Charity Poker Tournament

2009-03-03T19:50:53Z

Here are the details:

We will be raising money for The Children's Hospital. This is a time of year when they often get neglected and can really use the money.

The satellite games will be held:
Saturday March 7th @ 12 pm AND 7 pm
Saturday March 14th @ 12 pm AND 7 pm
FINAL TABLE on Saturday March 28th @ 7pm

There will be 5 simultaneous games during each session totalling 25 separate games. Each table will start with (hopefully) 10 players.

The Rules:
1) As stated above, each table will start with 10 players. Tables will combine as players are knocked out until there is 1 table left. The last two people standing at that table will advance.
2) Entry is $20 as per last year, which starts each player at $5000 in chips.

Rebuys will be available up to the second blind raise each game and will cost $10 for $3000 in chips. If you have not taken your rebuy by the end of the second round, you can purchase the rebuy as an add on.

3) Entry fee is due on the day of the game(s).
4) Particpants may sign up for more than one game, up to as many as five games.
4) If you sign up for a game and do not cancel or reschedule within 48 hours of the date of the game you are still obligated to pay the entry fee. This will be counted as a donation to the charity.
**EXCEPTION - If you find a replacement player then you are no longer liable, the entry fee becomes their responsibility. Just let me know that you are sending a replacement.
5) Donations will be accepted during the games - just come down and give us your money!

*deep breath*
I changed my mind, not gonna do the mind blowing life altering update that, all of like three people would read. In it's place you get this one. HA!

Hope the Holidays treat you well!

I went out to Die Brucke's show a few weeks back, nice to see old friends I have missed. Closest I have came to the club in a long while.

I really truly and absolutely despise that ex wife of mine, but on a good note she lied to the judge.

Moving on Friday and Saturday, can't wait till that is done, maybe the fighting between the lil one's will ease with having their own rooms. After 7.5 years of wanting to live in a house I finally will again.

lil lil one is out of diapers.

Work is work, boring and dull, and drags daily to the point of exhaustion, but at least it's not stressful like it use to be.

I keep waking up at night in a paranoid haze, kind of odd.

That is good for now I think....See you in another couple of months I guess. Happy Christmas and Merry Birthdays (to those of you I missed on here)

The all clear resounding.
The way was clear to rebuild this land.
Shall I call on you to guide me well.
To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled.
On this day of our ascension,
on this day we praise the fallen.

In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

Sitting on a bench...synching up each lace tighter than the last. Wrapped twice around the ankles, and tying a nice bow knot. Two wraps of tape around the knot and ankles. Socks pulled down over the tape. Sitting back. Eyes closed, as if foreseeing the future. A deep breath in through the nose, a chill to the air freezes the lungs. Eyes closed. Gloves on, Stick in hand. Eyes open. Looking around. Standing up. Realizing the new balance. Walking to the ice. Eyes closed, once more a deep breath, taking in the fresh icy air. Two steps and on the ice. The first stride gives the familiar sound of ice crackling. The second stride produces the same. Eyes closed. In this moment, there is nothing more than me and ice. No other thoughts, just me and the ice. Eyes open, with each stride it gets colder, yet more clear. It is nothing more than ice. If I fall, it will hurt. Strides more steady, and accelerating speed, feet crossing over to handle the turn. Suddenly, a snow storm, from a sudden stop. Eyes closed. The strides begin again, faster, and more aggressive. More speed is needed, turning, accelerating, missing a step. I fall. With a thud I go down on my side, sliding into the board. A moment to assess the pain and damage. I knew it would hurt. On one knee, then both, back on my feet, slowly taking stride after stride. Eyes closed, side hurts, there is still nothing more than me and the ice. The strides increase, acceleration, as the pain diminishes. I know if I fall again, it will hurt. I keep on skating. Just me and the ice.

Thoughts spilling out in songs.....

2007-11-24T00:33:58Z

Just a preface if you think you know what this is about, I can pretty much assure you....you don't.

Broken
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph, I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

So Tell Me Why
Id like to put to rest the rumours
Id like to put to rest the lies
Id like to throw away the past
And show you how I feel inside

Ill be your taxi and your driver
Ill be your road if you need
Id like to push and push and push
Just to make you pleased

But your river of emotion for me
Flows like a dried up stream

So tell me why
Your satisfactions like a heart of stone
So tell me why
Your love reaction chills me to the bone

You make my blood boil hot
And my heart beat like a drum
Id like to do to you girl
Things that aint never been done

From the rain Ill be your shelter
From the cold Ill be your heat
Ill push and push and push
Just to make you pleased

So tell me your reason
For tearing me up inside
Girl you gotta tell me why

But your river of emotion for me
Flows like a dried up stream

Talk Dirty to Me
You know I never
I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too
The way that I want you
I gotta have you
Oh yes, I do

You know I never
I never ever stay out late
You know that I can hardly wait
Just to see you
And I know you cannot wait
Wait to see me too
I gotta touch you

Cause baby well be
At the drive-in
In the old mans ford
Behind the bushes
Till Im screamin for more
Down the basement
Lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me

You know I call you
I call you on the telephone
Im only hoping that youre home
So I can hear you
When you say those words to me
And whisper so softly
I gotta hear you

Let's see....Since I last posted something of substance a whole ton of crap has happened. I may or may not post on that at a later date. For now I will leave it at this, I have come back. I lost a peice of me, and never knew how much of me that peice really was. So here I am. Take it or leave it. This is me. T or Tony to my friends and family, Kilt Puppet to the Rogues, whichever way you want to slice it. This is me. Living my life. On my terms from here on out, and loving every second of it.

Until then...

Pirate Benefit

Date/Time: Sat., October 6, 4:00pm-12:00am

Hearty Eats

The Colorado Rogues take blood seriously.

Yarrr! Colorado's pirate reenactors, as it turns out, don't just put on their eye patches and peg legs for the Renaissance Festival. The Colorado Rogues' 115 members will don their ruffled blouses any chance they get. "You've heard of Civil War reenactors? We're reenacting what it's like to live and be a pirate in the golden age of sails," says Joshua Thomas, the group's "Commodore Amon."

So why not host a benefit for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, where they can lay siege to blood disorders? The Rogues have been doing blood drives for a long time, partly because it's "cute" for pirates to give blood instead of take it, Thomas says. This time, they fight for blood!

All plasma puns aside, today's event will include a historically accurate five-course meal from 4 p.m. to midnight at Cafe Netherworld, 1275 Pennsylvania Street, with music from Caustic Soul, Becky Atchley, Pandora Celtica and Whirly Jig. Tickets are $20 in advance at the restaurant or $25 at the door. There will be door prizes, a silent auction and a cash bar. The Rogues will provide the pirates, but attendees may dress up if they want to. For details, visit www.coloradorogues.com.
