Infomercials and all that

I really need to stop watching such awful television, my most guilty pleasure is watching infomercials when I'm baked or drunk.

The other day, I saw this one, and I was ridiculously close to buying this:



lol.

Spending 40 quid or whatever just because I'm too lazy to chop stuff up. My favourite bit is when he says "Look at this tuna, its boring, stop eating boring tuna and having a boring life. Lets slap and chop, this is an exciting salad, you're gonna have an exciting life".

Haven't been up to much lately, I've really slowed down the amount of poker I play, because I have lost my interest in the game, and coupled with some other interests of mine, I'm struggling to find time to play. I played a few tourneys yday, and broke even. I played the $5r on stars, and was 200/400 when my JJ ran into a short stacker with AA, and then when 320/370 I shoved Q9s on a limped board, and was called by 88, flop came 9sTxJs, turn Xx, river Qx

sigh.

Went to Westfields shopping centre with a friend yesterday, and basically we 'dreamed the dream' by spending the day walking around and window shopping. I hate shopping centres, but I hadn't seen this friend in a while, and he called me asking if I wanted to go Westfields, have a look around, grab a bite to eat etc.

So after a couple of hours of checking out shirts, suits, trainers, jeans, and even furnitures at Next, we went to some all you can eat Chinese buffet place, where after a plate and a half I felt my stomach rumble discontently and decided that unless I want to spend the night on the porcelain I should stop there.

Ended up back at my local pub with my mate, and had a few pints. This pub is probably one of the most boring pubs in London, and doesn't even have sky tv. So we sat there and watched the X-factor whilst moaning about stuff, and lamenting past opportunities. My friend is one of the worst offenders for this, everytime we meet, it kind of leaves me looking at myself introspectively and depressing me tbh. By 9.45pm we were the last people in this pub, and decided that it was best to leave as the night was fail.

On the way home I bumped into another friend, who was completely baked, and we sat under a bus-stop smoking and discussing money making techniques, and global conspiracies. This guy is one of those people that just excites me tbh, whenever I bump into him I get a surge of optimism, and the fact that he is completely bonkers just makes things more interesting. He started by discussing his job, his plans, and then swiftly moved on to tell me about a book he's writing, on work-place motivation and how he was sleeping with some ugly girl from a publishing company with the hope she'll sort something out. He then started talking about global conspiraces, the NWO, something about 2012, and a bunch of other federal conspiraces. Not sure where the conversation went after that, but by the end of it for some reason I had agreed to go out on some double date with some 'not very attractive polish girls', he had a plan for these girls too, i think one of them works in an estate agents, and thats his dream job apparently. Whatever.

We smoked some more, I walked home in the rain, and decided that I needed to be more pro-active in life, stop wasting my time gambling, stop spending so much time on the net, and spending money drinking in my local and get out there and do something.

After eating a hastily made cheese sandwich, I sat down and spent the next 4 hours losing money on pokerstars and watching youtube videos.
