I’m sorry…
I’ve neglected you for too long…
2012… I should start writing again…
I used to write random nonsense in blogs…
Now I write random nonsense, usually in 140 characters or less…
I haven’t given myself the opportunity to write anything in a long time…
This changes now…
Goodnight…

Yup
I’ve been neglecting this. I’ll probably keep neglecting it until something profound happens. I think I’ll use it as a vacation blog shortly. Stay tuned.

TWiRTs: This Week in ReTweets 6/25/11
Today’s photo is brought to you by the man himself, Corey Perry aka MVPerry of the Anaheim Ducks.
And here are the tweets you, the readers, felt worthy of an RT for this week:
June 19, 2011: Falling Skies is Walking Dead with Aliens instead of Zombies… - The premier of Falling Skies happened on the 19th, I really enjoyed it, but it literally was Walking Dead w/Aliens…...

(This is a photo of my winning ticket… MONEY!)
Being able to set a date and time to publish a post on tumblr is very advantageous. I started this 6/17, to post early Sunday morning. Let’s see how it turns out. Here’s this week’s edition of This Week in ReTweets:
June 12, 2011: Was going to watch Super 8… but realized it wasn’t about Teemu Selänne....

I didn’t take any photos with my camera this week. So no photos for you… but here is this week’s edition of TWiRTs.
June 5, 2011: @russcundiff @wilko2205 looks like a nice time. - Russ made it out to jolly old England and was able to visit our little buddy Wilko. DSC for life.

Today’s photo was from a 1 year old’s birthday party. Balloon animals were made… this here is Superstar Dino, sippin on some Brisk with an Orange crazy straw… And here is the short list for TWiRT:
May 30, 2011: If you’re not following @tomleykis, what are you waiting for? - If you’re a guy, you should follow Tom Leykis. I grew up listening to this man on talk...

Today’s photo is from my buddy Erik’s 33rd birthday celebration at Medieval Times: Dinner and Tournament. It was a great time trying to get ourselves kicked out of the place… And now, here is the short list of Retweets for this week:
May 24, 2011: Who watches playoff hockey at a baseball game… I do. #WatchAContactSport. - I had a free voucher to go to the Angels vs....
TWiRTs: This Week in ReTweets 5/21/2011
I promised to try to put a photo from the week on each edition of TWiRTs… this was taken during a sneak preview for the reimagined Star Tours. It was fun… but enough of that, here’s the RTs for the week:
May 15, 2011: @missimmons Getting My Hair Done - This was a reply to Power Player Amanda who was wondering if people could still read pager code. The translation was that,...
TWiRTs: This Week in ReTweets 5/14/2011
This week’s edition of This Week in ReTweets is brought to you by the number 11.
May 8, 2011: San Jose vs Detroit… it’s like the Alien vs Predators movie tagline… whoever wins… we lose. - As an Anaheim Duck fan, you really aren’t a fan of conference rivals, and definitely not a fan of the Red Wings… this tagline fit.

At SFO, Waiting for my flight home
No better time then now to blog again. So, 2 days ago, I had a phone interview with Sony Ericsson and an hour later they called me back saying they wanted to do an onsite interview… on Thursday… today! Late notice, but who am I to say no. As a job seeker, got to go where the job is, and this job was smack dab in between San Francisco and San Jose.
I really wasn’t expecting them...
TWiRTs: This Week in ReTweets 5/7/2011
Here’s this exciting edition of This Week in RTs:
May 1, 2011: U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! - Bin Laden dead… ‘nuf said.
May 1, 2011: I’m surprised Twitter hasn’t fail whaled yet. - Twitter was going a mile a minute when news broke out. w/in a minute or 2 my usual feed of maybe 2 or 3 tweets every 5 or 10 minutes flooded with 100’s of tweets.

I didn’t inspire many people this time around, so here’s this week’s edition of TWiRTs:

April 17, 2011: Refs saw Carrie Underwood crying and stopped that fight. - This RT was a direct result of Ducks Ryan Getzlaf fighting Nashville Predators Mike Fisher aka Mr. Carrie Underwood. The refs stopped the fight before any major damage was done.

TWiRTs: This Week in ReTweets
Thought about doing something different with this blog. Since I mainly use Twitter as my form of online expression, and I have ~700 or so followers, I figure why not list the tweets people thought were ReTweet worthy. So here goes nothing. Here’s the first of perhaps many editions of TWiRTs: This Week in ReTweets
Apr 10, 2011: lol, and if the games are shown on NBC, Chris Hansen can do the...
Obligatory monthly blog.
Since the advent of Twitter, my blogging has basically come to a halt. Which is a shame… not that I had important things to say often, but things I had to say were important to me… I suppose. With twitter, it’s tough to recall tweets from the past due to the quantity of my tweets. Most of my tweets or more online conversations rather than epiphanies.
So, here are random thoughts...

"How not to play a big stack" by Vegas Jeff
~100 tables, each Table with 10 players, top two on each table move on to tomorrow’s final round. I was playing superbly, knocked out a few players, dominated the game, bluffed my way into several big pots. Before I knew it, I had over half the chips in play. Kept pushing players to have to play good hands as I kept raising pre flop, I was confident that I’d be moving on… then it...

What now?
It’s the end of January, and I need to get into high gear. I need some self motivation. Going nowhere fast, it’s starting to get unsettling. At this point, I think I’ll just send out my resume to the world and see where it lands. Luckily I’m surviving with savings and unemployment checks. It should last me for awhile… but I don’t want to deplete it. Luckily with...
Time to blog again
My New Years Resolution is to tweet less and to blog more. Is that something you really wanted to hear? I mean, there are 500+ of you following my twitter account, maybe if I tweet less, I’ll lose followers, maybe I’ll gain tumblr followers instead. I’ve been limiting my thoughts to 140 characters or less. I think it’s time to get back on the blog wagon. I used to write...

Heavily interrogated at the Canadian Border...
I was getting the 3rd degree, I had to show them my ticket stub and my hotel reservation. Grilled me as to why the hell would I be in Vancouver and they couldn’t believe that I was such a die hard Ducks fan. They even asked me to name players on the team. The main reason they gave me for the interrogation was my unemployment status and also that I didn’t know anyone in Vancouver....

That’s the map, that’s when and where I’m going. I’ve got destinations. I’ve always wanted to visit/go back to these places. But now I’ve got the problem of not having planned on what exactly I’ll be doing when I get to said places. The only places I’m sure about are Vancouver for a...
My All You Can Jet 2010 adventure. →
Found a great resource for documenting my travels. I’ll try it out, hope its as good as it looks.
I’ve got my plans set from Sept 7th-26th, with stops at San Francisco, Portland, Washington DC, Boston (still need accommodations there), and Seattle (and maybe a day trip to Vancouver). Then from the Sept 27th-Oct 1st, might just say what the heck, and fly to a different destination daily. That would be crazy, wouldn’t it? Then on the 3rd I head to Orlando, and finally on October 6th,...
US tour update
So far I’ve got a place to crash in San Francisco, Portland, and DC… I need a place in NYC, Boston, Orlando, and maybe Seattle, and perhaps Chicago. I figure the toughest one will be Boston, since I don’t think I know anyone who lives out there. If not, I hear Motel 6 is cheap, right? If you don’t know what I’ve got lined up, I’m in for the “All You Can...

So JetBlue is doing an “All You Can Jet” for $499 between Sept. 7 thru Oct. 6th. And I am going to take full advantage of that. Reading about the folks that did this last year, and a lot just slept on the plane. Maybe I’ll do some epic turn around trips and just sleep on the plane as well, who needs a hotel...

Fandom and the internet.
I’ve been thinking about this topic every once in awhile. I find it strange really. Before the net, I’d enjoy television/movies/books/music/sports either alone, or with friends I’ve met the old fashioned way, in person, not online. Discussing TV w/friends, going to concerts, checking out sporting events, all done with friends and family or even solo.
Initially, I’d chat...

End of June report...
So… last I left you, I was up ~$19k for the year… but I took a gigantic hit this month. June was a very unlucky month for Vegas Jeff. Brace yourselves… I dropped $5k… “Holy Shit” you say? Yeah, that is quite the holy shit, isn’t it. But it was never my money to begin with. You can’t win all the time. It wouldn’t be gambling if I could. Sure, I...

I never remember what I do
It’s a good thing I blogged about it though…
2005 - Old Town Pas w/ a bunch of peeps. Got drunk, hungover the next day.
2006 - Dave and Busters Irvine (I think, I’m pretty sure, all I remember is a couple of chilled French Connections and one regular one). Got drunk, hungover the next day.
2007 - Solo Vegas trip (Whatever happened in Vegas…) Got drunk, stayed drunk until...
Twitter fail whale... I hate you.
That’s it, and that’s that. I think I’ll just stick with tumblr until Twitter gets it’s act together. The good thing is that these tumblr posts will be linked to my twitter account. Perhaps it will stop me from posting so many tweets. Perhaps it’ll get me to blog again. I used to blog a lot. Just senseless ramblings for the most part. But now you get more than 140...

End of May earnings...
Might as well put this up tonight while I’m in Vegas. Last tally I was up ~$16k at the end of March, and a “no gambling” goal in April, which I succeeded in doing (if you’re keeping track). For the month of May, I won $3k… so that’s a total of ~$19k. Holy shit huh? On a side note, I don’t have all that cash on me, do you think I’m crazy? Although, I...
3 months off...
So beginning mid June, I will be on a 3 month “vacation”. I put vacation in quotes because it’s unpaid, so yeah. I knew this was coming, and is the major reason why I earned that other “income” doing what I do best. I’ve made enough to compensate for the 3 months off. But now, what should I do with my time off? Let me know. I’d like to hear from you. What...
End of April report
So, a little late on my end of April report. As I left you in March, I was up $16k… and I had also promised that April I would take a break and not play anymore. And I accomplished that mission. Which is weird because I don’t really remember how else I had occupied my time.
Actually the good thing is, after taking the month off, I don’t really feel the urge to scratch the...

End of March earnings...
So it’s the end of March. Last I left you, I was up ~$5,500. Not bad for 2 months work right? Now, what do you think happened for the month of March… I lost it all… or course not. I am Vegas Jeff, right? So how much exactly did I win in the month of March? Well… I tripled it. YES… TRIPLED! Crazy shit huh. In one month, I won… ~$11,000! For 3 months, I’m up...

Casino Adventures
I can truly write a book about the type of people I meet playing Blackjack. But I probably won’t. When I want to have fun, I play at the $5-$25 tables. When I want to make money, I play at the $50-$100 tables. Maybe I should write a book. There have been a lot of interesting people I’ve met at the tables. I’ll think about it.

March has been a roller coaster so far
At the end of Feb I was up 5.5k. Added another 2k at the beginning of the month, then lost it this past weekend. Funny thing about this is I play thinking it was never mine to begin with. I’m still up 5.5k, and if I happen to lose that 5.5k, well… it was never mine to begin with. I can show up to a casino, plop the 5k all on one shot, and if I lose say, oh well, I’m even, or win...
End of February tally.
For the month of February, I’m +~$3k. For the year of 2010, I’m +~$5500. (It’s probably more, but I haven’t tracked the exact amount.) It’s a sickness. Question to you all… Should I stop? Or should I press my luck?
