The Number 23
For about a week we had plans on going to see the new Jim Carrey movie , Number 23. I couldn't wait as after viewing the trailers the movie looked realll good. We were laying down talking yesterday my gf and I, she had went on imdb and told me the rating was 3.1/10 which I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Kept telling her she must be kidding and she said "maybe" however she isn't one to lie usually or what I like to call it exagerate :).
Once our friends showed up I decided to go check on imdb and noticed the rating being 7.4/10 so yeah she got me :).
It was the first time we have gone to see a movie on its opening night in a long time. It was packed.
All I can say about the movie is "Brilliance". I absolutely loved it. I knew I would because I am one of the small percentage of people who think Carrey can do other genres then comedy. Some of my favorite movies of all time are Truman Show,Ethernal Sunshine and The Majestic. So I had high expecations. The movie was original and the acting was very good.
I heard a comment after the movie that simply put a grin on my face because I knew it was going to happen someone sitting behind us said" well that sucks Jim Carrey is supposed to make you laugh" my reaction was WTH. What did you expect from this movie, A grinch type story seriously!!!!
Anyways for everyone out there, go see this movie, give it a chance and im sure that 9 out of 10 of you will love it. Which percentage are you :)

Ghostrider review
So we just got back from watching the movie. I went in with expectations of a 7/10 type movie and the recent reviews scared me that the movie was overhyped. All I can say is, the reviews were wrong. The movie was really good in my opinion and in the opinion of the 3 others I went and saw it with. I was surprised at how well Cage representated the Rider and he did a great job.
It was real entertaining and there was alot of funny scenes as well that gave the movie a great mix of action/comedy. Really enjoyed it.
7/10 is about right.
Go and see it and be your own judge!!!

Ghost Rider
Tonight my gf and two of our friends are heading out to watch the Ghostrider movie which we have been anxiously awaiting for a few months now, the ratings have been very tough on the movie so I am hoping that I will enjoy it.
I will let you know later on how things were.

Poker
Like I mentionned in my profile I have been a havid poker player and it has been great times.
There is so many players today that it makes it real easy to get to games anywhere now. I much prefer the live game atmosphere because there is nothing like being in a room with people who are all there for the same reason, come out victorious.
Many would say poker is a game of chance and luck like any other card game, I rather think of it of a game of art. Anybody can win a tournament but the real players are the ones that make money constantly.
I don't think there is many things in this world id rather be doing then a professional poker player maybe something in the sports industry or movies however poker is real close.
For the past few years ive been playing alot of online poker, ive been through many different sites and many ups and downs, lately things have been good for me I finished 2nd of a field of over 500 in a Limit holdem tournament that I had entered by mistake on party poker, and then the same week I finished 7th out of a field over 700.
As for live games I played in a tourney last thursday and didn't fare to well, really was disapointed with the way I performed but it was a bunch of new players, and my strenght is reading others. Next time I am sure I will do much better or at least I hope so.
There will be updates in the future for every tournament I am involved in.
For the last two days my game as been great but real unlucky which has left be shaking my head. Example, tonight I had a AQ flop came down A Q K, I raised 500$ with the pot at that point at 500$, the player calls. Turn J I push all in for 2200 and he had 2400 left and insta called with pocket 9s. Obviously at this point I knew I was ahead but drawing dead as I could envision the 9 hit the river and sure enough it did.
I hate talking about bad beats because most of us experience them on a daily basis however these past two days have been rough so I will take a breather.
Hope you are enjoying the blog and I assure you there will be all kinds of topics.

First post
I have been hearing alot of people lately starting their own blogs, my girlfriend being one of them and I must admit I am real new to this world of so called "Blogs".
I tend to think new things like these are quite annoying as it never seems to stop however somehow I believe this is a pretty good way of writting down your thoughts and sharing ideas with others.
Still unsure of what to write about but not because of a lack of imagination more for a lack of knowing where to start.
Let's start by telling you how life as been for me, since 2005 really my life as been somewhat on a downward spiral. in April of 2005 I was involved in a car accident which first of all had left our car totally disabled but more importantly myself. At first I didn't ever expect it to last as long as it has, but with time ive realized that my life has changed and what's been the most difficult is accepting it.
Im starting to understand and trying to live with it, however it can be hard at times because I feel like there is so many things I would love to do but unable to do them because of it.
Anyways other then that, well my life hasn't been that awful, this january it has been 6 years that Rox and I have been together which isn't a very common thing nowadays.
Also I have reorientated my career life, I will soon be a licensed Financial Advisor/Financial Planner which really I can't wait for. The simple fact of knowing that I could make a difference in peoples lives really gives me the motivation of doing it.
I think as a first post this is kinda boring for most people, however I wanted to start off my telling myself and you guys that life never stops with the bumps in the road you must keep going and try to find your calling, never settle for less then you believe you are.
