you know who you are

there is a poker player here in vegas who is fully convinced in their mind that i am not a good player and they must just hate reading this blog; it is now 34 out of 41 with the win today. i was the one who recommended that they get into poker because they are so bright and have a quick mind for numbers. now, however, no matter what i say, they argue, they belittle, they disagree, they are sure that i will lose. if i were to win 99 out of 100 sessions they say it was luck. i always tell them that they are a good poker player but they have never acknowledged my success. for 16 years now i have won at texas hold-em poker and in that time have had maybe three losing months. out of 192 months i have posted wins in 189 of them and still they don't believe i know how to play the game. why? because i don't play like they do. know people like that? if you don't do something exactly as they do, you must be wrong. this same person once told me that i don't know how to tell a joke. lordy, lordy. (you know who you are...lol)

if i hear another person on tv say "at this point in time" i am going to scream. well, i already do scream at them when they say it. why? because saying "this point in time" shows their ignorance of the english language. it is redundant. you can say, "at this time...." or you could say, "at this point.." and either would be correct but when you combine the two you are saying the same thing twice. no wonder our children speak a form of gobbly gook, they hear it all day long from people who ARE PAID TO SPEAK. jesusfuckingchrist!
