Costume Poker Night with Jesse "The Shark"

Last night was poker night at Oakridge Apartments. I was invited to go over to a friend's apartment for a evening of six-person, Texas Hold 'em. The rules were no limit (convenient since we weren't playing for real money), and only one buyback, but once you were knocked out you couldn't win, it was just so you weren't bored for the rest of the night. I heard that real poker players will dress up and be really distracting to take their opponent's minds off of their cards. James Bond usually has a gorgeous girl at his shoulder. The champion of a 10 million dollar poker tournament wore fossilized glasses the entire time [fossilized glasses are ones that you may have seen that reflect eyeballs when others look at them]. I heard that another prominent player wears their baseball hat inside out and backwards and their glasses upside down on their face. In order to create an advantage for myself, I created a poker alter-ego named Jesse "the Shark" ...

USU Registration Experience: Disappointed, yet Satisfied

The following is an email correspondence between me and the USU registrars office. I initiated the conversation after receiving only $322 out of the $650 I thought I was getting back after dropping a video editing class before the add drop date. (Apparently, it costs a lot of money to drop classes here at USU.) Bryan: To whom it may concern, my purpose in writing you is to find out what my "real" chances are for receiving a 100% refund for the one class that I dropped last Monday, the 14th of September. When I discovered that Monday night that I was only going to receive only 50% tuition back I felt cheated by the University. This is my first semester at USU, and I was unaware of the university's negative reinforcement policy regarding adding/dropping classes after a certain date. When I added this elective course at the registrar's office on Sept. 4th, the nice lady that was helping me knew that I wasn't sure if I wanted to add it then or not and speci...

I Slept Through My First Grad Class This Morning

The first thing I did when I opened my eyes was jump out of bed and write my professor this email: Joanne, I just woke up and the first thing I'm doing is writing you to tell you how sorry I am for just missing your class today. I know I should be fired for my absence, but I hope there is some way I can make it up. Either by sitting down with Pope or Gentry to look over my PBS [attached to this email] or have them expound on the readings [my notes are also attached] or fill me on on class discussion notes. I am willing to make whatever sacrifice is required to catch up. I completely planned on waking up with plenty of time to prepare for class. I went to bed relatively early. I set my alarm. I seriously don't know yet what happened. My excuse is terrible, yet creative. I slept in due to an intense dream I was having. All I can remember is that I dreamed that I was a first time father and I was taking care of my two, small kids and couldn't leave them. Wh...

Pwning Noobs on the Tennis Court

I signed up for intramural tennis. I've been playing one intramural tennis match per week since I arrived here in Logan. (Good news! There is no regulation on any of Logan's tennis courts. I can even wear my running shoes on the recently resurfaced school courts, and not just my court shoes.) Anyway, here are my scores so far. The Great Bertón vs. Lei Song, the Asian double-faulter: 6-0,6-0 The Great Bertón vs. Adam, the large, happy, married novice: 6-4,6-1 The Great Bertón vs. Matt, the over-analytical choker: 6-1,6-0 Today was my match with Matt. Matt was a really nice guy; a great rallier. He just had trouble translating his relaxed hits during rally-time into a game setting. (FYI, he might be my trainer at Westhost.com, if I get the job. I find out tomorrow.) Funny Story I wore a blue bandanna, like a sweat band on my forehead, during the match. I looked cool. Sorry I don't have a picture, just close your eyes an imagine me looking cool. It...

My Brief Stint on the USU Ballroom Dance Team

After not making  Equestrian Team callbacks, I thought I'd go out for the USU Ballroom Dance Team. Tryouts were TOUGH, for women. (Not that women are inferior to men by any standard; it's just that there were tons of excellent girl dancers who tried out and only a few of us guys.) I'm pretty sure all the guys who stumbled through the tryout-routine without making complete fools of themselves were extended an invitation to join the team. Despite not having danced in over 2 years, I still felt pretty cocky confident going into the tryout. Sure enough... Congratulations! You have been selected to be a member of the USU Ballroom Team for 2009/2010. We are excited to have you participate on our team. Please meet at the HPER in room 215 on Wednesday next week from 3:30-6:30pm for the first day of team. Be ready to dance. We will see you on Wednesday. Thanks, Adam and Jeanne Shelton The first week of practice was amazing! I was thrilled to be a part of a d...

911 Call: Bomb in Testicle

As you listen to this clip, I want you to imagine which drug or drugs this woman is on. Leave your guesses in the comments. Remember these hints: -Set in Ontario,Canada. -From the "I'm not being arrogant" comment, it is assumed she has had a confrontation with the law before. -Son, possibly, came home from military service or ROTC. -Knows the word "Cobalt." Bomb in Testicle 911 Call sound bite Quote : Operator: 911. Woman: I’m looking for an Officer Loco please. What’s the name of your troops down there please? I’m not being arrogant I’m calling from Ontario. Operator: What are you trying to find out? Woman: It’s not the RCMT it’s…I have a very important call to make because I just realized that my own son could be carrying a cobalt bomb in his testicles. Operator: Who are you needing to contact ma’am? Woman: Pardon? Operator: Who are you needing to contact ma’am? Woman: Uh, your head office, the head of police. Operator: This is it ma’a...

Dodge Ball - The Aztec Stake Center, 51st Ward FHE

Matt was the gimpy camera man. Shane was competitive Scott was energetic Guys were only allowed to throw the heavy, red balls with their "wrong" hand. Also, if guys catch a red ball, it has no effect on who comes in or goes out. Guys could throw the light, rainbow-colored balls with whichever hand they preferred as they would never go where you wanted anyway. Girls could throw any ball however they liked. There was an added element to the game that I'd never heard of before. There was a tall box set up at the back of one of the team's area. If a rainbow ball knocked the box over with direct hit, the game was automatically over. The box typically went on the side with the stronger team. Teams were divided first by counting off ones and twos in order of birthdates, and then we just split the birthdates down the middle with Jan.-June on one side and the rest on the other. That's me, on the sideline there. I'm out. [Insert fat guy joke here.] Surprisingly, e...

Philosophy: Morality of Living in a Second Skin

I just finished watching a documentary on the addiction of online gaming called Second Skin . This 94 minute film told the same story 10 different ways: whether you think so or not, massive multiplayer online role playing games, or MMORPG, will debilitate and ultimately destroy you, body and soul. All throughout, I was thinking to myself, "oh! So that's what the prophets have been talking about for the last decade!" Film Synopsis from IMDB: Second Skin takes an intimate look at computer gamers whose lives have been transformed by the emerging genre of Massively Multiplayer Online games (MMOs). World of Warcraft, Second Life, and Everquest allow millions of users to simultaneously interact in virtual worlds. Second Skin introduces us to couples who have fallen in love without meeting, disabled players who have found new purpose, addicts, Chinese gold-farming sweatshop workers, wealthy online entrepreneurs and legendary guild leaders - all living in a world that doe...
