New Year New Blog I Guess

Hi people I'm back, I have achieved all my academic goals so now I can retire with my mostly defunct body. It's not so bad I can move my thumb and 2 fingers. Sounds funny really 2 fingers, oh well. Anyhow I can now only really do limited things and these are watch tv, play warcraft, go to the cinema or fiddle with my blog and stuff. So if I spread my time on these things I should keep my sanity. Seeing as its a new year I'm going to try and do more, I reckon I can do atleast a weekly post and maybe a monthly podcast.

Anyway see you around, Bert.

I lol at humans.

Well how do we define humans, well I suppose humans have a certain genetic make up, which I don't share. So am I human? If god made man in his image what am I? Comforting I know.

Body Language

They say about 95% of human interaction is non verbal, that means in my arsenal of interaction I'm stuck to 5% or just speech. This poses a problem. 95% body language, 5% not, well this isn't strictly true I suppose because I can gesticulate with some of my body such as my face. So one could say out of 100% usage of my communication weaponry I use about 30% of it, that is all of what I feel is available to me. I use 25% of that 95% body language and a full 5% everything else. This does not make things easy for me, you see, if you use body language it leaves room for interpretation and if you overstep a boundary you can step back. If however, you use words and overstep a boundary, you my friend are screwed, it is really hard to take a word back. Take for instance trying to comfort someone, giving them a hug on the spur of the moment is better than asking if they want one or even asking if they are OK. If you think how often you respond to something without a word, then consider how to do this with just your head, this is my position. So communication with the other side of the species is unbelievable tricky and embarrassing, my body knows what to do but can't, I am stuck with words. Words mind you are very useful and meaningful if you find the right ones in the correct combination.

Google +1

Oh my this is so cool, I think it made me have a nerdgasm. I stumbled across a tool called google desktop and it is fantastic, it has a side bar which is one of the features of vista. On this side bar you can install gadgets which are basically widgets like on a mac. So far I have a music player, virtual flowers a key counter and an analogue clock on mine. Oh and it is transparent.

Cool check it out, google desktop

Casino

Hi

I went to the casino last night, it was great fun, I went with £50 and only lost £14 by the end of the night. I think I played every game except for the slots. There was one called Caribbean stud poker where you play the dealer, like blackjack but with poker hands with a progressive jackpot of £300,000 for a royal flush and £30,000 for a straight. I got 20 chips for that and left with about 8, then I moved on to the next table, casino brag. This was like the previous game only with 3 cards and no progressive jackpot, you could win £100 on that if you got a good hand, this was the best game and I lasted a long time before I got fed up, I got 15 chips on that and left with more. I had a little go on blackjack but the cards were to high. Then finally I put 10 on red at blackjack and lost, after that I called it quits. Overall with good money management, responsibility and a cool head, good fun is to be had in a casino.

Techniques

Brag -

Always play the pair plus extra game, Raise on any pair and always raise on anything equal to or higher than Q-6-4.

Caribbean Stud Poker -

1. Always raise with a pair or higher.

2. Always fold with less than the dealer.

3. Always play the power/bonus button.

Roulette -

IS COMPLETELY RANDOM AND CANNOT BE BEATEN!!!

Blackjack -

There is what we call a basic strategy but it is tricky and need to be mastered.

Remember the house always wins so quit when your ahead.

Bye for now.
