I got a really cheapo Casio keyboard the other day, it was on for half price and I couldn't resist. It's really fun, but I noticed one thing: There is a certain range of musical instruments that I am pretty sure only exist inside of Casio keyboards now. Like the celestica for instance. Every cheap little keyboard I have ever seen has a celestica sound built into it, but I am pretty sure that noone has made, bought or played an actual celestica for at least 200 years. I don't even know what a celestica is, other than any time I go through the sound presets on a cheap keyboard I try it out and go "oh yeah, that thing". It probably isn't even an actual instrument I guess.
You know how poker is the new big fad, like swing dancing was a while ago? (It seems like so long ago, but it is true, not long ago a lot of people were into swing dancing!! Remember that? That's CRAZY!!) I played this freebie pub poker thing yesterday (30 cent wings, I am there!), and without getting into into too many boring poker details, with blinds at 25-50, I someone managed to get about 1600 chips in preflop with 67 offsuit against 9-9 and ace-ten. I made the guy with 9-9 almost have a brain aneursym when I won that hand, it was so awesome, I couldn't stop laughing and he had to go outside and have a smoke, after a really forced handshake and "nice hand" moment. I make friends wherever I go!
Serves that guy right for being a smoker! Know what I don't get about smokers? I don't know if they think like "oh if you smoke there is just a very outside chance of cancer and emphysema" or something? Like maybe people think that with each cigarette there is a tiny chance that THIS one is the one that will give you cancer, but if it doesn't, you're fine, so they're like "hmm, that one didn't feel like it hurt me, nice, snuck by again!". I don't know. I just looked up smoking on the internet and there's a page called "smoking from all sides" which says it looks into all perspectives of smoking. I didn't know there were many perspectives! Aren't they basically:
1. It kills you
2. But I think I look cool
3. You will get cancer
4. But check it out, I look really cool!
5. You're going to get cancer though.
? I guess there really are good arguments on all sides!
Now smokers hate me too. I make friends wherever I go!
