Hurricane Season No More

An era has come to an end. 

It's Monday morning and I just did what I've been doing every Monday morning for the last couple of years. 

-Come into work
-Check work email
-Get a cup of hazelnut coffee
-Read Hurricane Mikey's blog while I get ready for the day ahead

EVERY GODDAMN MONDAY

Mikey is as addicting as the caffeine I'd ingest while reading him.  And heaven forbid there was no new post waiting for me on Monday.  I'd be reclicking him all day waiting for my fix.

I loved reading the blog of a poker dealer in Las Vegas.  I'm a poker girl so why wouldn't I?  But if you've read Mikey, you know there's alot more to his blog than poker.  Hell, a girl could be waiting weeks for a post with actual poker content, but that didn't matter, as long as Mikey was posting something.

I enjoyed ALL the posts, regardless of poker content.  There were posts about:

-His trips to Costco to buy Mexican Coke, trail mix and cashews
-March Mayhem
-Boobs
-Recipes
-Hazelnut Coffee
-Jigsaw Puzzles
-That crazy biatch, Marcie
-Purchasing his health and beauty products online (coconut body wash)
-Melancholy Christmas posts
-Peanut butter balls
-Book reviews (I just finished reading Mike Matusow's Check Raising The Devil because of Mikey's review)
-Food Pron (no this is not a typo)
-Cocktail waitresses
-Stripper that looked like Reggie Lewis* Funniest frigging story EVAR
-Guest bloggers like VERY JOSIE.  You guys know the first thing I ever wrote about poker was posted on Mikey's blog.  I cannot tell you how thrilled I was.

As much as I loved the posts about poker I came to realize that it was the writing I loved most of all.  Mikey's writing would take me far away from the office.  Now that's a frigging gift that keeps on giving.

Anyway, now Mikey is on his way to Tennessee.  Gone from Vegas but surely not gone from blogosphere.  Even still - When I read his post this morning I got the same uneasy feeling I got when he "decided" to up and take the summer off from blogging. (obviously he didn't consult me about THAT).

Ugh, it could be weeks until Mikey blogs again.  And yes I read many blogs every day now but they don't have that Mikey voice that lulls me into contentment.  (btw I am talking about his literary voice, but he has a damn nice real voice too)

God speed Mikey!  And after you've settled in for a day or two you might wanna plug in the ole laptop and write up a post.  For those crazy reclickers.  I'm just sayin'.

And for my readers....if you wanna read the funniest shit EVER.  READ THIS  It's Mikey's post about a crazy weekend and a stripper that reminded him of Reggie Lewis.  It does not end well.  Soooo funny.

Sweet Mama

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.

Like Kissing My Sister.....

The Very Josie was Very fun yet I'm Very frustrated. (looking at you Jordan) We ended up with (13) players.  Not too shabby, considering it was Dank night. The players were: 1. Coop 2. Frankie Baby 3. Gary 4. Jordan 5. Kattitude 6. Lucky Duck 7. Memphis Mojo 8. The Lovely Very Josie 9. WolfsButt, I mean Wolfshead :P 10. Edgie??? 11. GoBurn1 12. My sis, PrettyCat1 a/k/a Cricket 13. Baynes Baynes made an entrance showing up a tiny bit late, but what a pleasant surprise.  I could've kissed that frog!  (frog avatar)  Baynes I think you can leave work at a decent time one a month, right?  The Very Josie is only once a month! 2 tables.  I started off with Mojo, Kat, Edgie, GoBurn1, Baynes & Ducky at my table.  Started off playing good and stayed that way.  Caught some decent cards early on and kept the chips I won.  But that Damn Mojo was a thorn in my side for the whole game.  He got MORE chips early on and held onto them too.  Mojo will now be called Nem

Upset

I got a lot of much needed sleep last night and woke up with intentions of writing a very funny story but plans have changed my friends. I just read Tony's Latest Post and I'm too worried or upset to write about anything so frivolous.  I think many of his readers just see him as an interesting story, and not a person.  I see the person, who I was trying so very hard to steer away from a train wreck, but it didn't work.  In fact, the part that scares me the most is maybe I, with my good intentions, pushed him further off the cliff.  Maybe I put too much pressure on him to avoid the machines - too much pressure about something he is unable to control.  I need to shut the fuck up and stop giving out unsolicited advice, which most likely will not happen.  I cannot express how badly I feel about this. I was only trying to help because sometimes when you're in the eye of the hurricane you don't have the entire picture, at least not as well as someone on the outside l
