I just wrote another application for a trainee position and I’m quite happy with the result. I would be interested on getting a trainee position where I would be studying the use of PHP. At the moment I allowed myself to play a game of poker and write a blog post before I should start doing anything else. There would be a lot that should be done before I could really just sit back this Friday. I should for example clean the whole house, this would include doing the dishes (absolutely not my favourite thing) and hoovering and stuff like that. Yep, it doesn’t sound too fun.
I should though make this blog post about today and what is happening. I think that writing a blog post of at least 500 words each day has already given me a little better grasp on writing with a computer. I don’t really think that it has yet done anything for the speed, but it has given me a certain attitude towards writing and I think that this attitude helps me a little with the speed. Not too much, but every little helps.
I’m playing poker at the same time as I’m writing this post. This makes the writing slow and the things that I’m writing about might seem even a little more mixed up than they usually do. The hardest part on this is trying to think of the right words for something in English, while at the same time you are playing poker and listening to something on iTunes. Doing this many different things at once usually does get really difficult, but for now it feels to be going alright. I have gotten about 250 words down so far and I have the average amount of chips on poker (the tournament has been on for about 60 minutes, so I didn’t just start playing). I have wondered how these poker sites can keep up these free tournaments that offer some money for the winners. When you think about it, it does not seem to be that big deal. For example where I play they let 7500 players in each tournament. The whole tournament has a combined pot of 150$ for all the winning players. This means that each player would be putting 2 pences in the play after the tournament. And this is also a great to lure new players in to the world of poker. Because everyone loves these seemingly free games and then whops, you are addicted. It’s a clever plan meant to suck you into the world. Poker is really fun game, because it gives you the feeling that you’re a smarter player than those, whom you win. While this is true, we have to remember that even the best players lose some times and in the end the whole game is just about luck. Of course there are better players who’ll statistically win you in the long run, but the small games are just down to luck.
I know that I have now angered few person about the whole idea of poker. I know that most of it is skill, but there just are few cases where it is just down to pure luck. For example, we had a all in situation with another player before. I went all in with a pair of 2 (something you just have to do) and the other player called me with Ace and Queen. You are about 50:50 to lose to any pair with A Q, but some would say that it was just luck for me. Because if we had seen A or Q, that would have most likely been the game there. So poker is mostly statistics and reading your opponents, but little luck never hurt anyone.
Now I’m just getting too excited about the game Now I dropped at the place 464. That is sort of good, when you think that it begun at with 7500 players and that you made it to the top 500. But anyway it means that I didn’t win, so there is lot more for me to learn concerning poker.
Word of the day

Now I’m listening to Blind Guardian from Spotify. Their music is good, I just never have that much cared for them. It is just one of those things that you can’t really explain, but what just is. I know that it sounds stupid, but that just is how it is.
Just thinking now if this is the best way to spend a friday evening. Sitting at home on a computer doing about nothing. It isn’t really that bad, but the idea just sounds terrible if you just think about it. I should be out partying or something like that and yet here I am just listening to spotify and writing some blogposts even though it is friday. Now I’m just getting the feeling that I have repeated friday too many times on this post. The amount of words that I have for this post just passed 800. I don’t know if you should see that as a scary no life thing or as a thing that I’m quite fast at writing these blog posts. I’m just wondering that is there really that many people writing blogs in their secondary languages. I think so, but searching with google feels a little useless. You would just find the most popular options and finding some rarer ones would actually require some work. And at this point I should mention that this blog went past 900 words. I could make this post a friday miracle and make it to have over 1000 words. Because that is just what people want to do. Spend their fridays writing a blog post that would contain over 1000 words. I can’t really imagine too many people that would enjoy it, but you’ll never really know before you try it. Besides it is just couple more words and I have done it. 973 now. I think that I’m really running out of things to write about, because I’m telling the amount of words to you all the time. And now I have passed that point and I don’t know really does that mean that I have accomplished something great.
I think that I might congratulate myself and go to get a beer now. It wouldn’t hurt that much at this point. I think it would just make me feel a little better about today.
