I was thinking about my doorbell

When was the last time that you where able to go for an extended period of time with no sleep? Mine was this weekend, thanks to some hot unadulterated World Cup Soccer action, I was forced to be awake at 11 am on Saturday. Normally that would not be a problem, though I do enjoy sleeping in on weekends, but on Friday night I stayed out at a Casino until 7 am. I got home took a shower and went straight to bed setting my alarm for 11. I actually awoke to the consistant tones of my alarm and readied myself for Soccer. After 5 hours that can only be described as heartbreaking, I logged on to my favorite mmorpg just to see who was online. Luckily there were several of my friends hanging around so we set up a quick group, with one my friends naval buddies and that guys wife. My friends naval buddy has to be the wierdest sounding guy ever but his wife has the sultriest female voice and you could just sit and listen to her talk for hours. After the group wiped several times we were forced to let another unsuspecting idiot in on the action. The guy that we let in was a total tool, but allowed for some comic relief between the two of us that weren't married when he kept trying to get all up in the female. This was funny because he did not know that the other two were married or that we are all in the same guild and could constantly chat about what a tool he was. Anyways, we ran a mission that we have ran a few times before but this time found a little exploit in that you can run through one of the missions and get a 10% bonus if you don't kill anything and just get to the other side, you can then recall out and redo it at no loss to expierience. So needless to say my friend and I were forced to stay up all night and repeat this until we could no longer function, because with our luck they will pull this out of the game and then we would have been pissed that we knew and did not take advantage. So I was able to go to sleep for about 20 minutes before I had to take a shower and head to the big semiannual poker tournament held every 4 months. Needless to say I did not do to well at poker, though I lost a huge pot to a guy who I am convinced can barely read. I have a 4/5 of clubs and am in the big blind. The only other person in the hand was in the small blind. The flop was 6/7 of clubs and an 8 of spades, with 4 to the flush and a straight I decide go all in. At this point I can cover anyone on the table with chips so it is not an easy decision for them to make for a draw, but I felt the need to do this because I had the low end of the straight and did not want anyone drawing out on me. He called with an Ace/9 of spades. I will repeat the for those of you who play poker and think that I might have misstyped and Ace/9 of spades. He has a straight draw and an outside chance at the flush, with the straight showing not really a call that you should make. So the turn was a spade and the river was, you guessed it a spade to pretty much end my night. I was not the same player after that, oddly enough 2 hands later the guy who was right behind me in chips went all in with an Ace/7 with Ace/7/4 showing. So the same guy that had called me, called him but this time he had a monster hand of 4/6 offsuit. So with low pair on the board he called an all in that had him covered. So twice he called an all in with an ass hand that could have ended his tournament. The turn was a 6 and the river was a 4 giving him a full house and beating the guy who had aces and sevens. So with a huge chip lead he limped in to second place by never playing another hand. What a weekend!
