I'd love to update but Erick is fixing my laptop. My life has been incredible and nothing but good news. Clubbing, poker, date life (met more women in last 3 months than last 6 yrs combined), working out, new job, confidence, agh soooo much to disuss but so dont got time! I wanna also say that the teacher career option has been added! I discovered 3 weeks ago that I dont need a math degree to become a match teacher! Looks like my interpersonal communicatons degree is coming in handy :)

update real soon guys

I'm a BELIEVER!

The iphone fucks the sidekick in the asshole SO HARD!


You guys have no idea how much happier I am with this device. Go for the switch and get out of the crap sidekick you type faster on the kick, but by what a small fraction.


Has anyone else made the switch?

killadolphin323: Stupid shit man
killadolphin323: But yeah man video game communities are a plague
killadolphin323: You want to get out before it sinks you in
killadolphin323: People live through the glory
killadolphin323: But in the end
killadolphin323: Are those people gonna be there for you? Fuck NO
killadolphin323: Unless u developed a clsoe relationship
gloriousjohnny: yeah
gloriousjohnny: i met hundreds of people through the games
gloriousjohnny: and most of them really were wastes
gloriousjohnny: the fucked up thing is

gloriousjohnny: tons of those spf5 cats
gloriousjohnny: were just really bad people

killadolphin323: Haha
gloriousjohnny: so you're thinkin smart shit
killadolphin323: Yeah man

killadolphin323: They used their "im white so therefore im better than you" title to belittle us minorities
killadolphin323: You guys wasted ur time mocking us
killadolphin323: But in the end, you guys made us laugh
gloriousjohnny: out of the whole spf5 thing
gloriousjohnny: only a handful of people were worth knowing
gloriousjohnny: mike, rob
gloriousjohnny: uhh
gloriousjohnny: thats it
gloriousjohnny: haha
gloriousjohnny: karl was alright

--------------------------------------- 1:57 am ---------------------------------------
killadolphin323: Dunno rob so I won't say much
killadolphin323: Gerard is good people too
killadolphin323: Look man
killadolphin323: Straight out, im just like Phil Hellmuth
killadolphin323: People see me as a bad person, asshole whatever in the "scene"
killadolphin323: But when they get to know me, they'll realize im a genuine good person with strong values and looks out for people
killadolphin323: Just like Phil Hellmuth, who in real life too isa good person who has strong family values



So yeah if you're one of those ITG/DDR people who wants to continue to know a genuine all around good person who won't cockblock you and will be a good friend to you, then good we don't need to change anything about ourselves. If you want to drop me, then fuck off. I could care less because really, your insults are meaningless since I don't "conform" like majority of you kids did. I value a lot of things in life that most video game players didn't, and that's why I hate 90% of video gamers

I'm bored! And its worse that most of my friends dont share the interests that I'm into. And if they do, they live far, or don't make efforts for it. I'm referring to the following activities:


Country music
Going to a country bar
Playing poker and other styles: Razz, Stud, Omaha etc
Clubbing! (I have a small few but plans always fail and I need good wingmen)
Moshpitting
Beer Festivals
Random trips and getting lost in the road while cranking random music
Extreme Exercises



I'm glad that I have friends who are into MVC2, sports, and other things, but the list mention above is whats bothering me a lot. I hate being the "weird" "un-usual" "faggot (in slang)" etc type of friend in each peer group I am invoved in. I can't bring most of these subjects up without getting a weird look towards me.


What the fuck do I do to find some new set of friends who share some of the common interests. I type "Mexicans into country music" in google search and get NOTHING. Is it that bad!!!! God help me from these boring weekends!

I swear, I really want to update the school stuff, but I'll save that for later since I have a very confident post to share


Many of you may not have known this, but I got me a 2nd job (5th employer lol). This happened after such a depressing summer of working less than 10 functions and going through financial problems! I'm 25, and heavily relying on an inconsistent job. It was time for a change! But with the way the job market was looking, how could a degree-less latino get a job that doesn't deal with service, cutting grass or selling oranges. Hmmm.


Honestly, the whole degree issue has really given me little confidence in the last few years to look for a job that I want! So when people asked me to go look for a job, it's not that easy. I'm a human being who has feelings, so sending me out to look for a job was like a needle in the haystack. And I'm a picky person too since I don't want to ever work for minimum wage and I don't want a regular 9-5 unless it pays damn well. After a serious talk with my youngest brother (who called me a "bum" but in a nice way) and my mom, I decided to check out craigslist and give it a shot. I was sticking around with the hospitality and restaurants at first, but finding very little options. Thing's were'nt looking good. But I asked myself, "Edgar, you keep working in this business, you'll never get out." So I decided, fuck it lets try another area: education. And BAM IT HIT ME!


First ad I that caught my eye was a tutor position for $16-22/hr. I read the qualifications and it was perfect for me. 8 hrs minimum, flexible schedule, get to work with kids in the area. Combine this with my current job, I'm bound to make some good money here. So fuck it, I sent in my online application, and the very next day, I got a phone call interview. Things went well and I was hired. And on my first try! Not only was I begininng to gain hope, I actually felt a lot more confident that this was my first ever job that I've ever applied with NO connections. All my jobs were through connects, so I was feeling good.


So why did I chose this job? Well for one I'm really good at helpin people with math, and I love helping people. Plus its ironic how one of my previous career goals was to become a math teacher. I never took the opportunity to try it out, so I'm going to get a taste of it. Seriously though, this year has been a great year to discover. Again most of this is covered in the school update, but I felt like throwing that in. I


I just started the new job this week and already I'm falling in love with the job. Its like seeing a whole new level of reality. Teacher are VERY VERY underappreciated. And many of the kids in the LAUSD need our help. I really wish I can tutor them all, but those 6 lucky kids will now get a chance to not only have one of their best tutors they will ever encounter, but have a potential role model. These kids have goals and big dreams, but their lack of math skill is whats holding them back. Today I flipped out of my seat as I saw one of my students go from not knowing how to add fractions, to knowing how to add them in less than 2 hrs. My system (which I've always wanted to try ) is actually really good. No joke, but I almost cried because it felt almost equivalent as if you was seeing your very own child take its first baby steps. That's whats happening here. I got 34 hrs to change a kids life, and withing 2 hrs, I'm already making it happen.


Edgar, will this change your mind about becoming a teacher again?
Not at all. teaching and tutoring are 2 completely different things. My heart and soul is really dedicated to professions in the communications area, but I will say this though. Fuck Arnold, our own Governator! Getting rid of after school programs and cutting down school's budgets. He hasn't been to one of these kids houses. I've been to 6, and I have witnessed a lot of reality in there. I can go on a rant, but I'll stay hush for now.

I'm really happy that I got this job though. With Winter/Spring on the way, banquet business will be take a huge surge, and I will be making some good bank. My goal is to take a trip to Europe with my buddies in the summer of 2010 (hopefully I'll be single lol) and live the youth life I should be living. I'm looking forward to making a difference in 6 (possibly more if I choose) kids lives, helping out my family more, build some confidence, enhance my interpersonal communication skills, and start living a good life. Because with all those applied, it could be a lot of help when I apply for an internship where it be at ESPN for the World Series of Poker, LA's #1 country station, or when I study for my personal trainer certification and apply for one. More on that on the "GYM UPDATE" ;)

Ah yes, what a better way to start this blog update than with a bit of poker

I tell you, this sport is very very tough to deal with. You deal with an array of emotions. You go through bad beats, suck outs, beat the craziest odds, win money, lose money, go on tilt, ridicule bad players, etc...

As many of you may know, I loooooooove POKER! Don't believe me? Check out my constant tweets when I am playing it. Televised events make me more excited than a kid going to Disneyland, I can talk about it for hours, I can watch it for hours, heck I can go on and on about my love for it, but I know that will turn you guys off!

Its been 3 years since I fell in love with the game, and believe me I've come a long way. From the very first day when I played and got cheated by some piece of shit FAT GUY, to winning up to $700 in one night, my poker game has vastly improved. Not to sound cocky, but I am pretty damn good and I'm 100% confident that I can beat most of my friends who play it. My reading skills have improved, my discipline is uncanny, and I think like a pro when playing the game. I still get nervous jitters when I enter a casino, but I am able to control those feelings as soon as I sit down on a table. I am able to play 2-7 offsuit (and believe me I have won tons of times with this hand), I don't go all-in crazy on draws, I make mathimatical correct calls, I'm not afraid to bet big when I have a weak hand and know my opponent is weak. OK Edgar shut up lol

The point I'm trying to make, is that if I was to start off with a bankroll of $100,000 dollars, I would be on my way to start a professional poker career. But why haven't I reached this pinnacle? Because of the fucking idiots in the lower limit games!

I initially deposited $50 into a pokerstars online account 4 months ago, and decided to try this online phenomemon. After months of online experience through the facebook poker application, I felt I was ready to make some money. And boy was I off to a good start. My first week, I was up $100 for playing my best and winning when I should have been winning. You can already guess where this is going. For 3 months, I went through so many bad players getting too lucky. I went through a rollercoaster bank roll that went up $100 one night, and down $100 the following night. At one point, I was about to win $500 in a tournament that costed me $12 to enter, but ONE PLAYER played so bad, he ended up beating me in 2 hands where I was a 93% favorite! The guy ended up eliminating me and I went through a long shit talking rant. There are so many bad beats to share, but none was as bad as that one tournament. I ended up winning around $80 when it could have been more. Just 1 month ago, my bankroll depleted to 0.69 cents lol. Why? Cuz of idiots!

You have to understand, when people risk so little, they don't play their best. So when I enter these small 25 cent games, $20 sit-n-go's and other low stake games, its hard to play your best. Yes I have had my share of luck (I held KK and knew my opponent had AA yet I called. He did ended up having AA but I hit a King in the turn. THAT WAS LUCK), but I never rely on it. Even at casino's, I get lady luck doing the impossible and helping out the other player win a hand. I get rewarded for making amazing calls, but I get punished during turns and rivers due to dumb dumb luck! But all the bad beats and suckouts still hasn't stop me from playing this game. I love this game! I'll make this clear to everyone: THIS IS NOT A PHASE! This is nothing like my DDR phase, LAPD Explorer phase, and many others. I can definitely profit from this game! This year alone, I am up maybe $300 from playing poker. Sure I've thrown many hours into it, but the more you play the game, the better of a player you evolve into.

And I'm always looking for small poker nights with friends, but they all live oh so far and I don't have many close ones who are interested. I'm willing to share my wisdom and knowledge to anyone who wants to get good at the game. Like I said, I am pretty damn good and you will not regret playing with me. I still have A LOT to learn, and I kid you not, this game is REALLY REALLY hard to master. For everyone who thinks this game is pure luck, i would like for you to explain how many of the greatest players reach the final table every year at the world series of poker? at the world poker tour? at the aussie millions championship?

People have their doubts on me and I don't blame them. But whenever you want to lay down a high stake battle with me, I gurantee you will have a very hard time. That's why I need $100,000 dollars so that I can play my best, and get rewarded for playing my best! Playing at the world series of poker is a dream of mine, and although winning it is inconceivable, I will continue my love for this game!

I almost forgot to mention, but I am pursuing a communications degree in hopes to get a job at the World Series of Poker or any other televised events. Before you say, "Edgar are you insane?", hang on tight for the school update.

I realized I have a LOOOOT of things to say, post, whine about, blah blah blah and been wanting to blog it out my system...

......but I am Mexican and my lazyness happens to kick in most of the time, so I will be updating little by little. Some entries will be private, most will not. Here we go

So I read my entries for this year, and its been either Top 40 this or small thoughts. I've been twittering a lot in case you all been wondering. Mostly poker, gym and other things. I got so much in my mind. Things like my workout progress, unlucky dating life this year, my passion for poker, being broke, smoking pot, and my school update (Making plans for CSU Fullerton but I've been keeping that on the DL) and other crazy things going on with my life.


But one thing I have been keeping a good eye on, is the friendships I have developed post High school era. Its the little things I've caught that makes a difference beetween a friend, and "that nigga."

I arrived at the Bicycle Casino around 9:30 after hanging out with Jill to see Disney's "UP" (which was an amazing movie btw 9.5/10)


I buy in for the Maximum $40 NL hold em. Blinds are $1/$2. I get seated next to an incredibly stupid loose drunk Mexican who would go all in with almost any 2 cards. He lost $400 in less than 30 minutes! He did get one bad beat. His AA got cracked by a set of 9's. Had to play real tight and trap the guy. I was down to maybe $23 and I limp with KQ suited. Everyone folds and the Mexican guy raises to $15. I re-raised knowing he was going to do that. He shows 74 offsuit. Nothing on the river. 7 ON THE FUCKING TURN!!!!!! Miss the river!

Re-buyed for another $20.
3rd hand in and I'm dealt KQ suited. There was a live straddle so I payed $4 to see the flop. Flop was Ah#h#d. I'm on the button so everyone bets $2. I re-raised all in with my nut flush draw. 4 CALLERS!!!! Turn is blank. River was another heart! Good god YES!. There was a side pot so I couldn't win that :(. Another guy made a smaller flush, so I ranked in over $90 there. The time was almost midnight, and I was contemplating on entering the $40 + 10 charge Midnight tournament. I played a few more hands, with little luck, and decided to do my 1st ever LIVE tournament.

91 players entered
Each player starts with $2000
Blinds start off at 25/25 and is raised every 20 minutes


This is how it went down:
0025hrs
Raises 3x with KQ. 5 callers. Flop 3 kings. I check, one guy raises the pot, I re-raise all in. Everyone folds and the raiser calls. He shows K6. Doubled up


0030 hrs
Limped 35 OS on button and flopped straight. Guy goes all in with flush draw. I call. Rivers a club. Back to 3k.


0057 hrs
I'm back to just under below to what I started.
Guy raises 4x and i call with QT suited. 3 callers. Flopped gave me a flush and there was an Ace in the board. Original raiser raises 700. i ponder and push all in. They all fold.
I have $3475 total
Blinds at 50/100

0119 hrs
Everyone folds to me, the SB. I raise 2x with KK. BB calls. Flop is low cards and guy raises. I smooth call. Turn blank, river Q. Checked all the way hoping to trap. He checked :(. He flopped top pair in the flop with Jack kicker.
I have $4350 total
blinds at 75/150

0130 hrs
Right before we take our first break. I raise 3x with ATen offsuit after 3 limped in. 4 callers including the SB. Flop was rainbow with an Ace in the field, and SB goes all in. I paired my Ace but i haae Ten kicker. It was for 2/3 my stack. I talk to the guy for a bit and he was really smiling. Dimples were visible. He even told me "If you have the Ace, I would call." He went all in on a flush draw before, but he wasn't smiling at that time. He asked what I had and I didnt budge. I thought about it for 2 minutes, and I fold. Player claimed to have bottom 2 pair. I believed him since he looked happy and giddy. Good fold.
1st break with $3900
blinds at 100/200


0143 hrs
I have AK on SB. 4 limpers so I raised 4x. All call. Flop was 3d8s7s. I raised to 750 and one guy pushes all in. Its the same asian guy from the previous hand. I pondered because he limped and called my raise. I put him on a set of 3's. One guy folds JJ. I claim AA. He shows 33. GOOOD FOLD. Again he was smiling too much. His dimples and posture = easy tell. I'm reading good


0149 hrs
I have $2200
Antes are now kicking in
Blinds 100/200


0210 hrs
Officially card dead. I haven't had any good cards besides Aces with mid/low kickers
Moved to new table


0227 hrs
Down to 3BB. Pushed with 78clubs. Big stack calls with Pocket Tens. No luck
28th place



Overall, it costed me $26 to play 5 hrs of poker. That's $5.20/hr. Not too bad since I had lots of fun, and I have REALLY REALLY IMPROVED MY GAME!
