Goodbye Neasden

Howdy guys, I know I’ve been slacking off a little on the blogging and the poker front recently but I’ve had a whole bunch of non poker related stuff going on over the past week or so and haven’t had much time!! 

After most of my 25 years living at my dads, I have finally decided it’s time to take the leap into the big wide world and start to rent my own place! I’m not actually sure how my dad will live without my screams of ”OMG this is so fucking rigged’‘ and ”Motherfucker…………..Mo-th-er-fu-ck-er!!!” at 3.45 in the morning but if you ever happen to read this blog Dad I am only a phone call away, at least you don’t have to worry about me scoffing all the Custard creams anymore!!!!

Almost as much as I will miss the comfort of living at home, I will miss Neasden and the borough of Brent. If you exclude Wembley Stadium, violent muggings and the 7ft  9 inch Somalian guy who drives a Volkswagen Polo *see below*  there isn’t too much Brent is well renown for, however, the familiarity I have with everything and everyone and the love I have for Brent will never die! At some stage in my life I will come back to Neasden and do some work in the community as it’s sad to see places and people with so much potential fail to utilise it!

That being said I am off to Kingston at the start of June, not the Kingston that you’d associate with Jerk Chicken and Reggae, but the one you’d associate with the infamous Oceana nightclub and the home of the mighty AFC Wimbledon. There’s an argument that by renting I am just throwing money up against the wall, but I think in the long term this is definitely for the best!

Our flat isn’t the most glamorous in the world but it will definitely do until we can afford to buy our own home!!!

A few nights ago me and a bunch of pals including Moca, Millz_uk and Donk king1 went to watch Jay Z and Kanye at the O2 arena and that shit was cray!!! I think if you look at every attribute that it takes to be an amazing rapper, there’s a really strong argument for Jay Z to be the best of all time! When they first came on stage I MIGHT, just might have let out an involuntary scream akin to 13 year old girls at a Justin Bieber concert.

 Highlight of the night was definitely when they played N**!!s in Paris 6 times in a row to round up the night, with an insane moshpit in the end which proved to be pretty tough for me despite my clear weight advantage over the majority of the field!

  

Finally!! A bit about Poker!! As I’ve already mentioned, contrary to my promises at the start of the month I haven’t played too much at all in May but I did play in more SCOOP events than I had planned to, with mincashing seeming to be the the main theme!

I was more fortunate in other MTT’s however achieving a couple of decent scores along the way, however I don’t think online MTT’s aree anything I will ever grind religiously after some of the horror tales of variance I hear from friends who play them regularly…..

……..I think I’ll stick to heads up and getting the imaginative, borderline revolutionary insults from Siervos including ” Why don’t you just fucking die”  ”fat” and moron”  I’ll admit I’ve ran pretty good against him recently in the sample I have played against him….so much so that If i continue funding my winnings against him with Mcdonalds I can’t see myself losing the fat anytime soon!

Happy grinding everybody !!!
