Exhaustion As I Hit The 1/8th Mark… And Lindsay Lohan’s In Trouble Again
My eyes are barely open at the moment. I didn’t arrive home from work today until 10 PM and spent a little bit of time with Lisa and hit the gym for only an hour because I am totally spent.
On the good side, apparently I play online poker well totally exhausted because I was able to bring my WSOP bankroll to $253.42, a +$18.99 increase today. And I only played for 30 minutes tops. That puts my 1/8 of the way there in about 30 days. I am 9 days ahead of schedule and have had just 2 losing days since starting my endeavor and 2 losing days since blogging. That’s 8 winning days and 2 losing days… not too bad. Throw in the days pre-blog and I’m 90% winning days and $45 ahead of target.
Looks like if you put a chunk of money on the arrest of teen celebrities, Lindsay Lohan (technically no longer a teen) just cost you a notch by getting arrested a week early. Lohan was arrested Tuesday for DUI, driving with a suspended license and cocaine possession. Lohan later denied the charges but in the court of public opinion, I’m sure this isn’t going to help her 2nd movie of the summer coming this Friday. You know the movie that is not The Simpsons Movie.
Game 2 of the Beckham ERA in LA went off… and no Beckham. Sadly, the LA fans will just enjoy Beckham parading the sidelines. Despite Beckham playing just 1/15th of the first 2 games, ESPN announced that Beckham’s debut was the highest rated soccer game ever televised on ESPN. 1.5 million people watched the 1-0 loss that had Beckham appear for 12 minutes.
Finally, one of my favorite baseball players announced that he was retiring… then turned around and hit a grand slam. Astros’ Craig Biggio announced he was retiring at the end of the season. Biggio has 3000 hits and he’s the only player in major league history with 600 doubles, 250 HRs, 3000 hits and 400 steals. He’s a 7-time all-star and played numerous positions including catcher despite mostly being a second baseman. Biggio might be the most underrated player due to his under-the-radar workman-like effort. He made the playoffs four times and the World Series once.
If Biggio ain’t a Hall Of Famer on the first ballot, I know nothing about baseball.
