Table for six

Oliver's tip of the day: If you have a blog, windowslivewriter is a great tool for writing entries. You don't have to go to your website to write it. You just open the writer, make your entry and hit publish. It's a lot faster and easier.

 

I will give $10 to anyone who emails me the mp3 of 'bad kids,' by the black lips. The offer is extended to anyone who tell me where I can find it, and I end up with it. As of today, you can't download it from itunes, napster, utorrent, or any other file sharing programs (not that I would..)

 

I was in the queue in subway today and there was an american couple in front of me. They took ages to get their sandwiches, but hearing them say 'water,' made up for it. I shouldn't laugh at that because when I went to Fiji, I hung out with some australians who made fun of the way I said fish&chips. Luckily I never had to say six...

 

One more exam..I don't care anymore, I'm playing poker tonight. Sorry for the bloggy entry. Randomness to be featured next episode.

it's snowing

I haven't played poker all week. I also feel like a cigarette. A joint would probably be better but I hate the smell, and I don't want to get a criminal record.

These aren't all the signs I'm stressed, one of my eyes is entirely red on one side. Whoever came up with the idea of saturday exams should be made to run up queen street in the borat swimsuit so they know what the stress is like.

Maybe I should take up yoga...

You may have noticed that this blog's website is now www.netoru.com I did this to increase my popularity since netoru.com is alot easier to type in than the old address. I was thinking about oliverbrierley.com since it's a more permanent thing, but someone already took that.

Bad news though. As I did the search of netoru on google to see if this page came up, I was disappointed. The first page that came up was a list of items I'm selling on trademe (nothing by the way). Then there were a few forum topics in ffgurus from years ago. Another entry actually had the meaning of netoru in japanese...it was a pretty random choice for an internet name so I didn't think it meant anything. The reality is that people who know japanese are going to think I'm a dodgy 'wife stealer,' when they see my name...

But you don't want to hear about all that. What you really want me to talk about is the meaning of asteroid names. I know you want to go through them all, but I'm only going to go into #59001-60000

Comets and asteriods are usually named after the person who discovered them. In 1999, Daniel Matter discovered an asteroid and called it DaniMatter. Is this a really wise thing to do? A comet is a big and usually ugly rock. If it for some reason is headed on a collision course direct with planet Earth, or Mars, people are going to be referring to this comet by name as if it were the enemy. "We will nuke DaniMatter right out of the history books!" "DaniMatter is nothing when up against the human race!" That's what the president will be saying before they blow up DaniMatter and everyone will cheer.

Maybe instead you should name the asteroid after an ex you hate, or an enemy if you have one. (Note: I know I kept interchanging between comet & asteroid, but they're virtually the same thing..)

The God debate is closed now due to too much controversy. Instead, why don't we debate who will win the rugby in the weekend, NZ or Canada? And if you really like controversy...do you forgive Chris Jack for not playing in this crucial match, so he could see his baby be born? This is unforgivable in some peoples eyes.


Since I've figured out how to put youtube videos on here, I will continue to do so

bonjour

Before I start this I have to apologise...

I'm sorry I didn't put a parental advisory label on the entry before last. I forgot this was the internet and anybody could be reading this. For everyone who was offended by the talk about walrus dicks, I'm sorry. By the way, this entry is at least R16, if not R18 or R21 depending on what country you're in. In fact, from now on this whole blog is R16 so I can't be sued by any parents who say I'm not warning people of the content in this blog.

So after sitting a 3hour finance exam, what should I write about? I was going to write about Roquelaure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roquelaure), but I think it's better to write about final fantasy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_fantasy).

Yes, final fantasy is my favourite game..I've played IV, VI and VII to XII. I have to say VII is the best, followed by VII. Most people would say I chose VII because it's the first one I played. That's true, but it doesn't affect my opinion. The relationships between the main characters are probably the deepest out of them all. VII, IV & X are also good games to see good character relationships.

Sorry for all that. It was kind of pointless since I didn't really say anything worthwhile. To reward you, here is a nice video for you to watch..



You might want to know the pool is filled with piss.

When I was 10...

What can I say about 1994 in the United Kingdom? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_in_the_United_Kingdom

That's kind of like asking me who put up those 'God,' billboards. Was it Jesus since he's God's representative on earth? Did they earn the $5000 or whatever it costs to put a billboard up or did he just create it? If he just created it, then he is making NZ's inflation problem even worse. We may become more spiritually enlightened, but we become poorer too.



This reminds me of the first question we studied for 4 weeks in a philosophy class...does God exist? The most powerful argument either way, for me, was that there is so much natural evil in the world (like cancer, floods & whatever else you can think of). A God is benevolent and wouldn't allow this kind of evil and therefore there is no God. It goes a little deeper than that, but you can't prove this argument right or wrong, but I think it's pretty good.

You may be wondering how this relates to 1994 in the United Kingdom..if you go to the wikipedia link up the top, the first event written is "January 14- The Duchess of Kent joins the Roman Catholic Church, the first member of the Royal Family to convert to Catholicism for more than 300 years." That's close enough.

I told alot of people I was on the radio this morning and I said if they wanted to know what for, they would have to read this blog...well I wasn't really on the radio. They do this thing where you can txt in what you did in the weekend and today they encouraged people who listen all the time but don't txt to do it. I decided to and my txt was the first one they read (probably because it was so witty and hilarious). They probably get some kind of royalty for the # of txts sent in, so it was probably just a ploy to get more money, but since they read it out on air, I'm hooked. I'll give them 20c a week...

NOTE: To the people who hog games in the arcade, DON'T BE SUCH FUCKING ASSHOLES!! When I ask if you want to play a game, it means one, not 2 or 3. I'm not waiting around for that long while you do 3 easy songs, then attempt a hard one at the end. And if you use autobass other than to learn a song, you really shouldn't be playing the game..play pinball. I know who you are, and next time you come in, I might put in 10credits so you have to wait 40mins for your games, just to teach you a lesson.

Become a trend setter!

Hello, I know you're all desperate for the WSOP update, or to hear about how my day's going. But first let's talk about Oosik's.

Do you remember when you were a kid and tamagochi came out? Everyone had one and when you asked your parents for one they said no...you felt like an outcast and you probably were. No one would talk about anything else except how old your pet blob was. Either this has happened to you, or you were given tommyguchi, the ripoff import where instead of being a parent of a blob, you had to take care of tommy who could do everything the blob could do. This didn't matter to the other kids because the blob was cool..tommy was a dork. When you finally got the official tamagochi, it didn't matter because now everyone had yo-yo's. You were still an outcast and this would continue until you were 18 and everyone started drinking. Although this 'fad' lifestyle continued with new cars and the latest sex toys, everyone could get along being drunk (except for angry drunks but let's not get into that).

The episode of the simpsons where Bart steals the video game sums this up pretty well.

You don't have to worry about this anymore! I'm here to tell you the next fad so you can save in advance for one, but be in quick because they are in limited supply...

I'm talking about Oosik's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oosik), or walrus penises. These are much more handy than any tamagochi you've had. Apart from the obvious use as a dildo, an Oosik can be used as a handle for things like knives and hammers. I clicked on the related link and found out that raccoon penises are used as good luck charms and can make you fertile. I'm sure that goes for the Oosik as well.

So now you don't have to be an outcast! You can be the 'trend setter,' by being the first in your area with this toy. Be quick though...only native Alaskans' can hunt the walrus, so there will be limited supply. Don't be late and miss out!

I didn't forget, here's the wsop update. Steve Billirakis won the first wsop bracelet winning the $5000 mixed hold 'em event. Since then, Ciarin O'Leary has won the biggest event so far. He knocked off 2,996 players to win the $1500 no limit hold 'em event. He won $727k and some change for his effort. (K-3 was his winning hand btw).
The final table of event 5 looks thrilling. Annie Duke and Chris Ferguson are a couple of pros who made the final table playing omaha/seven-card stud hi-lo eight or better.

Stay tuned for one of the greatest events starting today...event 8, limit hold 'em WITH REBUYS. Celebrities are playing this event as well. (As of writing, Shannon Elizabeth has re-bought the most).


Steve would trade what he's got for this Oosik any day of the week.

5k mixed holdem update

The world series is well underway with only about 30ppl left in the first event. Most of the pros are out..Johnny Chan just got knocked out so you can tell it's getting intense. Enough about poker though, let's talk about Spigga http://myspace.com/spigga

They describe their music as Alternative/Funk/Latin which is probably about right. They play pretty mellow music so it's easy to listen to unless you are pissed off and want to trash your room/break stuff or want to listen to hard rock.

Two of the six songs on myspace are worth a listen; human what and lastnite. If you like these, you might consider downloading a few of their songs from some legitimate programme such itunes or digirama.co.nz

I would give you my review out of 10, but I don't know what the categories should be. Any suggestions?

EDIT: I was considering deleting my last entry but decided not to so I would know what not to post in the future. Don't read it if you haven't yet, it's too depressing.


The picture is Mike Matusow complaining about the new cards...he found them hard to read and lost a hand. He blew up and Phil Gordon became an official (he told him to shut the fuck up).
