes on to play in a final table for $1 million.Great show i usually watch it on Pokertube.com as i don't have Fox

Done a small workout today some press ups and sit ups and nice walk.Plan on doing a few more during the week, maybe even a run along with my wii fit challenge.

So a long blog there, i should do one in a few days again.Plan this week is tomorrow might be going out for a few hours to some little thing then train on wii and Tuesday need to go down JobCentre and then swimming at night time.Wednesday might go for run and train on wii, maybe watch football at night, Thursday i will just chill out mostly and watch Celtic game at night and then Friday will just chill out and then the weekend should be pretty busy with football and X factor.

X Factor:

Well i am going to have a blog about the X Factor.I wasn't a fan on the auditions going on a live show as it ruined the small little room where the people go and perform in front of judges but that being said i thought the live auditions where better than i thought.I thought Boot Camp was interesting and then the judges houses was fun and exciting.The live shows have been great but the sad bit is Kandy Rain went out last week which was a gutter.That was my favourite group and i thought they performed well, okay not the best singing but it was good and they are only getting judged on the other side of things which i think is complete rubbish i do not see anything wrong with being pole dancers, it's a job like any other imo.So sad to see them go but they done a good enough job, well done girls.I had a bet on them for £3 and would have won just over £150 but not to be.I am now rooting for Stacey Solomon who i have another bet on with odds of 5/1 i stuck £2 on and will hopefully receive £10 back.So the results tonight here is what i think of each act:

John and Edward- very entertaining but should not be on this show, there a bit embarrasing
Miss Frank- not the best singers but good enough and should survive another few weeks
Lucie Jones- just too average for me and she is not hitting the high notes
Stacey Solomon- very good singer, she will go far
Joe McElderry- yeah i like this guys voice, as ben said he is a dark horse
Rachel Adedeji - not a big fan of her, could be in trouble tonight
Lloyd Daniels- Cheryl mucked up big time for this lad but should survive as girls will like him
Danyl Johnson- never close to his first audition, he is going to struggle the next couple of weeks
Rikki Loney- decent singer but not going to win it unless improvements happen soon
Ollie Murs- bad song choice and singing last night, although the crowd like him so should be safe
Jamie Archer- sang great last night and he is looking like one of favourites to win

Now back home from Berwick Upon Tweed which was quite good.I went with my family Monday to Friday so a good few days away.the caravan was okay considering we got small one as my dog came too, they where pretty small but most caravans are lol.Basically i just drank most nights, yes the good old vodka and during the day i went good 30 min walks to the town centre with some shops and on route was a somerfield.I went to that on first night at around 6 ish to pick up some stuff.It seemed like a great walk that one for some reason, i also went down the beach and went to amusements a few times and one day went swimming in the indoor pool.At night i went for meals at a pub/restaurant called WeatherSpoones, which i had a lovely chicken korma one night and chicken tika the other.Then i stayed in the caravan a bit and watched three movies i brought down:
1) The Incredibles
2) Switching Goals
3)How High
I played a few board games like Cluedo and Monopoly as well with my family which was pretty cool.Good to be back though.

Just to let you guys know my Poker Challenge is delayed until next year here is my statement:
hi guys
just letting every1 know on here that my challenge is going to be delayed until next year(2010) sometime, any1 who is on my list will stay on it unless they request to come off and i will put up another post on here next year.Same rules will apply.It will be roughly February to April

So apart from my Poker Challenge not played poker at all lately really, still waiting on my pokerstars account getting fixed.I intend to play a good bit of live poker before the year ends.Hopefully play at least 4-5 live games if i can.

Back home now for a couple of hours, just catching up on tv stuff- X Factor, WSOP episodes and Goldenballs.I plan on also doing a small workout at home tonight which will roughly last 20 mins.
