			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I&#8217;ve been requested by the hundreds ( Echo) and Hundreds&#8230; of my fans&#8230;</p>
<p>Lets not do a travel report cause 28 hours on the road to and from Lubbock and to and from Texarkana and Little Rock was enough to give me car lag&#8230;</p>
<p>Here are my Top 5 Canadians</p>
<p><span id="more-1244"></span></p>
<p># 5.&nbsp; Talented and beautiful, one day will let me post her mug on here.&nbsp; She&#8217;s been down to Okie Vegas and is one of the NOTORIOUS Canadian Butt Grabbing Chicks&#8230;</p>
<p>Katitude</p>
<p>#4.&nbsp; Natasha Henstridge &#8211; Not only hot for some of her worse work, like She Spies, but some of her best work, like her current role as Taylor on the ABC Hit Eli Stone.</p>
<p>#3. Tom Cavanagh &#8211; The Creator of the $10 bet! Now also on Eli Stone.</p>
<p>#2.Howie Mandel &#8211; Everyone&#8217;s favorite OCD comedian.&nbsp; Look Howie, I give ya the pound, but please just one day, give a freaking high FIVE PLEASE!</p>
<p>#1. Shania Twain &#8211; I&#8217;m still amazed that when she called me on the hotline at my job early for a scheduled interview I was able to get out Sha nuh nuh out rather than to just drool and grunt.</p>
<p>Blogger Top 5+- (In no particular order to avoid hurting blogger feelings)</p>
<p>Pirate Lawyer</p>
<p>Schaubs</p>
<p>Astin (Bumped out of the EH Top 5 by Natasha)</p>
<p>Joanne</p>
<p>Fuel</p>
<p>Bam Bam</p>
<p>Now I challenge those on the Blogger Top 5+ (and YOU Kat) to name your Top 5 Americans and Top 5 American Bloggers.</p>
<p>That is all</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My friend <a href="http://www.alcanthang.com/poker/index.html">Al </a>told me that I had to tell you about the <a href="http://sirfwalgman.blogspot.com/">worst poker player</a> ever. But I don’t have the time.&nbsp; My neck and shoulders are killing me.&nbsp; I’m going to try and get some sleep but then I forgot to pimp that the <a href="http://smokkee.blogspot.com/">Smokkee</a> induced Bodog will happen tonight, probably without me but who knows. If you haven’t <a href="http://www.bodoglife.com/servlets/Welcome?ID=PEBAC97">signed up for Bodog</a>… WHY NOT? <a href="http://www.bodoglife.com/poker/">Bodog poker </a>isn’t available for my <a href="http://astincubed.blogspot.com/">Canadian</a> <a href="http://www.pokerkat.blogspot.com/">friends</a> or that one person who reads me in one of the Koreas.</p>
<p>But I thank you for each of <a href="http://www.highonpoker.blogspot.com/">your</a> <a href="http://www.dearpokerdiary.blogspot.com/">kind</a> <a href="http://www.gcox25.blogspot.com/">words</a>, your sweet im’s and your friendship.</p>
<p>No news from New York as they still have my uncle in a medically induced coma.</p>
<p>Dad is going to have a colonoscopy among other oscopies.</p>
<p>If I have news, I&#8217;ll pass it on here.</p>
<p>Note to Kerri.&nbsp; Stop worrying,. I&#8217;ll be reasonably ok.</p>
<p>BTW I won two tokens tonight fooling around.. Now I have to figure out what to do with them.</p>
<p>Luv ya, mean it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeah, I know Astin, she is very smart and YOU got it, but I can&#8217;t tell her because then she will bounce off the walls.&nbsp; The last surprise I told her about she thought it was a pony.&nbsp; Because of this I have to remain aloof, but if she guesses it&#8230; GOOD for her.&nbsp; Her and her brother need one of their own.</p>
<p><strong>If I knew how using MT 4.0 could set up a password protected area where I could talk about work I would.&nbsp; But I don&#8217;t know how.&nbsp; Somedays I wish I did.</strong></p>
<p>As for your Canadian Politics, sometimes the funniest things to watch is CBC Coverage of the Canadian Elections.&nbsp; You guys are truly messed up!&nbsp; It was a joke, I have a candidate (one of the majors) that I will vote for, but it is more fun to mess with people and make them try to figure out whom I&#8217;m voting for.&nbsp; Cause I believe in getting drug dealers hooked on their own stuff, get them dt&#8217;ing and start over again, cruel maybe, punishment definitely.&nbsp; But I also believe in a woman&#8217;s right to choose.&nbsp; I believe that hunters should be able to bear arms, but not AK-47&#8242;s.&nbsp; I believe that we should give a job to anyone who wants one and bring back the WPA, among other agencies and rebuild this country.&nbsp; I believe that organized labor is what has made this country great but then again I don&#8217;t believe that they deserve everything they negotiate for in their contracts.</p>
<p>I believe that government BY the People, and not the lobbyists should rule this earth but know that it&#8217;s actually the opposite.&nbsp; I think the DH should be abolished, the Black Sox and Pete Rose should be put into the Hall of Shame portion of the Hall of Fame.&nbsp; I believe that we should shorten the regular season, give LESS playoff opportunities (HINT HINT NHL and NBA) and that I shouldn&#8217;t have to buy cable to watch &#8220;Monday Night Football&#8221;</p>
<p>I believe in giving people second chances and love but believe that my one chance for true love has gone.</p>
<p>I believe in hard work, clean living, and charity.</p>
<p>I believe in people doing things so I don&#8217;t have to (Thanks Doc Chako!)</p>
<p>I believe in my family, my friends and the Big Guy.</p>
<p>But I don&#8217;t believe in drinking and driving, addiction, cruelty, hate and rap music.</p>
<p>I am starting to believe in myself and I believe in you.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m so glad that the kids will be here tomorrow.&nbsp; I need to be reaching out rather than pushing away as I have been in the last 36 hours.&nbsp; I can deal with pressure, I love pressure, but pressure without reward or even the illusion of reward means crap to me.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span id="more-1055"></span></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve hadn&#8217;t played cards much since the infamous &#8220;Aww What the hell tournament&#8221; last Sunday.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve been avoiding the BBToo events, not because I can&#8217;t handle the amount of donkery that are in them, but it&#8217;s not the correct fergesoneqsue play I need to make.&nbsp; I need to play the $2 SNG&#8217;s until I have $100 over my initial $30 &#8220;love gift&#8221;.&nbsp; Then move up to $5 sng&#8217;s until I&#8217;m to $250.&nbsp; It&#8217;s a bastardized way of the Fergeson, but my target is 50 big bets before I move up.&nbsp; If I am ever below&nbsp;35 big bets, I move back down.&nbsp; Play my game and get prepared for the big tourney.</p>
<p>As for relationships, I find myself asking for them , then not knowing what to do when I get them.</p>
<p>Maybe the loser is not in any of my exes but in me.</p>
<p>A good friend of mine told me that I needed to&nbsp;have my self esteem kicked in the ass.&nbsp; I think I am a good person, but self doubt trickles in.&nbsp; I hate the holidays that I don&#8217;t have my kids but another friend (one of the Boob Patrol at the Jewelry store) told me that I needed to &#8220;Go Overboard&#8221; in the times that I don&#8217;t have the kids to embrace everything that in the past I would have just thrown away.</p>
<p>So I started with the living room and I have been making small changes to my enviornment.&nbsp; Maybe if I start to take care of me first maybe something will change and improve.</p>
<p>I forgot that I don&#8217;t have the X-Mas tree up yet, usually when I have the kids for the holidays I have the mini X-Mas tree up so I can put presents underneath there for the kids.&nbsp; SO that will be one of the things that I have to get done when I get home tonight.</p>
<p>My stomach is in a knot.&nbsp; I haven&#8217;t seen the kids since May and I am so scared to see how much in six months that they have changed.&nbsp; I&#8217;m just very glad that I get to spend a week with them but it scares me to see what changes emotionally. mentally, and physically.that have happened.</p>
<p>Fear.</p>
<p>I try to survive it, yet it sneaks back into my way of life.</p>
<p>My friend Astin commented yesterday that the phrase &#8220;It&#8217;s only 382 miles to Lubbock&#8221; would sound good as a song title.&nbsp; But to make it a country song , you have to add, &#8220;but she&#8217;s just a smile from my heart&#8221;.</p>
<p>Will check back in later if I feel like it&#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
