2010 A Year In Review
So can't believe that it has came to the end of this year, Christmas was the icing on the cake of another really good year.It's been tough during this year but it's been good for me in ways as it's made me appreciate things more.I will discuss some of the good points and what's been going on this year.
Relationship wise I am single right now, I was seeing a few girls during 2010 just kind of casual things which was okay I guess, it's an interesting one though.I think to be able to date someone and be happy with it you have to like there looks to an extent but personality is very important.I look at it like it's a 'girl friend' just like a mate apart from it's more deep.I prefer going on dates rather than dating usually but I do like certain girls who wear some make up but ain't image worried, they worry about their looks but not personality if that makes sense, I like someone that's just funny and into the same stuff, a bit goofy and over the top.
I also met a lot of new people throughout the year, I worked for 6 months part in something I wasn't keen on doing but decided to do it as a challenge, that was really tough at times but it was good to see people more than double my age give me advice, it's good sometimes coming from an outsider other than your Dad but around his age or older, I seen that I have a oppurtunity to make something happen and I don't want to be that guy in 20 years time with a boring job, I'm not really one for that anyway, the way I see it is why work if you don't enjoy your job ! I guess some people like money though but I find happiness is way more important, it's a little bit different for people with families I suppose.
It's been an incredible journey for pop sensation Justin Bieber, he was just getting very big at end of last year and now it's increbile, he is a very talented kid for his age and he has haters out there but he doesn't care and I respect that.I have read up on a lot of stuff and his friends say it's not what it's made out to be.I think it's tough but worth it, it must be tough at that age though cause you miss out on some stuff like hanging with friends and dating girls, don't get me wrong he can still do those things but it must be very awkward for him cause he is so public eye, on the whole but it's a dream come true and I think he deserved it all.
I loved this years X Factor, Cher was really something special, she had the whole package and I thought she deserved to win, Matt captured the public the best though and he was very consistent so maybe it was meant to be.It's an amazing show though and something I love to watch, I don't just enjoy watching it, I find it a good conversation topic, a lot of people you don't expect to watch it actually do, believe me.
I haven't really had much trips away this year but I did get to Newcastle and Berwick.They are both pretty near each other, 1 trip I was myself which was Newcastle, that was a lot of fun even though it was a couple of days, a few people messaged me to hang out with them there but I didn't have the time as I was only there for 2 days, I went to cinema and got something to eat at subway and went and saw football ground.I quite enjoy my own company at times, I enjoy big groups too, I like both, I'm happy doing things myself, with a few people or with a lot.I don't find it awkward going around yourself at all, it's actually good in a way cause you speak to people and it's a good way to meet.My family holiday was fun, I really enjoyed the traveling down, I was updating on my fone where I was and I said having a McDonalds and got loads of replies saying 'oh your so lucky'.I was only there for a day and arrived home on the Tuesday night, that train journey was literally 'First Class'.
So 2011 I am really looking forward to just going to take it as it comes, I am down in London and hopefully some other places in England, I might be going to Canada and America too but more of that later
It's great to have reached 10,000 followers, I'm pretty happy with that but I would like to reach 1 million 1 day, I like chatting to people on there and there is a lot of interesting people out there, thanks if you follow me or subscribe to my youtube.
Also going to try and concentrate on acting a lot this year, it's a big passion of mine and I feel I am a correct stage of my life to pursue something like that.I know there is different ways to go about it so I am thinking a lot about it and deciding which steps suit me.
Hope you had a good year and all the best for the new year.

Reflecting on year 2010
Been a very weird year for me, I have found it tough.I started making youtube videos at the very end of 2009 and I just made them for fun.A few friends and family started liking them so I made a few more and promoted them.I done really well at that but I spent so much time trying instead of letting it come natural, it made my mind not balanced cause when I was coming on the internet it was more like a chore than a fun activity.I have got a little wiser and spoke to my family and close friends about the situation and I notice that I actually had a small problem, nothing big but I was trying too hard.Not having the internet for over a week opened my eyes in ways I could not imagine.So when people ask for shouts or to kiss me or to even talk to me, I will do it if I feel like it but if I don't I won't cause some of these people didn't want to know me when I didn't have all those followers.I'm starting to figure out a lot.My family are pretty supportive and it helps see things in a clear mind.The last few weeks have been quite blurry.I also see that by not wearing my glasses on the computer it has hurt my eyes a lot and caused headaches so I just going to wear them now.Okay I leave you with a few facts about me.
1) I watch porn
2) I enjoy movies
3) I enjoy music
4) I like girls with big boobs
5) I like earings
6) I like honest people
7) I like poker
8) I'm pretty hardworking
9) I'm an idiot
10) I love Miley Cyrus
Now enjoy the snow if you have it:)

First Step 2 Forever
So a few weeks ago I finished reading 'Justin Bieber:First Step 2 Forever' and I must say it was a great read.He really told us the his life up close and personal.Always been a fan of him since the start and the old saying goes if your nice to people you get rewards.I believe in karma 100 percent, you make your future happen.The reason I thought he got his big break was because he doesn't take criticism bad, he takes it the good way just gets on with it and proves he's good.He reminds me a lot of the way Zac Efron got fame, going from someone nobody knows and within a year the whole world knows you.Some people could just not handle that but other people can.I think it's amazing the oppurtunities he got and as my title say it's only the start for him.
Got a lot of things to do over the next couple of days, plan on having a fun weekend, I might go to laser quest and a club and then another club one of the other nights.Going to watch X Factor too which I am really looking forward to.Good luck Cher Lloyd and One Direction.
Just wanted to say as well how much I enjoyed the Miley Cyrus album, she's gorgeous looking, seems really nice to talk to and is a great singer.I love the song 'Every Rose Has It's Thorn' such a thinking song, sad at parts but you smile at other parts.Love you Miley, if you come to UK hit me up, wink wink

My View On Public Transport
Don't ask me why I have been thinking about this but the last hour I actually was.I was trying to decide which transport use publicly is the most convenient.I now have came up with my ratings of each one.So in order I now give you my favourite public transport.
Plane - By far the quickest, I also love the fact that this can take you anywhere you want in world, prices are pretty good also and some planes even have movies to watch and provide lots of entertainment, nowadays even if you don't pay for first class it's still pretty easy to sit in it.
Black Taxi - Now how cool do these things look from the outside, on the inside it's the same story, lots of space, I love the fact the driver has his safety bit and you can fit a good few people, always pretty quick too, can be costly if your going far but if your drunk or have spare cash on you one day it's totally worth it.
Train - They are very structured which suits me very much.They go fairly fast and the prices are decent, most people also have a train station near them so not much hassle.
Bus - Never been that big on buses, the only thing I like about them is they are still some sort of travel and I do love traveling.Prices are decent and there is bus stations everywhere but they are overcrowed at certain times, not very comfortable and always have that one person who just annoys.Get if you have to and avoid if you don't.
So a brief summary of what I think about each one.At the end of the day it usually depends on where you are going what you get but I feel most people would probably agree with my order, not a lot of debate to be done there.
Just also wanted to say I have no idea what my next blog will be so please tell me through msn, twitter or even send me a message on youtube telling me what I should write up for next time.I will leave my names underneath

Twitter is crazy
Been maybe enjoying twitter a little bit more than usual lately, think it's cause of these X factor tweets and also just one of those things that you get a wee extra buzz off of something.I have tweeted a little more than what I normally do but nothing compared to what I use to.Here is a few reasons why I have calmed down on tweets:
1) I find the winter a more useful time to tweet so since it's just starting I have been out lots
2) I am getting more followers so try to provide more interesting tweets than just go overboard
3) I have a laptop now which means I use it and then leave it on going to do something else
4) I don't want to be in twitter jail like old times lol
5) I just do what I do
Yeah so a few reasons there.I use to tweet like lots and lots but I still tweet a lot just not madness if that makes any sense to you.I have no problem thinking about tweets, I am pretty open and don't really hide much within my life, I generally don't see the point in what people call a public life and then a private life, I think most things should be public and then a little bit of really private stuff should be kept to yourself.The whole point on twitter is to tell people what you are doing and interact so why do some people prefer to just read tweets.I spoke to a few guys about this but still never really understood why they would get any enjoyment out of that.
The way as I have probably said before how I work twitter is I update when busy but when I am on for a little bit I reply to my mentions, dm some people and check a few pages out.If I don't reply back it's not that I am ignoring the tweet just sometimes I can get a lot at certain times of the day and I only read quickly, I mean tbh I only check my mentions from time to time.I find dm a bit pointless since twitter is such a open site but it's still a fun little bit of what makes twitter brilliant.I like the bit you can retweet people's stuff, I usually retweet when I read my timeline, now I follow a lot of people because I feel it's important to follow everyone back and I also follow a few people who's tweets impressed me.I only read my timeline now and then but if I read your tweet on it I usually give it a retweet even if it has nothing to do with what I was thinking about.I think this social networking site will be around for another good few years
I really enjoy reading these people twitter accounts so go follow them if you can:

Been doing a few things lately.Was at Celtic v Aberdeen yesterday and was a great game coming from a Celtic fans point of view, we won 9-0, it was a crazy game people.A sending off for both teams, 9 goals, nearly a fight between players and I nearly got in a fight going out.Okay would be funny if the Aberdeen supporter was reading this but he probably ain't.Me and my grampa who I go to games with passed 4 buses with waiting Aberdeen fans, not having Celtic items on is never the best idea but everyone seemed okay until the very last bus when some idiot blocked us from passing so we kind of bumped him cause he was being a moron, he went sorry mate but that kind of way ready to fight with me so I was kind of ready incase I had to do a Mike Tyson on him, I would have beaten up probably cause this guy looked hard but it just annoys me why somebody is so pissed off like that but then again his team lost 9-0 so pretty embarrassing defeat.Mark McGhee will have to go.Also been going my jogs, I go half of the week but still get up early the other half, I am not a big sleeper, don;t get me wrong I usually get around 7 hours a night but just don't enjoy sleeping when I wake up I can get up pretty easy.The way I see it is you sleep because you have to but that's kind of wasted hours of your life.
I know I have not been putting lately but been pretty busy, I plan to take it lightly and then get back into it again, remember this is just a small hobby and I have no intention of making it a serious one, I enjoy it because it's quite fun but also cause I just do it from time to time
Poker has also taken a backseat but I feel my mindset right now isn't in good shape for poker.Now most people would say hey buddy what's up and think it was something personal but it's actually the opposite, I am really enjoying life like usual but have too many other things on my mind that if I played I would not be fully focused and composed which is why I decide to not currently play.Christmas is a killer for poker, I am not big playing poker in December.That month is suppose to be hectic but in a good way getting presents, going out and then visiting family, poker is a game so more important things come into hand.Another thing which may be a problem for me but I reckon a good thing is I still don't value money at all, I really find it stupid how people can become so concerned with money.After all it's just bits of paper and if you have no money you adapt and if you have lots of money you adapt, you just have fun with what you got, the reason I do the lottery is because I want to beat the odds and think my numbers will do that one day, the money is just a bonus like a pat on the back but winning it means so much more and yes if I won the lotto I would go public about, I would let the world see how proud I was, small chance still but I feel I can get lucky just that once at the game.
To finish off on that money topic here are 5 things I would rather have than $1 million
1) Worldwide fame
2) A kid
3) Good health
4) Happiness
5) My family
Now I find the whole money situation to be this way, you can be like a millionaire without having that money, I mean personally I would say I live near enough to one, I get very lucky and have great support by the people around me.I also get chances to travel and have a lot of cool gadgets at my home and generally I wake up every day feeling pretty blessed.
So I watched X Factor last night.Really enjoyed the show and think the bottom 2 tonight will be Paije and Mary, they where both decent but nah not really that big on them and I don't think the public are too.How funny was the glasses Simon Cowell wore, oh and Louis made a comment about that which was the funniest thing of the night.I put 2 bets on the other day, £10 for Cher and £5 for One Direction so guys vote for them !

X Factor
As I had said in my last blog I would discuss about the best show on tv, that is 'X Factor'
Well just overall this year I have loved the same as last but in different, although Joe wasn't my favourite contestant last year but he was sure near the top I still believe he was the right guy to win.He is honest, great at singing and has the kind of natural personality to shine through with his fans.Now this year it is very close but I have an idea on who I reckon has a good chance of winning.I thought the auditions this year where good, the singing was the same standard as last year and the judges have been pretty cool.I mean Katy Perry and Nicole from the dolls.That's not to even mention the young girl Pixie Lott.
Here is a list of my opinion of the remaining contestants of this years show:
Cher Lloyd - She looks like a popstar, sings like one and has the all round package, she will stay in to the end.
Aiden Grimeshaw - Boring.
Rebecca ferguson - She has a great voice but she is pretty dull to watch, a bit old fashioned.
Wagner Carrilho - Really entertaining to watch but more like a pub singer, the facebook campaign is keeping him alive for a while.
Treyc Cohen - Her spelling of her first name is stupid, she is good singer but doesn't stand out, we don't talk about her during the week.
One Direction - The became close very quick and continue to keep consistent week in week out, only problem they have is a group has never won the show(not even JLS)
Katie Waissel - Decent singer, decent looking but has a great personality, unfortunately most people don't like so she is going to struggle.
Mary Byrne - This is where I think age plays a part, I mean after all age is only a number but I think it depends on the person, you have to be modern and Mary is old school.
Matt Cardle - The girls love him, he has a unique voice and each week I start to like him more, really has a chance to take this one down.
Paije Richardson - What a genuine boy, he has a really good voice and works hard, he wants it badly but are the audience all connecting with him ?
Okay just a few lines each I gave on what I think, just ask me if you have questions on this blog and feel free to share your views.Thanks.
As I had said in my last blog I would discuss about the best show on tv, that is 'X Factor'
Well just overall this year I have loved the same as last but in different, although Joe wasn't my favourite contestant last year but he was sure near the top I still believe he was the right guy to win.He is honest, great at singing and has the kind of natural personality to shine through with his fans.Now this year it is very close but I have an idea on who I reckon has a good chance of winning.I thought the auditions this year where good, the singing was the same standard as last year and the judges have been pretty cool.I mean Katy Perry and Nicole from the dolls.That's not to even mention the young girl Pixie Lott.
Here is a list of my opinion of the remaining contestants of this years show:
Cher Lloyd - She looks like a popstar, sings like one and has the all round package, she will stay in to the end.
Aiden Grimeshaw - Boring.
Rebecca ferguson - She has a great voice but she is pretty dull to watch, a bit old fashioned.
Wagner Carrilho - Really entertaining to watch but more like a pub singer, the facebook campaign is keeping him alive for a while.
Treyc Cohen - Her spelling of her first name is stupid, she is good singer but doesn't stand out, we don't talk about her during the week.
One Direction - The became close very quick and continue to keep consistent week in week out, only problem they have is a group has never won the show(not even JLS)
Katie Waissel - Decent singer, decent looking but has a great personality, unfortunately most people don't like so she is going to struggle.
Mary Byrne - This is where I think age plays a part, I mean after all age is only a number but I think it depends on the person, you have to be modern and Mary is old school.
Matt Cardle - The girls love him, he has a unique voice and each week I start to like him more, really has a chance to take this one down.

Winter
It has been getting really rainy and cold over the last few weeks.I can't complain about winter though so use to the weather seeing as I have lived in Glasgow all my life plus the fact so many good holiday type days over the winter months.Christmas becomes the main one.Now thankfully I don't get excited to a week before which imo is a great thing, I am mostly a present guy, I don't think too much about the future and very little about the past.Now it is still obvious that is has drawbacks as I don't plan the years ahead.I am very well organised as everyone who knows me would say but it is very short term planned but that's just the way my mind works, why plan 4 years ahead when you could be dead then, I mean chances are you won't be but you never know so just focus on the year your in.The best bit about November is the relxation it gives, it is always a kind of calmer month before the hectic one arrives.
Been to the cinema today to see a movie called 'Red' which was decent.Top actors with Bruce Willis, Morgan freeman and John Malkovich, the action was pretty intense but I just thought the storyline dragged on a little and it was nothing original, seen to many stuff similiar to that, overall though I rate it 6/10.
Might be making a few trips down to England at the end of year.Nothing is confirmed yet but I would like to go, one may be a concert and the others will just be small trips to places I want to go.I am very fond on England and think the country has so many nice places.If I had to choose though you can't beat London that place rocks, oh if we are choosing accents though got to be Geordie accent, that's so cool.I am also wanting to go to canada very soon too, not sure if I could get to go end of this year or next summer but I would like to go back, my last time over there was 2002, a long time ago.
Not had a lot of time to relax as I have been out most nights recently, got a lot of work and things to do over the next week then I can maybe have a couple of chill out days which will be nice.If anybody has movies they recommend watching please let me know through twitter or my email addy if you have it.
I have a few songs I would like to share with you that I am enjoying right now:
1) Olly Murs - Thinking Of Me
2) Devlin - Runaway
3) Fugative - This Time Round
Just to go into music while I am on the topic, I really liked the new songs Fugative brought out on his mixtape, he was pretty quiet for a while but just shows how hard he has been working and considering the guy is only 16 years old he has a very good mind and energy for his age.I could see this guy becoming worldwide if he is managed correctly, it will still be tough but it is possible, I heard rumours about him going to Japan, that is awesome, they have heated toilet seats there.Olly Murs has some catchy songs out, very average but they have that beat that makes you listen a lot, I like Olly think he's very relatable to a lot of people, like the most normal guy out, I think certain people are good being normal and certain people are good being different.It very much depends on the person but as long as you be yourself that's the main thing.Just to finish I seen a documentary on a band called 'The Wanted' who are becoming pretty big in Britain, basically they are the boyband version of 'The Saturdays' it's the same people behind them from what I read, they have a few good songs and I can't see them being better than JLS but they are good enough and I am happy they got a breakthrough.
Okay time to go a jog with my friend, I will do a blog about X Factor soon so keep tuned.

Happy Boy
So been going pretty good as usual lately.Been fairly busy so I will just talk about some of the things that come to mind.
Okay a bit of a boring subject but like I have to say this, how cold has it got over the past few weeks, it went from pretty mild to really really cold.I have always enjoyed the winter more than summer, don't get me wrong still love the summer but winter offers more events like Christmas, New Year and various others whicbh summer lacks.Plus it gives me more time to catch up on indoor activities.
Tv has been a thing I don't do enough of, I just watch very little each week, I watch 'The Inbetweeners' when it is on and also 'X Factor' apart from that I watch nothing.I know the type of person I am is quite active and prefer talking to people whether it's going out, on the mobile or through social networking, but I do still enjoy watching films.I love it lots cause I would say in a month excluding the cinema I watch maybe 1 movie so it makes it really enjoyable, I am more of a music guy but films are still a huge impact for me.I went to see 'The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud' such a great movie and you feel for characters in it.Thought Zac Efron was amazing as an actor, he is very talented individual and considering he is only 22/23 he is world class, thought the little boy was quite good, a cheeky wee guy.The girl who Charlie falls for was pretty good actress too, I noticed her from something else but not sure what.I will try to find out later.
Been playing Pes 2011 lately, played a couple of online games and loved it, they have really altered it and now it basically feels like your playing at home against the computer, a big up for the guys who make it.I tried Fifa today at a shopping centre called 'The Fort' which is probably the best shopping centre in Scotland, I mean outdoors, variety of shops and only been going a few years, so yeah Fifa was so similiar to last years that I can't believe people are buying it.Some people have told me yeah it's a lot more realistic, okay now I really don't get it, it is called a video game why would you want it to be exactly like real football, if you want to have a real game of football go out with some friends or people you know and kick a ball about and keep yourself fit, I think comparing a video game to a real football game is just beyond a joke.Dribbling is my top thing at these games and Pes gives me more chance to show that so I'm sticking with Pes.
A couple of cool songs out lately so I suggest you download them from Itunes, here they are:
Jason Derulo - Sky Is The Limit
JLS - Love You More
Katy Perry - Firework
Not sure if you can buy them yet but I am just putting them up incase your interested for when they come out.Okay do another soon again.Time to relax before dinner.

Twitter Has Became So Huge
Okay guys I thought I would write about an important hobby of mine on the internet.That would be twitter.So I open up about it in this blog
First off I just want to say thanks for everyone who follows me and keeps updated with my stuff, I enjoy writing random stuff, topics that I have passion for and just replying to people in general.Be happy with your followers you have and if you get more great if not who really cares.
Twitter is very suited to me in a lot of ways, first off as you probably already know I am quite a random type person, now to tweet anything you want at any given time really meets what I want to do, it allows that freedom to say what you think without crossing the line.I know for a fact when I got it I just tweeted a little but never replied, it took me ages to find out how to do it but I eventually figured out which it was so easy in the end up.
The main goal I have set myself in twitter is to try to reach 1 million followers, now comon what are the chances of that.Like I said though you have to attempt it, so I give shouts lot follow the odd randoms, reply as much as possible and tweet from the heart.If I go for 1 million but only get 20,000 it's still better than 0.A side goal is to connect with people on twitter and I feel I do that well.
The thing that excites me and makes me enjoy it is so many dif discussions are going on at once, now I don't read my timeline much seeing as it is overfull but I just love the way people say 'at pizza hut' and another person goes 'just scored a goal for my team' so many variations of stuff which keeps it alive and busy.
Now for me following people is an important part of the process, it far exceeds replies and RT, if somebody follows you I think it is polite to follow them back.Now people like Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and Lady Gaga obviously can't follow everybody but Justin follows nearly 90,0000 people so he does make that effort, I feel twitter is about connecting with your friends/fans/others and to do that you should make it a friendship.Now I know Daniel Negreanu discussed with me about it earlier and he has a good point.Basically he was he doesn't feel safe about following people he doesn't know in person.Now it was a very good point becuase internet can be dangerous I suppose but being a 19 year old kid you don't see following randoms a bad thing, I think these things are rare and twitter is a very safe place imo.Maybe it is an age thing cause Daniel is 36 and my mum is 46 and they both agreed on same principles.
I like girls a lot seeing as am a guy so twitter is filled with lots and I really enjoy chatting to the girls, see apart from the looks which I love of course they make it more exciting in the way that they are emotional, they get over excited, they are more into internet than guys and finally they just have some fun.
Well back to my twitter now, please tell me your views on this and I have another blog coming your way soon !

My Views On Adult Entertainment
Okay so I said I would do this blog at the start of the year, never had any major plans to do it at any specific time so I had a little think about but my thoughts have basically always been the same on pornography.Firstly I think it should be counted as a job, why ? Well why the hell not.The law is really allowing it so I don't see why people see it as bad in the sense.For example take a look at an animated movie, that is called art, in a funny way I guess this is art.I know people will be against it but job wise I think it is completely fine for someone to work in the idustry.Now for me personally I think it a job that is totally not as glamorous as a lot of people think.The pay is decent, but your under a lot of pressure.You are not really challenging yourself, your doing the same thing over and over again and that's literally ! Now for the world to see you have sex, it's a little bit silly, if I seen someone I knew in one I would actually laugh and it has happened, anyway I won't go into detail on that.Sp to round it off I would like to hear everyones view on this as I think it is fine as a job but just think it's not that good a job considering all the downsides outside the job in itself, you don't see a lot of successful pornstars do you ?
So on a side note, been keeping it smooth, got a trip to Berwick Upon Tweed coming up on Monday for a few days, be cool down there, been once before and pretty much enjoyed it.Good to see it after a year.I am also been really busy learning guitar, I have been playing a couple of months now and it has good points and bad, obviously the good outweigh the bad so yeah learning a great song called 'Teenage Dream' I am looking forward to learning more stuff on guitar.Poker is okay, played a cash game once this month and done bad, made a move with pocket tens thinking he had flush and he had a set of threes.I played pretty poor and I hardly ever say that.People seem to think I have some sort of big ego when it comes to poker, I would say I do to an extent but like I am well disciplined but to be fair I think it's because I love the game so much, if I didn't enjoy it as much maybe I would get bored easily and do some silly stuff.So as a whole I need to work on my game and start putting in hours, I just wish where I stayed more live cash games where available, live is just where I would rather be.I just feel like you achieve more when you play live plus it's more social and personally just suits me better.I would rather get a train go to a casino and sit down.Online is good but there is no entertainment in the way that you feel you are doing a purpose.Online is still good cause I have huge passion and try to read what players have but I am just more into live poker.To finish off with poker these high stakes are becoming crazy.Guys dropping 1 million in a week, now that's what I call sick !
My youtube has not had any video uploads in 2 months.I can explain, okay I made a video only for it to say error and not upload so it didn't allow it up.I was pretty sad but I will do another soon, just hopefully this time it will work, thanks for all who watch, my next will be an interesting topic, I promise.Will also try and do some live chat through Twitcam which is really cool, people can ask chat in the box so I like that and I also like the fact it's live.Cause my youtube videos are usually planned out so I know roughly what I am saying so it's good to talk live, I have done one so far which I done last week and found it exciting, so maybe another on way soon.
Okay I have a few more things to say seeing as I need to do some more blogs more often.Right I have always wondered why I have not been ice skating in like over a year.I use to go sometimes, was never a regular but I did go my fair bit, I actually forgot about it, like even though nobody from my group of people goes anymore it still never came into my brain.I did enjoy iy though even though I was prety crap.I skated a bit too fast and then usually fell once a session, I was never the worst skater in the world I just took it slow to start with and then went to fast for my ability, I will maybe need to go sometime soon again.I liked the skating back in the day, ice is cool to be on, the girls are hot, the music is class, it was something different to do.Just off the record, about girls, if I had to choose whether to see girls in winter time or summer time I would go for winter, I dunno why I just think girls look more attractive in the winter.In general I do prefer winter to summer seeing as you get Christmas and seems to be more stuff off.
Another thing I have thought about a little bit is a game I play with some family called Subbuteo.So i got accused the other night of cheating, I was going to post something on the site bit couldn't find it so let's hope they can see this blog.I have no intention of cheating at all, that ain't my style, now on the other hand I am not going to be kind and say on you go score a goal.If I feel a player is the same ability as myself or above I like to put them off there game by doing small little things, but nothing to do with cheating, if I picked the ball up and threw it into the net now that is cheating but if I moan at the red for a bad decision that is called being passionate and saying what you feel is correct, at the end of the day I feel there has been terrible decisions that if I am quite honest don't even want to think about they are really bad.No ref is being biased though which is good, it's just bad decisions.So my team has done good for the first week and I am thrilled with the performances, only lost a game which was 3-0 but a controversy goal and 2 flukes, it really should have been a draw as both teams were totally level.I do get caught up in the game a bit and can get angry easily at decisions but I try to keep calm if possible.
Time to get back to surfing the net.I hoped you enjoyed reading.Thank you.

So Long Since My Last
It has been a really long time since my last blog, I have been pretty busy lately but also just never had a stand out topic to discuss so when you don't have much time and haven't got any really cool blogs to do you just decide not to do them until something better will come up or you have more free time.Right now this is just a general one about different stuff which has been going on.
Well poker the last month and a half has taken a backseat, I think I have only played an mtt which was the other night, played on Full Tilt a $24 mtt and busted pretty early, now the reason I entered that tourney was due to the slow structure, I am a big fan of slow structure tourneys online but being realistic about it I feel that only high buy in tourneys online should have them, they are very time consuming so there would have to be enough profit to make it worthwhile.Anyway I tried it out since I don't get the oppurtunity to play slow structure online since I am a low/mid stakes player, yeah so it did drag on a bit considering the prize pool they could have started with 3,000 chips instead of 5,000 and still made it 12 min levels.Been watching little bits of poker, got so many episodes of wsop 2010 to still watch, I will need to just make a few days of it cause I am still on day 1d and with just over a month to go I will need to get cracking.Phil Hellmuth entrance scene has got a lot of discussion going, I stick with Phil on the issue and think it is great for poker, only a select few have the team behind them to do stuff like this and Phil is really the only one going out his to do really fun stuff which promote the game and give you some entertainment.I never use to be that big on Phil until I seen the picture of what he was doing and now I see he is actually a cool guy and is making people take up the game, now he does get slagged a lot and the railers are saying he sucks etc, but how can a guy who has the most bracelets in the world suck, don't get me wrong his cash game has leaks but his tournament record is great.If you want to see the video just go onto youtube and type Phil Hellmuth entrance scene wsope 2010 and you will find it, you get a good laugh and as I said before it is great for the game.
Played a few games of bball lately and really enjoy it, I would like to play a bit more but just been playing with my family, the games are really fun, obviously with the dark nights I don't see myself playing anytime soon unless I play indoors but I think the sport is a lot of fun, good exercise and a good game for everyone.I am a fan of the Lakers so hopefully one day I will get to go and watch them, never been to a game before so would be really cool.My top players are probably Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher, Kobe is just unstoppable and I love the way Derek plays the game.I try to play Nba 2010 online as much as possible, will need to start getting a few games in, I am decent at the game but still have lots of room to improve.
Justin Bieber.Does that name stand out to you ? Of course it does, yeah well I think it is great how massive he has became over a short space of time.I am actually going to watch CSI episode he appears in, all these oppurtunities he has got must be a blessing, he got very lucky along the way but it was deserved luck imo.I know a year down the line he won't be as heavily discussed but he will still be big and I suppose he will like the fame to drop a little, he's a cool guy who has helped a lot with the money he has.He kept pretty grounded too whic is an important factor to his success not just as a singer but as a person too.
Okay so I have discussed a couple of things but ain't really told you what I have been doing.Well on friday I went to cinema for first time in ages with my cousin, went to see a movie called 'The Town' which starred Ben Affleck and a whole lot of other good actors, it had Blake Lively from 'Gossip Girl' which I never knew until I looked the film up on wikipedia, she did look really different.The film is about band robbers who the girl she held hostage lives four blocks from Gloansy, Doug decides to get to know her fearing Jem would screw it up and takes her on a date but ends up falling for her.I really think you should go see this movie as it has a lot of action, a bit of sadness, with the odd joke added.Been playing Fifa online a lot recently now I am still a Pes player but just playing Fifa while I am waiting on the new game coming out, been quite fun and I have been winning a lot lately which makes it better.I also been playing a league of subbutteo with my Granda, cousin and uncles, we done a little league, it's just a type of football game which has been around for years, it has been fun although would rather my results had been better, I am still new to this game though and it will take time but I think I would enjoy practicing at it to put the work in, it is something I have been enjoying and I guess if you enjoy something you lose at more often than win you must be passionate about it to some sort of degree.I am going to buy a team and my dad thinks I have a pitch and goals at home so will need to do a search for them.I went to see Celtic at the weekend, not the best of games but we scraped a win which is important.Not much to say on it apart from why not start Samaras who scored a hat trick in the cup game, that was just crazy to have him on the bench.I am really loving the X Factor this year and before I go on about just want to say well done to Joe McElderry finally bringing a song out, I have to say it is catchy and the music video is quite cool so let's hope he gets to number 1.Been watching bootcamp this weekend and this is my pick to win this year.I feel Cherl Lloyd will win it as she is unique, cool sounding voice, determind and gorgeous so with that combination I feel she win go on to win.Cheryl Cole as the mentor is a big boost too, she has this thing about her which she can become very close to someone very quickly, she's like an emotional person but also gets the work done so can't see her failing.I liked the fact that boyband got formed cause they were talented maybe not the best but they deserved a shot.
Okay last thing I am going to talk about is Twitter.It keeps growing and growing but it is a lot of fun, if I am busy I like to just tweet my followers telling them what I have been doing but if I have more time on my laptop or comp I like to reply to people, say some tweets I have on my mind Retweet interesting things, it is a whole lot of fun and it is a great community, I have made friends out of it and it's not like any other social networking site, you really can interact with anyone on it.People post the link to their ustreams as well so you can watch them which is nice cause I like watching them.I need to make one myself soon but that's for another day.I think you can tell what a person is like by what they tweet, Daniel Negreanu said this a few months back and I couldn't agree more, you can tell by what people tweet and how they tweet what sort of person they are, I am not saying you know exactly but you get a sort of idea.

My Birthday And Various Other Stuff Going On
Well yesterday was my birthday and my dogs of course, kind of cool we both share the same birthday just different years, she is now 3 and I am now 19 years old.The years are flying by but I still feel like 10 just like a kid.One thing I have noticed about myslef as each year goes on is how I have more experience in general so some things I give it more thought or I do certain things without needing help.I ain't really the type to grow up fast though, I will always be a kid at heart, I just think if your not it can stop you from having fun, not always but it could.So my birthday was a really fun day, went a drive with my family to the beach and then went to visit the rest of family at night, really busy but fun.I just got bits a pieces as I already received my main present which was my new laptop which is great, this is my first blog using it.Another year lived and it is now my last year as a teen, wow can't believe that one but age is age and that's that.
Poker has been coming on okay, been playing a decent amount.Lately it as been all mtt, I ran deep in a couple of micros just missing out on final tables.I plan for the rest of the month to play a few freerolls and micro/low limits and then I am going to have a crack at medium stakes sats for WCOOP, I love this event and think the structure is really great, this is the biggest online event of the year and I am going to try and be a part of it as my bankroll ain't high enough to enter them so I got paid into one as a birthday treat which I should plan to play this Sunday, not decided which one yet as the schedule is only a few days ahead.I might also play a couple more but it just depends on sat prices and stuff,I will keep you updated either by another blog or through twitter.
I got to go a few weeks ago to a concert, yes that concert was JLS at Hamilton Park.I loved it, they have really good songs and I have been a fan on them since X Factor,I wish they won it.They came 2nd and have been very successful since then and I wish them all the best and to keep doing what there doing.I was reading the paper and they are back in America, they arrived at the airport and looked supercool.Now this other boyband called The Wanted have became big the last month.They got loads of hits on youtube which made them bigger than they already where, I have mixed views on them, I feel they copy JLS a bit too much and are just another boyband but in saying that they seem like a cool bunch of guys and their track 'All Time Low' is actually good, I think I just need to listen to them more so good luck to them.I like Pixie Lott and she is hot and looks like a singer, not the best voice in the world but everything else is there so another girl I have never mentioned before but really like is Eliza Doolittle, her music is unique she has the looks and she works very hard, a great combination and this guy on GMTV performance takes the mick singing it's funny but Eliza is good in the video.I look forward to hearing more from her
I seen Megan Fox modeling today, she looked differnt but still super attractive, I hope she does more of them in thr future and I understand her leave of The Transformers.Sorry I took ages to do another blog, been busy and stuff so will try to do another one soon.

What's Going On
So not been playing a lot of poker recently as I have been even busier than usual, only played like 5 cash games in May and plan on just playing a micro session cash game tonight and then that will be until July.I think I will just be playing once in July too as these too months are very busy, then after that I hope to return to be playing more mtt as I really enjoy the thrills of playing a tourney.
Okay now I am a proud Disney fan and I think most people are.I guess cause my sister watches it all the time I just kinda got hooked myself, I don't watch it all the time but I do record stuff off it and think the shows are aimed at audience at all age which is great.My top 3 are Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and I can't forget The Jonas Brothers.If they ever done a uk concert I would be 1st in line to buy tickets, they guys have awesome songs !
So coming up I will just keep plugging away at Putting, it is coming on good as I am putting the work in, going to try and play more basketball over the next few weeks.I can't believe the World Cup 2010 is just nearly a week away, I hope to watch every game if possible which I doubt I will but I am hoping, really looking forward to it.

The World Cup 2010
Decided to give my views on who I think is favourite to win the World Cup 2010 which is less than 2 weeks away now, I think England are going to win and that is who I plan on putting a bet on.I am going through the teams giving each odds and what I think of them.
England - 5/1 I think they have a great all round team and with Rooney up front and a bit of luck on their side they look destine for semi final or further, this is 1 of the best chances they will ever get.
Spain - 6/1 Very good attacking, have skillful players but only thing that goes against them is winning Euro but still will get far.
Brazil 7/1 The name speaks for itself, the passing and skill of these players will prove too much for most teams, shouldn't have problems until later stages.
Argentina 8/1 Very great team with Messi up front they are going to hurt teams, if they calm down their aggression they will do very well.
Portugal 10/1 This side is underated, they are a dark horse who could win, they have some very good players.
Italy 11/1 This side have a great defence, probably the best but if their strikers don't finish they could struggle in the knockouts.
France 13/1 Good side who play well but I just can't see them reaching the final, they don't have as good a team as they previously did.
Holland 14/1 Great midfield and I like watching them play, will reach the quarters but then fail to command games once there.
Germany 15/1 Hardworking team who have the ability to cause problems, I just don't see it happening this world cup.
Ivory Coast 35/1 Very skillful side, will get through group but then struggle afterwards.
Serbia 37/1 This side has became good recently, if only they had an outstanding player they would do really well.
Cameroon 42/1 This team is a joy to watch but sometimes great football doesn't get you anywhere.
Chile 50/1 Good enough side to get through group but they don't rate highly on my books.
Paraguay 60/1 Decent side which could cause a few upsets, not against Brazil though.
USA 65/1 Work hard, play as a team but something is lacking.
Ghana 70/1 They play pretty good football but will struggle against the top 10.
South Africa 72/1 Obviously the hosting helps but really I'm surprised if they scrape out the groups.
Uruguay 80/1 They like to win but doing it and wanting are 2 different things.
Nigeria 85/1 Some of the football is great, they lack defenders and that will be a problem.
Mexico 95/1 They are not good enough and I see them drawing to many games.
Denmark 100/1 They had a really good side at 1 point but things seem to be going downhill for the Danes.
Greece 130/1 Work to the maximum but skill and ability are lacking, they need more quality.
Korea Republic 150/1 They have a few attackers who are good but this team got lucky to be in this.
Australia 180/1 Have good attackers, they don't seem to rise to occasions though.
Switzerland 200/1 Just your average side, I don't recommend putting a bet on this team.
Japan 260/1 This team done well against England in a friendly but well all know friendlies are different from life changing matches.
Slovakia 350/1 How any1 could put a bet on this team is just being silly, well done on getting there though.
Honduras 500/1 This team I have heard of like once in my life so that probably speaks for itself, bottom in group I am guessing.
Slovenia 600/1 This team don't have any real top players in it so they will be in a for a real test.
Algeria 700/1 I guess they got very lucky, I see them losing every game.
Korea DPR 800/1 Never heard of this team and we all know why.
New Zealand 1200/1 Why the hell are New Zealand in the World Cup, no offence guys.
So that is all the teams and my odds predictions.Let me know if you disagree or have anything else to speak about on this topic.

How Warm Has It Been !
Yeah well I am so amazed by how warm it is, I reckon it must have been over 25 degrees today which for Scotland is pretty insane, I am still sitting in my room at home sweating basically lol, what ever happened to that thing called air condition, I need some of that.
My Putting Sessions throughout the weekdays have went pretty well, been doing as much as possible and I am finding my accuracy is improving a lot, I plan on going to driving range a lot over summer as it has been very warm lately.I prefer putting to driving but I want to improve on the other sides of my games as well, time will tell if I can bring down my handicap a little.
I have been listening to a lot of music lately and really enjoying some of the material produced at this moment in time.Not going to mention songs cause there are so many but if you are sitting at home and have Sky Tv, go to the music channel 'Starz' it is worth watching, great music, not a lot of adverts plus people text in so keeps the mind entertained.
Been very busy the last couple of weeks so not been playing my xbox or watching tv, I have so many stuff to catch up on.Glee, High Stakes Poker, Dvd's I ain't watched yet so I plan on getting through it soon.People are saying about this new game called 'Red Dead Redemption 2' from what I hear it is suppose to be a wild wild west version of GTA which for me would be awesome so I will need to check that game out and possibly buy it
Okay if your on twitter let me know what you have been doing lately, I ordered a film called 'Starstruck' so look forward to seeing that for 3rd time.I am enjoying the summer weather and the way girls dress in the summer makes me happy too !

Been very busy the last couple of weeks so not been playing my xbox or watching tv, I have so many stuff to catch up on.Glee, High Stakes Poker, Dvd's I ain't watched yet so I plan on getting through it soon.People are saying about this new game called 'Red Dead Redemption 2' from what I hear it is suppose to be a wild wild west version of GTA which for me would be awesome so I will need to check that game out and possibly buy it
Okay if your on twitter let me know what you have been doing lately, I ordered a film called 'Starstruck' so look forward to seeing that for 3rd time.I am enjoying the summer weather and the way girls dress in the summer makes me happy too !

The Wonderful Life
Yeah so was in Newcastle for a few days, I love it down there, the people are great, lots of things to do and I love how the signs are all in green.As much as I love the colour blue, I still like that little change.The bus down was really good, very quiet on the way there and way back I would say half full, it stops off at Edinburgh then Newcastle and then goes to Hull.So I enjoyed walking around the town, going to the football ground which is a lor bigger than I thought and also going this massive shopping centre.It was a great trip.I also got the chance to see a film called 'Date Night' I would recommend buying it as it is funny and has good actors in it.So back home now enjoying the weekend.
Yeah so yesterday just had a fairly quiet day, caught up on my tv, well not quite as I had other stuff to do a little, but I got to play a few games of Pes, I played poker which I lost my buy in.I have to admit I played poorly, when you are buzzed up and just back a trip maybe poker wasn't a good idea, I was not zoned in and no excuses I played poorly.I also got another round of putting in, a 30 min session this time, I need to start getting into again, I was doing a lot of sessions but then cause of trip I had to miss a few days, I look to play every weekday though and then maybe try going down the driving range to work on the other parts of my game, my putting has improved but could still get a hell of a lot better.At night I watched Britain's Got Talent and then my friend came over for a while which was a laugh.I had planned on watching Amir Khan fight, now I only knew he was fighting at the last min through a magazine interview, I am glad I bought NUTS lol.Basically I thought I would get rest and wake up, my alarm has been not working lately and that didn't happen, so I had to settle for the repeat on itv 1, well least I got 9 hours sleep plus the fight wasn't the best I have seen.
So over the rest of the month will be playing the odd bit of poker but not that much as I am quite busy, going to start this whole new diet.Been working on something for a little while and look ready to start tomorrow.Tonight I will need to check it all out using this cool website, if you want the website just ask me for it through email or something like that.I look to be working on my putting as much as possible to.
Well down to my competition winner Kirsty Malone, I enjoyed chatting with her, very sweet girl and funny.I have sorted out how to use my Blackberry now so if you want to text me or chat dm me and if you are nice enough about asking me I will give you mu number.I need to start doing these blogs more often !

Poker: My Life Story
So it has been a long time since my last blog and I apologize for that.Just whenever I was going to do one i ended up doing something else.So this one will be long as I will interest you in my ups and downs in poker ever since i started playing.
So it all started back in winter 2004.I played some home games with a few friends and I must say i became quickly amazed with the game.So after I played these home games for about 3 months and realized one guys name was called Gus Hansen I took things a little edge further.So a few months on since I first played I seen advertisement for a site called pacific poker.I said to my dad who had taking interest in poker a bit too and I tried the play money games.So I still played the odd home game and got better as I went along, I played all the play money games online.
I kept just playing now and then for quite a long while.I did not take the game very seriously back then, I then watched the movie rounders in 2005 a loved the film.I kept playing on pacific poker just play money and I downloaded Pokerstars but never used it cause i did not like the site back then.
Then came 2006 and that is when I really got into poker.Jamie Gold a guy who was no big superstar of poker, just a guy involved with Hollywood came to wsop main event and beat over 8,000 players to win $12 million and the bracelet.That was big for me, I was a big fan of the system he used, he told the truth about his cards sometimes and lied sometimes, I don't advise doing this though and it is also harder to do now as new rules are out these days.So that whole summer i became very into poker and started playing more online, still play money and read a few articles.I like to read stuff about the game but you can't say oh now I use it, it never works like that, take the advice and use parts but everything must come from the individual.I had a lot of other stuff going on during that year cause I had exams and stuff with school so It took a bit of a back seat but I still played when I could
After i quit school in May 2007, well after a few weeks of playing my new xbox I decided I wanted more out of the game, I wanted to challenge myself and not just keep playing play money but I wanted to try something new.So still on pacific poker and the odd time Ladbrokes and Pokerstars I decided to dedicate a whole summer apart from when I was away on holiday, I decided to dedicate it to poker.So I played 11-12 hours a day for a while 8 weeks or so.I learned so much doing that and I really enjoyed putting in those amount of hours to the game as I loved poker, it can get tough playing that much but I wanted to do if for 2 things mainly
1) To improve my game
2) To see if I actually still enjoy playing it when my whole life was poker
And that was when I knew I really loved the game, after that summer I deposited some money on Pokerstars.I started playing a few sng and worked my roll up a bit.
That whole year I just gradually built my roll up, I didn't play as much as I would have liked to.So the only problem I had which I did not think anything of at the time was Bankroll Management skills.Now it still amazes me to this day how I had never heard this being mentioned, I learned very quickly though that is for sure.So with a bit of a roll built in the low stakes I wasn't really that sure what games to play so I decided to take a shot.I played the Sunday Million which is a weekly tournament on Pokerstars, the biggest weekly tournament.It was a $215 buy in event.So there I was registering really looking forward to playing.It didn't go to plan though I played poorly and my table had solid players so a quick exit.I lost a good chunk of what i built up but still had quite a lot.The money never hurt me when i lost, the only thing that hurt me was when I played badly, I am very competitive so I like to do my best and it annoys me if I don't give my best.
Over 2009 I started playing more regularly on Pokerstars and making several Final Tables and winning some.I manged to knock a Team Pokerstars Pro out of a sat, he is called Victor Ramdin and he pushed with A K suited i insta call with A A and some other guy who was down to last 200 was all in and I won the pot.
2010 has been a okay start.In the green so far this year and I have took a big break this month as I really put in hours last month.Now i rejoin the tables at $0.25/0.50
I leave you with a few tips about playing:
1) to succeed in the game you need to have a disregard for money, kind of natural thing
2) Play games with weaker opponents and you will win mostly, game selection is a big key
3) If you take the game quite serious, keep your money all in the one, don't say here is my poker money and my normal expenses, it's the same thing

The Losing Streaks At Cash Games
Well you know you can't win win win and not lose, it doesn't work like that unless your Patrik Antonius of course lol.Yeah well had a really good start to March in the first week and then 2nd week made a little bit of profit but the last week has been a real bad one.I just haven't been getting good cards and have been put in difficult decisions.All the coin flips have not went in my favour.I only made profit two of the days this week and i had to put hard work into them.I also misclicked my mouse with Pocket Aces to fold, how the hell i done it i dunno but after that i ended my session a bit earlier than planned as i just didn't feel it was correct to play afterwards.So March i am still up but i need to start winning again to build my roll up for next level.I have the bankroll to play the next level but i don't want to play with out a bit more cushioned on as it is a fair jump.I am confident my turn of luck will change in the coming week ahead.I will be playing on Monday again and i just have to keep playing my A game to the best of my ability and focus on winning.Losing is part of the game too though so you just have to be prepared for when you have a few losing sessions in a row.I am enjoying the challenge of playing 6 Max NL, it is a game where you have to be aggressive at certain situations more over a full ring game.
Well just to add the song 'Telephone' by Lady Gaga and Beyonce is super good

What's Going On ?
Been thinking about this, i mean i haven't bought an xbox game in absolute ages so in April i sometime i am either going to buy NBA 10 or Madden 10, a kind of tough one as both games look a killer to play but i will have to base it on price and any special stuff each game holds but i do look forward to playing one, i might buy the other later on in the year as well.I have had previous games of them and i really love some of the things you can do on them like 1 v 1 in NBA and Madden as a good Franchise setup, i like the part where you can manage and play the team.All good fun.
I am going to see Avatar in a few weeks if it is still out at cinema.This film looks like one i would really enjoy and it has been while since i when to cinema.I love the fact that thye spent loads on the whole making of the movie.It has to be seen on 3D though, just a waste of time going to see it on 2D.I know that it is a long movie, maybe round a bout the length of the first Lord Of The Rings but i really enjoy going to the long movies just as long as i have nothing to do that day.Let's hope it is still out !
The fitness is going good, just doing all mu usual stuff and including my putting which going okay, maybe need to put a little more into that.My wii sports coaching has been good, i really feel the workouts on that are tough and improving my body.The coach reccommends different workouts each session ranging from cardio to flexibility to upper body.I enjoy them all, they are challenging but worthwhile imo.I feel better by doing them already and that has only been a few weeks.I have been guided to do 3 45 mins workout sessions which is okay i guess.I also am going to get more into b-ball out the back over the summer.I have a really good hoop out the back garden and i remember last summer i just went out in the morning or during the day asnd just shoot hoops for about an hour or 2, i enjoy that so going to be starting that in the next month or two.

RIP Corey Haim
Yeah was sad news the other day when 80's actor Corey Haim died only aged 38.Their seems to be too many actors dying young these days due to stuff like drugs and that.We do not know yet if he died of a overdose at his mums home who is suffering from cancer or if he died from the flu he was ill from for the last bit of his life.Corey has had a lot of problems with drugs which is sad cause he only started taking cannabis in the set of 'The Lost Boys', he said he smoked a joint there and then later years that led to cocaine which leads to crack.He also took valium which started with 1 and went to 85 he quoted which is a hell of a lot, i dunno how he survived that.But i mean it is just sad that he died so young, i know his best friend another actor named Corey Feldman told him to clean up or he wasn't speaking to him until he did so i think they drifted apart the last few years but they were always best friends.I hope some young people learn from Corey, this may help someone esle out there.I was a big fan of his movies and i know he could not handle the fame, he was a extremely nervous person which he says led to his drugs and stuff.I am going to search youtube just now to hear Corey Feldman on Larry King show talking bout his death.I am going to watch a few more of his movies when i can, i already watched 'The Lost Boys' the other day, i love that film and will try to watch more of his movies soon.

If You Can't Beat Micro Limit Cash Game You Can't Beat Higher
Well i think 90% of the time this is the case.If you can't beat these really small micro stakes cash games you can probably say you won't be able to beat higher.I have moved from 1c/2c up to 25c/50c.I do not play at 25c/50c just now cause i am happy making profit at 10c/20c but i have the bankroll to play at 25c/50c.Now i am going to play a small bit next month of it to see what it is like but mostly will still be playing 10c/20c.There is quite a gap between both as one is at the top end of micro and the other is moving up to low limits.It also has grinders like myself in it more whereas 10c/20c are really soft, saying that though there will still be lots of fish at any low limit cash games.I am not big on given loads of tips out but here is a few obvious ones for playing micro that all the books and magazines suggest
1) bring max to table as it means you can put pressure on shorter stack opponents and let's you not take gambles
2) try to value bet more as a lot of these players will be playing to the river with middle pair and such
3) Rarely bluff as most of these players can't get away from hands easily
Yeah just a few small tips there but i agree with Ivey on that case, you can't take tips in but you can't use everything, you have to think about your own things, different things work differently for everyone
Yeah well i was also at dentist this morning.I only had to get my teeth scaled.Not had a filling in years.I must be looking after my teeth

So really close now to finishing season 2 of the tv show 'Gossip Girl'.The show has been a big hit in America and now is getting bigger and bigger over here.It is basically about a rich neighbourhood in Manhattan which has a host of different types of characters.Now Gossip Girl who you never see is a kind of spy of posts the latest news up on an interent thing, so she really starts all the rumours about people.I have really enjoyed watching the past 2 seasons, i only have 2 episodes left in season 2 and look forward to watching season 3.Oh this might get you interested in it, Lady Gaga appears in season 3.I leave you with a few twitter pages of some of the cast of the show that i found

A Brief One
The cash games on Betfair this week have went fairly good, had a really bad losing day on Tuesday with a few bad beats and dropped around $75 but overall been a good week, especially today where i picked up the straight flush and some guy was slightly on tilt after i had already taken his stack of $45 considering i lost a rebuy when he played pocket queens terribly so i won huge pot there, but anyway overall am up on profit just under $100 this week and will play a little tomorrow but not much
Yeah also watching WSOPE Final Table on Pokertube, is really enjoyable and a lot of great players at the table.I look forward to watching the NBC Heads Up Championship which is currently going on now.
I havn't played Gears of War 2 in a good while but i kind of feel the need to play it again, should do over the weekend.I am a master on chainsaw so just to let you all know you have been warned, the guns well they are out the picture for me lol

An Update on Lifestyle
So sleeping schedule has been going good, i always get recommended but not over and not under which makes me feel really fresh and alert.I usually go during the week at 21:45 to 05:20 and at weekends i go later.It seems to help playing poker when your mind needs to be really alert.I have been playing the cash games as usual mostly on Betfair.This morning i was up on profit but this afternoon was a kind of disaster, not losing money wise i lost the min considering a few bad beats but people talk about nosebleed stakes, well during playing in a cash game in the afternoon i literally had a nosebleed lol.The game had a guy on tilt so it already had a couple on the waiting list so it took a while to get in and then a while after i have a nosebleed and was sat out for while obviously.Oh well i only lost a slight amount, dropped a few dollars but the profit in the morning made up for it, every day is another day.I have a rough guide of how much i expect to make but don't get too caught up in it, just play the cards and players and see what happens, especially with Nl Hold Em it is fairly high varience game.A few memorable hands where when i sat down and 2 guys where all in with my 3rd hand at the table.Aces over kings and guy with aces hit trips for monster pot.Think it was $31.65 he won.Another hand that was weird was guy on tilt pushes i have ace queen so decide to call as i had him covered and as he was tilting, he flips over 10 8 and he hits a 10 on flop, kinda suck but then he actually had a good hand with pocket jacks and i called as he was on tilt still with pocket sixes.I hit quads on flop, that was a big hand for me so i sent the man packing, he still rebought for another a few and then told the railbirds he was off to sleep lol.A few fish out there so got to keep game selection good.Their is still a few good players at 0.10/0.20 but most are average or fish, you can usually tell about someone briefly from their buy in to the table.I will just need to keep playing and learning
A side note on poker, when i have had the chance i have been watching WSOPE and High Stakes poker.HSP is really good and i must say Tom Dwan has really really impressed me on these shows, he can pull bluffs off really well which is difficult thing to do.Hellmuth and the Norwegian guy lost their buy in and Daniel nearly lost his but him and Dwan ran it twice and he caught a 9 on river to give him trips so split pot, Dwan had pocket queens and Negreanu had 7 9 suited and had middle pair on flop and backdoor straight.Now and then i still watch the nosebleed stakes on Full Tilt, God these guys really have huge downswings and upswings, PLO is a higher varience than NLHE and espceially at the stakes they play like 300/600 along those lines, you should watch it cause it is entertaining.MY top 5 in the game right now online would be Cole South Tom Dwan, Phil Ivey(when he is ever on) Patrik Antonious and Phil Galfond, i think Zigmund has too much swings and plays above his bankroll, isildur is a really good player but again bankroll is out the question, tbh a lot of these guys are playing above their level, even Gus Hansen should handle his bankroll better !
Apart from that played a PES Event last week and made Quarter Finals which was okay.I moved up a lot of places so i was at 123rd ranked but now this week 126, not too far off top 64 now, i am confident i will make the Grand Finals again.I go up the park 5 days a week with my dog, well not really a park a rugby field, i do not go at weekends due to teams playing matches but it is nice a quiet during the week and i really enjoy going.I run for a while too so giving me some exercise and the dog.Loads of space, pretty cool for Charley, she loves going.

Gossip Girl
Not a lot of people in the uk watch this show as it has only started to show over here lately.It is a really great show, mostly aimed for teens to watch.It has about 6 main characters in the story along with all the side characters.It has Leighton Meester who is probably the best actress in the tv show but all of them are really good.It is opposite from shows like Eastenders and such.They are mostly wealthy kids from Manhattan who have all the problems like this guy cheated on that girl and a guys dad was doing drugs.Their is 3 seasons, i am currently nearing the end of the 2nd.I watched a few episodes the other day borrowing my sisters dvd's lol.Loved it !
Been watching wsope videos and high stakes poker.They have been great, Gabe Kaplan and Kara Scott host hsp.I like this new song which Timbaland does with Katy Perry 'If We Ever Meet Again'.I played Saints Row 2 yesterday and today with the guys from America and Canada, i was suprised that the amount of girls who play it and are actually good, i thought it was just a guys game, btw for the record i suck.Okay enough said i guess.

A Blog On Poker
So poker has being going okay recently, this month as a whole has been decent, had a good run and bad run.At start of the month i was really up in the cash games mostly on Betfair i was playing but then i hit a few bad beats on the river to have a few losing sessions.I had 5 losing sessions in a row and these had been in the first in a month and a half.I had 3 river bad beats and the other 2 sessions i just did not pick up a hand so basically was a little under my buy in on them.Over the weekend i have played a few and have had a few winning sessions again.
Last night cash game was really good, i was going to playing for 2.5 hours so i bought in for my usual max buy in $20 at $0.10/0.20 stakes on Betfair.I was down a bit at first as i had pockets queens and guy had trips, thankfully i did not lose too much and soon after caught a straightto get me up to $25.SO at the table we had a loose aggressive players, he wasn't that good but he was running really really good, then we had to 2 solid guys at the table, then a tight player and then a fish.I actually go into conversation with the fish, he was quite poor not the worst fish i have seen.I had a nut flush draw on flop and he pushed so i called and caught flush on river, he said 'your a joke' but he was joking around i mean he had top pair and on that board it was an obvious call, but he was more of a sports betting guy so we where just discussing that before he lost his rebuy and left the table.So a guy came in who was quite a poor player, he got too caught up in top pairs and stuff.So i was now up $15 which was okay for 2 hours, but the last half an hour was amazing.A girl came to the table, she bought in for $7 so i already thought sweet, she was on tilt a little too she re raised a lot and people folded.So she re raised me and i just put her on crap tbh so i thought i was slightly ahead and i reraised her all in she called with k 7 and i had pockets twos.We both caught a diamond flush on the turn with hers being a 7 i had double her up.I said to myself i will get that back very soon off her.And that is exactly what i done.I wasn't out to get it back quickly i just knew the way she was playing i had a great chance, i am glad i called that hand as jmy read was correct and it helped me know what she would push with.So not long later she raises and i re raise her with AK, i knew i had her beat she pushed i called, she had AJ so i was in great shape to take all her money at the table.The ace arrived so we both ahd top pair with my kicker being better, she rebought i was really glad that happened, the other quite poor player lost a handso he rebought also but i did not get into many hands with him.But right after the girl rebought im, i had AK suited, she min raises the guy to my right re calls, i re raises to $2 and they both call, the flop comes A 6 K with 2 hearts on board, so i had two pair but the flush draw was out there for someone so i had to make a move fast i put out a bet, the girl re raises, the other guy folds, i push all in and she calls, she had 8 A, the turn comes J and river another J so i won all her money again, she rebought for $20 the max buy also, she then rebought for another $20 and really on tilt this time, some other got the best of her and he was up to $81, i had just left with $61.20, a profit of $40.20, i won nearly all my money coming from that girl on tilt.I was happy with the table i was on as me and the other 2 good players we just kept out of each others way most of time unless we both had a hand and we played.The loose aggressive guy got caught out a few times, he was up to $51 and thne back down to $15 and then away up again, he was running good but he won most of his chips earlier, i got a little off him but we didn't get into a big hand all night.A nice little profit there
I played my dad heads up on saturday there, he doesn't have the mathematical skill and knowledge to understand pot odds and implied pot odds but he mixes it up really well and is hard to read.is problem he has though is he finds it hard to fold top pairs and sometimes middle pairs, it was a good game, i won when i hit trip kings and he bluffed all in.
Been watching wsope which has been enjoyable.I think the whole Hellmuth entrances are great for the game and it should be encouraged.After all poker is a sport imo.Also been watching a few online games on Full Tilt.Now this Isildur guy btw folks is playing on Betfair trying to work his way back up after losing like 4-5 mil, he was beating everyones ass as well but we all knew it was going to happen sooner or later, he was playing above his bankroll which is just stupid.When people who start to get serious about the game they play abover their bankroll go broke and then quickly realize, i have went broke twice like 2 years ago and then went out and bought books and quickly learned bankroll management, you are really setting yourself up to have a 99.7% chance of not going broke.I think thought that the whole Brian Hastings and Brian Townsead incident was out of order if Full Tilt issued those rules to pros and they go against it.I think the suspension of Brian Townshead was very fair.I have nearly finished reading Mike Matusow book for 2nd time, it is mostly aimed at young poker players but anyone can still read it, great book ! Time to watch a few episodes of HIgh Stakes Poker on pokertube

Video Games Are Awesome
I must say some video games really make you feel in a whole new world.I already feel in a whole new world so playing them just takes the piss a bit.Espeically ones that aren't football, i really enjoy playing pes and going to tournaments and stuff but when i am at home as well as playing that now and then i decided to play another game from my rather small collection.I played Saints Row 2 for first time like 5 months and really enjoyed online, a good laugh with some of the guys on it, i forgot to mention i totally sucked at it.What i done was drive in a car and run over people.The reason i did not get out the car was because i would die.Oh and also one game it was 7 v 1 and i was myself how fair was that,.Then the next game it was 10 v 1.Now it is one thing putting a guy who is a master of the game in that position, putting me who plays the game once in a blue moon is a complete joke.Yeah if i got more time to play these games i would but i enjoy them too as it is very rare i play them.GTA 4 i am like a quarter of the way through it, i love playing the mission and enjoy getting to know all the characters, i love how you can get drunk in a game, that makes me laugh, not played it in while but plan on playing some missions later this month.I remember the San Andreas days when i was a very young kid, say about 13.All the guys in the area used to play and we all used to talk about about how we progressed in the game.Now because it was such a special game the majority of people waited until Christmas, now there was me and another guy who where very competetive so we had a goal to complete it first against each other cause we knew the rest would be well behind as we where very very competetive.Now the other thing was he went out and got the game a month and a half before Christmas, that is how much he wanted to win this.He kind of cheated imo lol but it is funny looking back.I thought okay this can't count anymore.But he was going through the game at reasonable speed so when i got it at Christmas i played it like 8 hours a day, i really tried to beat him.I lied that i was near start who he kept taking it easy.I closing in on him but then he started to pick up pace and won, but it was close in the end.It took me like 2-3 weeks to complete it which is pretty hard to do.Now i have had GTA 4 for over a year and look at me lol.I think if i actually had competetion or some sort of bet i would play it loads.If anyone wants to bet on me to complete it in a month i will happlily take you up on that bet.The last game i want to mention is Street Fighter 4.I have always been a street fighter kinda guy over a tekken but i still like tekken.Street Fighter days back at m and d's arcade was really cool, this was back in the ninties when i was a retro big time gamer, not like the games now with all the graphics and that but that doesn't bother me i prefer the older type games as it is more like a game.I have started playing street fighter 4 and loved it, i am actually decent at the game, you need to know 2 things, the characters and the moves, i know the characters and half know the moves so looking forward to playing that again.I might buy NFL 10, that seems a fun game, probably buy it around April time after i play demo.Ah games are really fun sometimes.I will be playing more pes over the next few weeks thought to practice for a tourney
Well aside from that played a mtt this morning and came 3rd, satisfied with that, got unlucky at one point or i would have been the chip leader.Still doubled up a few times though.Going to watch the Celtic game very soon.I put £5 on Celtic to beat Kilmarnock and you can only guess what happened lol.Yeah but i always gamble with money i can afford to lose so that side of things is good and i'm not that emotional if i lose.Money doesn't seem to bother me too much.Yeah it is funny i put that game on cause that is the first time i have been to the bookies since August, i rarely sports bet, you have a small chance of winning, it can still be fun now and then though.Okay got to go and watch a cup match

What's the Latest
Been a kind of average month for me, i always feel the first month of the year is fairly small with nothing much happening.So a few things which have been going on
I got my twitter back which was out for a week for some reason where my twitter played up and ended up following people without me following them, anyway it is all back now so i will be tweeting again, going to use tweetdeck more from my Ipod Touch which is cool, yeah also been using that lately, i mainly use it for going on the internet just to surf, easy to be watching tv while on it if it something not that fun on.I think we should all be buying one !
Poker has been going okay, played a bit this month, the Cash games where really good, on Thursday i was on a heater i hit 2 nut flush and a set, i won about $25 in 1 hour on one of the games cause some guy had a set when i hit flush on river, was a kind of sick pot, i had two pair and since he called on river i was going to fold unless i hit my flush but we ended up having our whole money at the table in the pot along with another guy who we both had covered, me and that guy where dominating the table so it was the big pot to take, he rebought in but then left shortly afterwards.So for the month of February i will be not playing much until the middle of month and then i will start playing cash games and heads up along with the odd mtt so i'll let you know how it goes.The moment came in poker which had never come before, yeah i was bubble boy.It was down to 4 at Final Table and 3 get paid, i had pocket 8's and guy had aces, bye bye.I find it kind of funny that it was the first time ever i was bubble boy, i mean tbh i do not care, i play to win tourneys not to cash so when it always approaches the bubble am usually quite aggressive, i do not play tight but it has worked for me a lot as most players go tight, that time it didn't but i wouldn't have played the hand any different, i was really low and that was just an unlucky spot.I played a $5 mtt this morning but did not cash, might play the bigger field ones on Full Tilt at end of next month.
I got a new album by artist 'Lights' which is really good, if your into electro/pop then i suggest to buy it, she is a Canadian singer who tours with Owl City, they are currently at number 1 in uk and are another good band.
I have had a full tv weekend and more lined up today, i have been watching The Wire, The Inbetweeners on dvd, got through 4 episodes of The Wire and 2 of The inbetweeners and plan on watching a few films from tv today, Prince Charming and Aladdin during the day both on channel 5.Then tonight i will be watching Top Gun which stars Tom Cruise on Itv, now i have heard a lot about this film so hopefully it will be good, i have been going through the whole Tom Cruise film list, i watched Valkyrie last night which was okay and i also have a dvd of Rain Men which i have had for like a year and not watched so i think it might be time
So my tv weekend continues and right now before that i am watching Austrailian Open Final Federer v Murray
