Tigers lost the World Series last night. I’m disappointed, obviously. But the team’s young and I think they’ll do even better next season.

Nick’s throwing a Halloween party tonight. I don’t think I’m going to, tho. I’m not a big fan of Halloween (I’ve always thought its was stupid) and I’ve got to work tomorrow morning. I dunno. If I don’t go, it’ll be the story of my life: being boring. Ohh well.

And in typical boring Matt fashion, I’ve got nothing else to say

I’m posting this during the World Series because it’s a commercial break. It actually gives me time to put down my Tigers hat, which I’ve been knawning on. Let’s go Tigers.

Pedro finally ponied up on our bet from the Yankees series. He took me to that place on the north end that has the burritos the size of my forearm. It was good. Pedro’s a good guy, it was cool hanging out with him outside of work for once.

Thoughts on the WS: God I hate David Eckstien. Also, Damnit for Granderson tripping in the dirt.

Which brings me to another point, MLB needs to get the season done sooner. I mean, the NBA season start on Tuesday and Hockey’s been going for a week or two. Seriously, have each team play a dozen or so double headers and then the World Series would be over by now.

Also, godfuckingdamnit Fernado Rodney. Godfuckingdamnit.

That’s it for this post, I’m too pissed to post.

I apologize for not posting in a while. I’d like to have some elaborate excuse as to why I’m not posting. But mostly, its just me being lazy. I apologize and I hope I don’t offend any of my readers.

I’ve been playing internet poker still and I’m starting to feel more confident in my hand reading skills, and I’m thinking I am going to goto the casino next month with my folks. Hopefully this time around is better than the last time around.

I’m not going to talk about the Tigers. Or Kenny Roger’s spot, even though it was responsible for the Great Depression.

I love how people break stereotypes. There’s a guy in my class named Vince who looks like a “wigro” and stuff. He’s actually pretty cool and is an Age of Empires freak.

That’s it for now, but I do have a mission for everyone out there in Hoobaland: get on my ass if I don’t post everyday. kthxbai

No post in a while, I apologize. And I blame Civ3. I really need to stop playing that game.

The power adapter on my laptop died, so I had to buy a new one. And rather than buy a replacement from Dell, which would take 2 weeks to get here, I bought a universal one at Office Max. It’s working pretty well, I’m pleased. And it’s designed better that the Dell one, so hopefully it doesn’t die like the offical ones did.

During the week I was sicker than a dog. I actually developed a headache after I wrote my last post that lasted for like 2 days before it went away. I did learn something about myself. Acetaminaphin doesn’t do shit for my sinus headaches.

Class is going well, and my dream for a 4 point is still there. I am really glad I’m back in school. I wish I was back at UMF, but that just wasn’t going to work out.

I’ve got to work this afternoon, so I going to end this post here. Too bad I’m going to miss a big chunk of Game 1 of the world series.

Seriously. I’ve got a middle age couple circling my booth like hawks right now. Like I would really care about their pretenious book clubs and golf outings. I can say this, because the guy is wearing a tweed jacket.

The more I read FJM, the more I realize that I need to read Moneyball. I’m not sure if I agree with everything they say, but atleast they make me laugh while doing it.

I really wish this headcold would go away. Which is why I’m going to hitup Wally World on the way home and get some OJ. And I’m gonna drink the hell outta that shit.

So I think I’m gonna start reading some of Dad’s poker books. I’ve finally gotten over the fact that I sucked bad on Friday and I’m ready start improving. Why, you ask? Well, in November, the folks are going to see Jonny Lang at Soaring Eagle and they offered to let me tag along. Also, there’s a “for fun” tourney at school coming up soon, and I want to school one of the idiots in my class who was saying that he was a good player, lolololol. (The lololololol was added to reinforce my opinion on the idiot.

God, Chiyo is dusty. I need to dust her more often. And if you don’t know what I’m referring to, that probably sounds dirty.

Also, I need to play less Civ 3. For Fucks sake.

So there was a bad typo at the top of the last post, but apparently nobody caught it. Suckers!

Tigers are going to the World Series. To say that I’m geeked about it is an understatement. I was two when this last happened. I will remember that Magglio homer for a while, probably ever.

Classes are going. Ski, the instructor for my Monday class actually showed some humor today, much to the shock of everyone involved. I still want to pop that one kid in mouth.

Beyond that, nothing much else to say. lulz

I swear to God, I think they’re my favorite snake food.

Work was uneventful and boring, which is good. I was in Frozen for the first time in a while, and it reminded me how much I hate working down there. Readers of the Hoobablog will remember me complaining about a coworker last week. She didn’t say squat to me today, which is fine by me. I think she wanted to, but for whatever reason she bite her tongue. Also, Pedro still owes me lunch for doubting the Tigers.

At this point in the blog post, I’d like to send my condolences to the family of Yankees’s pitcher Cory Lidle. I wasn’t a fan of his, but no one deserves to go out like him. I will remember his family, friends and teammates in my prays as they try to cope with this trageity.

Speaking of hard shots, I had a rant setup on why the Tigers wouldn’t want A-rod, and then Steve and Pinko had to go all blogosphere on me and create a Sports Blog for the three of us, entitled Zumaya Shoots, He Scores! I mean, I guess I could retype it, but I’m lazy. You can find the post here

I have an exciting day of excitingness…atude planned for tomorrow. I’m gonna hit the library, do some school work and coding, get Qdoba for lunch, hit Perani’s for bargins on Tigers jersey. Later in the evening, I’m going to setup a WAP at my cousin Jan’s apartment. And she said she will pay me, which is good, ’cause I’m planning on Gambling on Friday (as long as the weather isn’t shitty shitty)

Well, that’s all I got for now. And congrats to the Tigers on another win. I forgot how heart attack inducing Todd Jones save opertunities can be

The Tigers have a 1-0 lead on the A’s now. Which is a good thing. But there’s something about this series that just doesn’t sit well. Not sure what, but there’s something about the A’s that I just don’t like.

That being said, I hope they pull something out.

So I’m running Shadowrun this weekend with Spencer and the guys from UMF. Should go pretty smoothly, regardless of the fact that I have only a couple of days to make an adventure.

There’s a kid in my Wednesday class that I ohh so want to pop in the mouth. The kid’s a moron and has yet to say anything intelligent. Ohh well.

I apologize for the previous part of the post. I’m a bit out of it, and going to lunch helped clear my head and focus for a bit.

I’m so not looking forward to work tonight, but whatever. I’ve got the next two days off, so it’s all good

That’s it. Time to end this trainwreck

I apologize for my lack of updating over the weekend, between work and the Yankees getting Bonderm0wned (more on that later), I forgot. No, this is not the start of a bad habit of not updating, but whatever.

If there is one thing I’ve learned this weekend at work, its that Genesee county has a lot of uglies bitches. I mean, holy shit. The faster I get out of here and onto a place where I can find someone attractive and not-white trash to try to date, the better.

So Hockey season is several days old, and yet, I haven’t watched any hockey. Mainly because I’ve been to obsessed with how the Tigers kicked some New York ass. Did I call it or what? I mean, good pitching beats good hitting anyday. And that idiot Joe Morgan on ESPN is too much of an idiot to realize that the Yankees only had great hitting on paper. I got a warm and fuzzy feeling inside, not only because the Yankees are out of the playoffs, and not only because the Tigers did it, but because heads are going to roll in New York and that Detroit was responsible. To paraphrase Jason, “We made this!”

I got a 79 on a quiz in my one class. Not too happy about that, but hey, what am I gonna do? I’m going to just have to try to kick some more ass on future quizzes and such.

There were a shitton of Marines in panara just now. They were in Dress Uniform, but I think they were undercover. If I were paranoid, I’d suggest that they were monitoring me, bcause I pwn their email. But, I’m not.

Anyway, that’s it for now. My ADD is kicking in and not letting me focus on posting. More later when I can pay attention

I would like to say again that Half life 2 rules, hard. Such a pretty game and the first FPS i’ve enjoyed in a while.

I got the okay from one of my profs today that as long as I got my work done and didn’t distract the rest of class he didn’t care if a) I worked ahead and b) didn’t pay attention to lecture. Which is fine by me, I’ve got the homework for the next couple of weeks done anyway.

Speaking of hard shots, I’ve got a feeling that all of the idiots are going to be gone by the end of the quarter. I mean, I’m basically a freshman all over again so that happens.  Either that or they’ll have to redo this semister, which is fine by me.

And for the record, I’ve missed four points so far. I’m well on my way to a 4.0 this quarter.

Hockey season starts tonight and the Wings first game is tomorrow. You have no idea how pysch’d I am about this.

Beyond that, I have nothing else to say. ….or do I?
