My favorite picture from the Olympics

I meant to put this picture up while it was still relevant.  The U.S. women's soccer team have won the gold medal at this olympics.  This picture is of the team celebrating one of the goals they scored, I think it was against Canada.  The team was accussed of planning their goal celebrations before the games started by the Canadian coach.  The U.S. head coach said that was fine because their winning and they are having fun, nothing wrong with that.  I agree, nothing wrong with that.  They were not mocking the other team so I don't really see anything wrong with that.  A while back I saw a replay of a game between the Dallas Cowboys and some other team, the game was being played at Dallas.  One of the players on the oppossing team, I want to say it was Terrell Owens, he scored a touchdown and then he ran to the center of the field where there was a big star which is the logo of the cowboys.  When he got to the logo he started some sort of dance, he was celebrating his touchdown.  And then a fight between the teams broke out.  I feel that there was a huge difference between these two incidences.  The Olympics soccer game that I mentioned had taken place on neutral territory and the celebrations did not last very long and it didn't cause a fight.  The Terrell Owens incident caused a fight.  Anyways, here is the picture of the U.S. women's soccer team celebrating after a goal. 

Some Highlights from the Olympics.

This is American swimmer Ryan Lochte.   He beat Micheal Phelps the other night!
Ryan Lochte wanted to wear a custom-made red, white and blue grill on the podium after winning the 400 swimming event but the Olympics officials said no.  So this picture was taken after the  gold medal ceremony.  Ryan Lochte has a history of having his picture taken with a medal and his grill.  He has multiple grills and very nice teeth.

U.S. striker Abby Wambach was sucker-punched during the first half of the U.S. women's 3-0 win on Saturday by Lady Andrade of Columbia.  The ref did not see the punch so no foul was called but it was caught on tape so the Olympic officials (or maybe the FIFA officials) could take a look at the tape and issue discipline at a later date. The match did get kind of chippy but the U.S. showed class by not retaliating, they just scored more goals.  Abby Wambach scored one goal during this game.
The US women have already qualified for the second round by wining their first two games of the Olympics.  On Wednesday they defeated France 4-2.
U.S. plays against North Korea on Tuesday.

No pop and no caffeine, day two.

the olympics start soon

I am looking forward to watching the olympics, especially the u.s. women's soccer team.  I am about to watch Breaking Bad on the amc channel.  I haven't actually watched the show yet but its one of the shows that I have wanted to watch.  Right now the show Small Town Security is on, its wierd. 

Learning Spanish is Awesome

Tomorrow is the fourth of July!

Tomorrow is the 4th of July and tomorrow my brother and I are going to the Tigers game tomorrow night.  I am not really looking forward to this because the stress of driving, getting there on time, and then driving back all falls on me since my brother does not drive.  The fourth of July is when the U.S. declared its independence from England.  When I finally get the opportunity to blog I just don't feel all that motivated to do so.  So I'm going to finish this off and post a video off of you tube.

The air conditioner is my friend.

I am targeting the low hanging fruit.

Poker book review

As I have mentioned before I am learning how to play texas hold'em poker and that I started to read the poker book Internet texas hold'em new expanded edition.
I finished reading the book probably a few weeks after I got the book.
I actually received a digital copy of the book for free in return for writing a review of the book here.
I already purchased the hard copy book about the odds and probabilities by the same author of the book I mentioned above but I think I may apply to offer to do the review in exchange for the digital copy because it was so much easier to take notes on my computer by just copying and pasting the words from the book into a word document. 

This is a link to the book Internet texas hold'em new expanded edition:

http://pokerbooks.internettexasholdem.com/internet-texas-holdem-new-expanded-edition

My first real experience with poker was at the pokerstars.com website and I actually found out about the books that I mentioned above through pokerstars.
Pokerstars.com does have a free poker school that you can learn from and the limit texas hold'em is apparently based on the book I mentioned above but I think the poker stars guys botched the whole poker school thing because they used different sources for their material and they just kind of stuck it together and hoped that it would work as far as the limit texas hold'em goes. 
They have no limit poker school leasons that may be excellent but I don't know because I didn't go that far with them. 
The Internet texas hold'em is not a complete beginners guide so its not the first poker studies I would recommend. 
I would actually recommend that you download the pokerstars.com program and play poker on there for awhile. 
Just make sure that you play the limit texas hold'em games...it's free.
After you've kind of gotten your feet wet with limit texas hold'em then I would recommend that you get the Internet texas hold'em new expanded edition book.
I would strongly recommend this book, it has improved my game a great deal.

I'm hungry now, but I have to wait to eat dinner.

My dad has a printing business and I have to help him out because he's helping me pay my bills. I don't like working here because I don't want to be envolved in this business.  I don't really want the responsiblity of running a business which I know I will have to eventually take over the business because my brother is retarded.  he's mentally challenged.  anyways, this is suppose to be our busy time of year and I'm having a hard time really puting my words onto this blog because as I stated before I'm hungy. 

because its the playoffs

daddy I can fly!
no, not really. its just the playoffs.

golden mummy arrested for taking daughter to tanning booth

The link below is to the article about the women who was arrested for taking her daughter tanning.
Look at the picture of this lady and I think that will explain the title.

video friday a day late

this video is of the gorillaz with their song  "do ya thang".

this is the official music video but it has the lyrics in spanish down at the bottom.

video of the week

this video is of the band Vampire Weekend with their song A Punk.  I really like this song, but I'm not really crazy about the video.  The best part about this song and video is that it doesn't have anything to do with vampires.

let's go redwings

On tuesday I was watching the redwings game.  On tuesday they beat Columbus, the city not the explorer, in Columbus 5-2.  It was an entertaining game.  I don't really remember any of the highlights but what I do remember is that the crowd at one point started chanting "let's go redwings".  I felt bad for the home team.  the fans that were supposed to be cheering for them were cheering for the visiting team.  I was not really all that surprised because its happened before but that really has to suck when the fans are cheering for the visiting team.
and apparently mark zuckerberg, you know the guy that started facebook, plays the drums in the band wolfmother...watch the previous video that I posted here on my blog.  when I tried to reach mark zuckerberg he would not comment though.

friday update

kate upton is really hot.  don't worry abby wambach and the other girls on the us women's national soccer team, i still think you girls are hot and i still have a huge crush on you girls... but this is different.
with kate upton is purely physical attraction because she's a model so I'm not sure why else I should be attracted to her.  whereas with abby wambach and the other girls on the us women's national soccer team its much more than just physical attraction because I love soccer, i grew up playing soccer.  I admire and respect the girls on the soccer team but with kate upton i just want to do very bad things with her, with her consent of course.
anyways the other day i mentioned that i was going to be reviewing a book.  I received a copy that i downloaded onto my computer for free because if you have a website or a blog you can get a free copy of the book if you agree to read and give your review of it on your blog or website.  if your into poker like i am go to www.internettexasholdem.com to see about possibly getting a free poker book.  I'm on page 46 out of 418 pages of the book so its going to be awhile before i write a review of the book.  i think i am about ten percent way through the book.
now i think thats it for tonight.

Its friday!

Today I am starting a new segment for this blog.  I am going to start posting a music video each week.  If you have suggestions as to which video I should post next week leave me a comment.  This week's music video is from Wolf Mother with their song "love train".  I really like this song!

dimat poker books / internet texas hold'em book review!

As I have mentioned before I am learning how to play texas hold'em poker and I discovered the website www.internettexasholdem.com awhile back because I purchased one of their books about the odds and probabilities of texas hold'em.
I have learned the basics from different websites but I don't really feel like what I have learned is effective when I combined it with what I have read in the odds and probabilities book so I went back to www.internettexasholdem.com to get one of the books that was mentioned in the odds and probabilities book. 
I am going to read the book Internet texas hold'em new expanded edition which is written by the same guy as the odds and probabilities book I mentioned above.

The website www.internettexasholdem.com  sells its books on this website http://pokerbooks.internettexasholdem.com/

And this is a link to the book I am going to read:

And this is a link to the odds and probabilities book that I am still learning from:

I can feel a headache coming in the air tonight

I can feel it.  I'm going to have a bad headache soon so I took some aleeve.  I am going to devote more time to this blog by posting more on this blog and reading and commenting on other blogs.
I think I mentioned in an earlier post that I was not going to go back to edit any of my post but I felt that I had to. So that is what i did.  this post has been edited, and i deleted one of the other post altogether.

us soccer update

The U.S. women's national team, as I previously stated, has qualified for the Olympics but the U.S. men's national team has not qualified yet.  For the men under-23 national teams will be the one's qualifing for and playing in the olympics, whereas the women's national team will be the team in the olympics. The national team has no age limit and usually is the country's best team, whereas the other teams like the under-23 team that I mentioned is limited by age.  The men's team are only sending their under-23 probably because World Cup qualifing has already started and the World Cup is a much bigger deal for the soccer world than the olympics.  Virtually every country in the world has a men's national soccer team, whereas not every country has a women's national team so the world cup quallifing for the men's team takes longer than the women's team.
With that being said the US women's national team will be playing in a tournament over in Portugal.  This tournament doesn't have any affect on who goes to the olympics because the women's olympic quallfying is already complete.  Here is a link for that:  http://www.ussoccer.com/News/Womens-National-Team/2012/02/Sundhage-Names-Roster-for-Algarve-Cup.aspx
The U.S. under-23 men's team will be participating in olympic quallifying starting March 22.  Here is a link for that team.  http://www.ussoccer.com/News/U-23-MNT/2012/02/Porter-Names-23-Players-to-U23-MNT-Training-Camp-in-Texas.aspx

the state of us soccer

The state of us soccer kind of sucks because the women's league was canceled.  We as a country have one of the best female national team in the world and yet we no longer have a league.  I think most of the countries in western and northern europe have at least one male and female league, but we don't.  I want to see my country become one the soccer powers in the world but I don't see that happening...

add title here

I am learning how to play texas hold'em and I think I am getting a little better.  I am also unemployed, I think my unemployment checks run in april.  tonight after I finish this i am going to my mom's house to give her the gift i bought for her for valentines day.  before i do that i have to go back to my house because i forgot to bring the gift with me. i think i started another blog post but i didn't finish it so i didn't publish it, hopefully i saved it.  i play poker for free on poker stars .com and i live in the u.s. so i can't play online for money yet but it sounds like it will become legal in at least nevada pretty soon, which doesn't help me because i live in michigan.

US women's national team

The u.s. women's national soccer team has qualified for the olympics in london this summer.
I'm not really all that surprised that they qualified , they are one of the best teams in the world.
The women's concacaf, I think thats the correct initials, was held in Vancover and the final game of the tournament was on sunday between the u.s. and canada.  The u.s. won.  the u.s. did not give up a goal during the tournament!!  I now have a crush on the u.s. women's team as did before, during, and for a little while after the women's world cup last summer.  They lost in the world cup final to japan.  In a million years I would of never of predicted that Japan would beat the u.s. women's team cause we were heavly favored, but we lost anyways.  I especially have a huge crush on Abby Wambach.  She's taller than me, and she isn't the most attractive women in the world but I would say that she's more attractive than cloey kardashian.  cloey doesn't look like her more attractive sisters.  I have a crush on the U.S. Women's national soccer team, even if some of them like women.  Hey, I like women too so I guess we would have something other than soccer in common, although I am a guy.
Cloey kardashian may have a lot of money probably mostly because of her sister Kim but she got screwed over as far as genes go because she isn't nearly as attractive as her sisters.
And I am going to try and update my blog more often.
