Apologies

Life past 100 is rough.

Wednesday night after the big 100, I went out to celebrate with some of my boys. Actually no one else I was with knew that I had just posted my 100th blog entry, but on the inside I was having a Times Square New Year's type of celebration.

So what does this mean? Drunk Kev. Also known in the streets as Killa Kev.

The club was "Shag," a remodeled night club in Hollywood on the corner of Cahuenga and Franklin.

The drinks of choice were Red Bull/Vodka and Corona.

The club was only about 1/4 full and the crowd consisted of two 3-pointers, two free throws, two bank shots and about 12 lay-ups. Not solid. Both 3-pointers were with dudes also.

I was crackin' at some chick but I don't even remember what happened. Her name was Mya and she basically dumped her fat friend off on me. Her friend was very nice but she was kind of like a left-handed pre-game warm-up lay-up. Like you just do it because you don't have anything else to do. Eventually, I ridded myself of her and ran into my boy's Geo and Noni Spitz, who are both extremely talented rappers here in L.A. that I used to do music with until I fell off the map.

By the time I got out of the club, I was plastered to say the least.

So right now I would like to make some apologies.

To the person that owned the car on Wilcox. I apologize. I thought that the L.A. Times newspaper dispenser was bolted into the sidewalk. When I dropped kicked it, I was not expecting it to fly into your car. I am hoping that L.A. Times will reimburse you fully for any damage that was done.



I apologize to whoever lives in the green apartment building in the alley behind Wilcox Street. To be completely honest there was nowhere else to urinate, so the side of your building was the only legit option for me. Don't worry, it was behind the bush where it is not noticeable.

I would also like to apologize to the car behind us at the Jack in the Box. I am not sure what or why I was yelling at you, but it was not meant in a harmful way, although it probably seemed like it at the time.

To the girls that were walking home while we were in line at Jack in the Box. I apologize. I was not trying to be demeaning to you but when you rejected my initial offers of friendship, my feelings were somewhat hurt and I became an uncontrollable rage of emotion. I apologize.

To the eyes-closed reverse 360 lay-up that was working at Jack in the Box. I apologize for asking you for your phone number and giving you any hope of me ever calling you because this will not happen. First of all, I did not write your phone number down. Second of all, I don't think that we even speak the same language. Third of all, you are a reverse 360 eyes closed lay-up that I would have only tried when I was 11 years old playing on Todd's 7-foot adjustable rim in the alley. I will never attempt the aforementioned shot in my life again.

I apologize to my co-workers for calling in sick yesterday. I know, you missed me.

I apologize to the city of Los Angeles for parking my car (actually Tipsy T parked it, I wasn't driving) on the wrong side of the street, thus obstructing your "street cleaning" that was to take place on Thursday morning. However, you have more than adequately fined me $50.00 for this parking mishap. I now owe you a lot of money for various violations that I have committed over the past month.



I feel much better now that I have cleared the air.

Yesterday I played some Full Tilt while I was at home sick. All in all I think I lost $100. The day started off great when I finished in 8th place of a turbo $216 20k guaranteed (+620) but it was all downhill from there. I busted out of a couple tournaments like 300 out of 1000 and then lost some money in cash games.

I had a plan that was like this:

Start at the bottom level on Full Tilt. Win at least one buy in per night. Every time I have a winning night four nights in a row, move up a level.

For some reason, it's really hard for me to stick to this plan. Yesterday I was playing .10/.25 no limit 6-handed and it was just brutal. I mean it's like stealing blinds for .25 I just don't understand it. I did manage to win about $2 though.

So should I keep grinding at these micro stakes or should I just take shots at big touranments and cash games? Who knows.

However, tonight I will make a return to Hollywood Park. My game is on point and I'm looking forward to a big weekend at the table.

I think I'm going to try USC out one more time with some money on Bodog. They better come through for me! I'm skipping a basketball game (Chinese Ballers league is back on lol) to watch.

Off the top, here are some goals that I would like to accomplish by post 200. I'm actually going to write these up somewhere and print them out:

1. Get in shape. By 200 (this should be at least half a year) I want my weight to be no higher than 180.

2. Start writing freelance for some sort of online publication. Possibly dubcnn.com or a poker website.

3. Get my online bankroll at $10k+. This will be the hardest thing for me to do.

4. Get my live game bankroll at $10k+. This will also be hard. My BR took some major hits over the past couple of months and now I need to get it back up.

5. Finish a mixtape. This will also be hard as I don't have too much free time.

6. Get readership of this blog up. I plan on taking more time to write better entries, which means I need more people reading them. I think the best way to promote it for myself is to become active in several forums across the net. So anyone can feel free to pass the word.

From now on I will post updates of all these endeavors every week. Feel free to follow some and not follow others (for example I know some of you don't like rap, so if I put a song up there's no need to listen lol).

To be honest, all of these things are very possible but it will take some focus and determination on my part to accomplish each one. I'm bout that business!

Have a great weekend everyone. I'm rooting for Tiger, the Trojans, Michigan (yuck @ Notre Dame), and the Seahawks.
