Drink Rum

So... once again, Congress and Meat Puppet Bush have thwarted me.

Internet gambling in the United States is basically going to go bye-bye.

Long time anti-gambling people were finally successful in thwarting the gambling online by playing the terrorist card. It's well known of course that terrorists PartyPoker.com to fund jihads on everyone.

Right.

Lucky for me that the government took my ability to play poker online away... because I surely would have become a degenerate gambler and lost everything. Gambling is a sin... but it isn't in the 10 commandments so I guess it's a sin-lite.

I'm pretty tired of the government legislating things they shouldn't. Please stop trying to protect me from myself. I know me... I'm not scared.

If people need someone else to stop them from doing something... they're lost anyway.

I hope that the bill's sponsors, including my rep, get AIDS.

And Bush too.

And his family.

And his little dog too.

That's right folks... six days, five nights in fabulous Las Vegas. And it's free.

The credit union is sending me there for another Microsoft conference.

It's very exciting.

I'll be at the Mandalay Bay in about 4 weeks if anyone needs me.

So I went to Mike's wedding yesterday and was reunited with most of the Vegas guys once again. Duane couldn't make it due to the impending nature of his soon to be fatherhood. Devin, Mike, and Justin seemed to be in good spirits. It was a good wedding. I got to see a few people that I'd not seen in a decade and it was a good time. I also got to meet, for the first time, Justin and Mike's lovely wives. They both did very well for themselves.

I've also determined that I'm going to make more of an effort to get together with these guys more often. It's funny that I seem to have more free time with my new job than I had before, but I also seem to have more outside activities that divide my time as well. I've had to get a planner to keep it all straight and I'm booking things months in advance now. I think most of my Novmember is now booked.

But I'm going to make it happen. Fun is just too easy with those guys.

Congratz Mike and Justin... on your marriage to each other.
