My Interests

Poker, xbox360, guitar, piano... I love to read and watch movies. I love pool almost as much as poker. I'm addicted to HSX. I also like writing. And hot tubs. I love sushi and fruit smoothies (except for mango smoothies). And I also like exploring and finding new cool places to chill out and think.

I'd like to meet:

Rappers and Rodeo boys. You don't fuck with those guys.Oh yeah... and Matt .

Music:

I loves my iPod. Pretty eclectic taste. Last album that I really fell in love with was the first Killers album. I also like The Streets (Original Pirate Material), Stereophonics, Massive Attack, The Shins, Modest Mouse, The Eels, Paul Oakenfold, Eminem, Portishead, Gorillaz, anything trip-hoppy, acid-jazzy, or original.

Movies:

Rounders, I Heart Huckabees, Memento, Way of the Gun, Dark City, 12 Monkeys, X-Men 1 and 2 (not 3), Troy, Spartan, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Snatch, Fight Club, Vanilla Sky, Elizabethtown, Donnie Darko, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Fountain, The Prestige

Television:

Work shows : ESPN's World Series of Poker, Travel Channel's World Poker Tour, Highstakes Poker, Professional Poker TourFun shows : Lost, The Apprentice, The Contender, Battlestar Galactica, The Office, Survivor, Jack and Bobby, Smallville, 24, Dead Like Me, Tilt, Sopranos, Deadwood, Angel, Family Guy, pretty much anything on Comedy Central (love standup), Entourage, My Name is Earl

Books:

My two favorite authors are Chuck Palahniuk (Survivor, Lullaby, Choke, Fight Club) and Kurt Vonnegut (Slaughterhouse 5, Sirens of Titan, Galapogos, Cat's Cradle). My favorite book is The Gunslinger by Stephen King. Also liked that book Still Life with Woodpecker by Tom Robbins. Last good book I read was The Diamond Age by Neil Stephenson. Also The Alchemist... such a great book!

Heroes:

My poker hero is probably TJ Cloutier. My other heroes are probably Kurt Vonnegut, Bill Gates, Steve Wynn, Ellen Degeneres, Che Guevara, Charles Limburgh, Oprah Winfrey, and my mom. But most of all, I'm truly in love with Jeff Madsen. Yes, ok, ok, fiiiine I'm coming out right now... I'm gay. Dutch Boyd is gay. Hope you're all happy

My Blog

Say Hell No! to the bailouts.

The economy is going to hell in a handbasket and I've come up with two conclusions... the good news is we're all going to be millionaires.  The bad news is we're fucked. I wrote two long blogs ab...

Brandi Hawbaker

1982 - 2008The girl had more star quality than anyone in poker.  She was bigger than life.  Maybe the craziest person I've ever met.  I don't think anybody is happy to see her go. ...

I think...

they should have two mood forms on this page... one or before you write your blog and one for after.  Wouldn't that make sense?
