Engaging

So Friday we went to Hoboken and I squared off against a heavy weight. Noticed a girl w/big hair who was a bit sexy.

My boy wanted to holler at her friend so we stopped, then she stepped up to me and said, "I want to dance w/him (me)." We started gettin it in. We exchanged names and I went w/my standard "Ken like the barbie doll." This time she said oh yeah i see that, an asian doll :). She said, "I love your hair" while i noticed her hair was very nice, soft, big & poofy.

We talked and eventually my friend couldn't keep up. I had to entertain two ladies at that point. Found out both were PR and fluent Spanish Speakers. The one interested was in nursing school and patient coordinator (gives patients prescriptions (puts all the patient info in to the computer).

When I went for # she put her hand up. As in engagement ring; however, she told me, "BUT IM NOT MARRIED" SHe lives w/her fiancee and knew him for 5 years. How do we feel about that?

She wanted me to give her my #, everyone knows this doesnt' fly. She started accusing me of haivng a gf. It was really weird. "She is probably really pretty and really smart too."

Eventually that just didn't work out, probably good news because I'm not sure I want to get mixed up in that.

Later we went outside talked to another girl who looked Greek and was a very sexy Brunette. I eventually forgot her name, but she was def feelin me. When we went back in, I asked for her name and she was VERY turned off by my lack of memory. I was immediately dismissed.

On the car ride home after this, I was berated for not hollerin harder at the PR girl, i.e. take her home to my friends place. I feel like maybe I should've done that, but is this really the right thing to do? Do we feel like I would be morally responsible too here? I just picture the other dude being all pissed off and disappointed if he found out (i.e. if i found out about my fiancee). I guess it would still suck if he knew she was out doing things like this, unless they mutually agree (whether written/unwritten) that they can chill w/other people and that the relationship is a bit loose.

Let me know your thoughts (all of my 1 readers haha).

Mur.Mur.Massage

So we went down to Borgata on Saturday for Namrata's and Vandana's bday celebrations. There was plenty of money thrown around for the weekend. I hopped in the ML and cruised down in about 2 hours. We chit chatted and were there in a jif.

We started off checking in and meeting anand in the food court. We picked up some chicken sandwiches at fat burger (these are the best chicken sandwiches anywhere, to me. Just plain chicken breast w/lettuce and tomato), and i was rejected for the first time all weekend by the cashier.

We set our stuff down in our rooms (we split 2 rooms and a suite). Everyone met up in the suite and I followed Rishi & Ridhi down to the tables. We went to Roulette 1st which could've been fun, but I was waiting to play other things. It's too much of a luck game to me.

After a profit by Rishi we went over to Caribbean stud where I profited as well. Unfortunately, Rishi wanted to play BJ and I decided to follow him to a $15 table. We straight up got demolished by a dealer named Francis. At no point did we have any fun. I lost a $25 hand that turned into $75 because I split and doubled down on a dealer's 3. We ended up leaving heavily damaged. We walked around a bit more and I lost some money in poker when I flopped to ppair and got sucked out on as AK caught up.

We went to dinner at Metro; they had some very tasty cranberry bread (I got ripped on for ordering more bread). I also ordered some pasta that was decent, a little watery? We did notice a couple of cute girls sitting at a table near us, but we didn't approach because that's just weird at dinner.

We got ready for the club and unfortunately shelled out $85 each for bottle service. We were walked right in to our table and it was a pretty nice club, not too many people were there yet, but there were people dancing. The music was really good, the DJ did a great job, although there was a lot of dance/techno stuff that we didn't like much.

In the middle of the night I noticed a brunette with captivating eyes as I walked from the dance floor to the table. I was leaning against the railing in front of the table which had no glass below it, so I noticed that same girl come and sit down right below me. She looked up and smiled at me twice so I literally swung below the rail, got up in her grill and told her to dance w/me. Unfortunately she refused, so after asking twice I started giving her a lap dance. I started w/crotch in her face, then turned around. It was good, I think she spanked me a few times haha.

Later I got her up and we enjoyed each other's company. We talked, danced and chilled. I was really vibing with her, got her # really early and maybe should've left her earlier? She told me she was 32 and a masseuse in her home. She kept telling me she was really tired, so I suggested she come up to our room to chill. She quickly denied that attempt and we kept talking.

I think maybe that comment was a mistake. I never really get to invite chicks back to my place since I don't live in NYC and I don't come up w/those situations often in NJ, so it's a damn shame. I kind of got a little giddy to finally use it, so I must've f'd something up there. I even left her twice during the night, the 2nd time she was actually ironically leaving at the same time. She never came back and I thought that was pretty much all I was going to get, although getting the # earlier was key.

The rest of the night went well, Michael Phelps and Jay Sean made an appearance in the club. It was a lot of fun and at night I went to bed around 4AM. I was dead tired!!!!

Check the new Title picture, that's from that night. Poppin Bottles!!!

Feelin the rush

My boy just started talkin about depositing money into an online poker site and that got me feelin the rush to get back online and play more volume. I've been playing sit and go's (tournaments that have a specified number of seats; players take seats and when the seats are filled, the tournament begins. I started playing double up tournies lately which are ones you pay x buy in and y tourney fee. There are 10 people who do this, so the 5 people with chips left win 2x. I've been doing fairly well lately in the lower stake ones; now people are starting to fill stakes a bit higher, so I'm trying to dominate those. They usualyl take about an hour and 10 minutes, so the per hour rate is kind of low.

I started playing cash games again because it kind of intersts me. Cash games allow you to limp/call/raise w/suited connectors hoping to hit a big flop and take a lot of money from monster pre-flop hands. In tournaments, I rarely do this unless I'm in position.

Anyway, the friend played on my bodog account for a while, and now put some money into full tilt to try his luck. I am definitely down to play and have been outside of work for the past couple days. I've been up generally and have a decent strategy going into the double ups. I've crushed turbo and superturbo tournies (max 2 tabling, I am starting to 3 table but adding a slow tourney for the 3rd so I can concentrate on the turbo/superturbos).

I feel that to win the double ups you must pick your spots only w/premium hands. I fold everything and play position/premium. Then when I get from the 1500 starting stack to around 2400, I shut it down for a bit and get tighter. Only when people start getting eliminated, or I'm in position with a big hand, will I start playing again. I usually just bully people I've targetted as really really passive. I just wait it out and usually cash.

I think my next post will be my journey through poker... See you at the tables!

The New Year

I vowed to change some habits in the new year, and that I have. I've been working a lot harder on CPEs the past couple weeks. Any off time from work, I'll be looking at my cash flows book, or doing an auditing principles training online. So far in 2 weeks I've accumulated 5 CPEs and on chapter 3 of 10.

I've been working on skateboarding; I haven't fallen in a long time (I've fallen off the board, but not off my feet). I skateboarded while gav ran sprints in NYC which was cool. I'm starting to want to do tricks, but I feel like I should practice skating goofy first. Who knows; I've enlisted Chris Lees for help... I just asked him on facebook what I should practice first.

Aside from that I've been going out and trying to be more active, although it hasn't been VERY active. I've had a big opportunity at the mall w/some older chick that I thought was cute but Daigo did not. We were talking for a while in line (it started with "has the line been moving?" and escalated to what days of shopping are good, what kind of deals are good, where she went for vaca. It did not however, escalate to give me your # to hang out sometime. The girl in front of us (w/a kid and wedding ring) was looking at us like longingly and smiling because she knew I was gettin my flirt on. There were only 2 cashiers in the house, so the line was taking a while. I was going to ask for the # when she was on deck for a cashier. I never like getting a number while there's still time to talk... but I need to change this idea because, of course, I did not get it eventually. Right when she was on deck a 3rd associate comes and ruins it for me. I should've gotten it a lot earlier.

Last night I was at the bar w/Reshma and we were there to pick up; unfortunately in Morristown, the college kids were still home, so it was PACKED all over the place. We were at George & Martha's first, Hopper, then Sonas. She's a good sport as she said she'd love to watch me holler... I felt bad at first, but then at Sona's there was a ridiculous girl w/a dime face that was standing near us, so I started talkin to her. Lauren from Denville. Unfortunately, after a loto f talking found out she had a BF. She said he was in Vermont Snowboarding. I said perfect, then she could come over tonight.... HUUUUUUUUUUUH.

I WILL have a blog post about something outside of my life soon.

Happy NEW YEAR!!!!

For the past couple weeks I had been talking to Lucinda (changed name) and have been hoping to meet up with each other that night; she had told me her friend's #1 goal was to get Lucinda a kiss on new year's eve. I'm not sure how I should approach this; should I brush it off like i don't care, or should I try to hit the nail on the head and say that's gonna be me? I chose the prior, just brushing it off like that's a good friend.

Well, I went to Toronto and hadn't made plans, so when I got back, she had already made plans that night before. She was going to some party; I was disappointed as she had not "included" me in her NYE kiss plans, but I also did realize that it was mostly my fault; if I had made plans, she would've just gone and hung w/me (i'm fairly sure).

She did end up inviting me to go; she got my email and sent me the details; there were still tickets. I wasn't sure if she was giving me the pity invite; I know you're not supposed to change your plans for a girl if she offers, or else it "sets a precedent" for the future. Translation: you don't want her walking all over your in the future. I politely declined, saying I had to go to the other party w/my friend stuti (also made up).

The day of I was texting back and forth w/Lucinda and making sure we were out; she had some dress malfunctions, and made it out a bit late cuz her friend went over to help her and the POWER WENT OUT WHILE SHE WAS IN THE ELEVATOR!!!! Can you believe it? If I ever got stuck in an elevator i'd be so tilted!!!

Anyway, I went into the city kind of early to meet up w/G&N. I was deciding on what to wear and settled on my french cuffed white shirt w/pink windows, my new grey tie w/shields and diagonal wide thin stripes, all under my white cloth dress up vest. I rocked the newer grey dress pants I got last year and my never-worn white leather belt... I was lookin real dapper son.

I chilled at G&Ns, played some rockband and they hooked me up w/the keys in case the late night didn't go well for me. I went over to Stuti's and there were several women and 2 other dudes around. I immediately targeted Susanna as my target; she was a very cute fair skinned-asian. I kind of hovered around and talked w/my friends that I knew that were present.

We eventually left piecemeal; when we got down the elevator, one friend declared she had forgotten something and wanted to go back up to get it; she refused to say waht "something" was. Stuti called her out and said it must be condoms... what everyone else (maybe only me) was thinking. She said nahhhh, and went up. Stuti says, there's condoms in the night stand drawer, and then explained she doesn't have sex anyway, so why was she frontin? Then Susanna said "Yeah no one's been havin sex!!!" (I was hoping to change that).

I waited up for the 3 girls (the girl who went back and her 2 friends (including susanna). We walked across the streets to hail a cab in the sleet; i've never walked slower in my life!!! In the cab, we were gettin more familiar; Susanna lives real close to me in NJ and both of the friends had been in Rutgers Masters; Susanna was to be a dentist.

We arrived at 30/Madison and went up the elevator to the 4th floor w/some other attractive girls (they went to 9). The elevator door opened to REVEAL A DOOR???? I thought it was a joke the party throwers played, but when we opened the door, sure enough, it was an apt (in hindsite it was a loft, I never had been to one where the apartment is literally the entire floor).

The party was littered w/people, and very attractive ladies. We put the liquor down and started chillin. Stuti actually was tryin to get me to dance w/Susanna, I guess people love the asian connection. I tried to meager results... she kind of didn't give me any sort of vibe or contact, so I gave up quickly. I think i need to be more confident when I step up to attractive girls, and I need to do it immediately. I tend to hover if not, and girls can sniff out 0 confidence.

Jennifer had texted me close to midnight to see where I was as she was going to meet up. I texted HNY to her and she didn't respond til 12:30!!! By that time I had gotten a bit tipsy and sat down. Susanna was around, and I patted the armrest; she obliged and sat. I rested my left arm on her lap and put some weight on it. We just chatted for a while; it was then I got her #. SHe told me not to call her, as she only texts... I told her I was used to this. In china, the people don't really like calling either.

Also, a big note on the night, there was a really really attractive short girl (I think her real name was erica). I had been dancing and she was w/a black dude. She said, "damn he's got moves, i'm scared (talking about me)." Her dude said yeah, agreed. I made a mental note and walked up ot her later to ask her for the name and to save me a dance... she was pretty trashed up, so she just made small talk and just wandered off in a stupor... I guess it was a good try.

Later Stuti decided to start falling over due to her level of drunkness. I helped her up and she immediately started throwing herself on me, telling me to take her home and whispering in my ear, tryin to kiss me. I'll admit I hooked it up a couple times, and while we were leaving I was tryin frantically to call over other friends to help me take her home as I didn't want to really hook up w/my friend.

Luckily someone did come "rescue" me and we all went home together; that's after I told the friend she wanted to hook up... I think I kind of regret saying that because I think that friend is not too fond of me anymore... but what am I gonna do... it worked out in my favor. Stuti started getting sick in the cab and we got home just in time for her to get into the bathroom.

I had given up on Lucinda, and that's when Susanna called... she just asked where we were, and to tell me they were goin to antoher bar. I told her I'd call/text if i was gonna meet up. After I hung up, i texted her to ask if I should feel special since she called... she said no... I also called my other friend who was helpin stuti. There goes that.

Lucinda decided to text me after taht, so it was on again. We met in Union square and went to Big Daddy's. Shew as hungry, needed a bathroom and was tired. After we ate, we returned to her place.

This is where things got weird for me. She was in her bedroom, and I kind of felt awkward to go in w/o her telling me to go in. I stayed in the common room. Eventually we just talked about her cats, sat on the bed and didn't hook up. I dunno what happened... i felt really awkward... I think I need to just go for it next time. If I'm invited over, I really need to just realized i'm there for a reason... and it's not cuz i like guys, you nkow?? DAMN IT!!!!!!!

We literally slept together, cuddled/spooned and that's it. 5am to 4PM!!!! It was a happy new year... not as great as it should've been, but still good in it's own way.
