Feeling Better

Nick MomrikLeave a comment

I’m feeling better today for the first time in nearly a week. It turns out I just have the common cold/flu. I also managed to get an eye infection somehow. I’m blessed with a low white blood cell count, so when I catch something it hits me a bit harder than everyone else. Last night I finally got some sleep which can be the #1 cure sometimes. It was only 4-5 hours, but that’s probably more than I’ve had since Wednesday combined.

I just weighed myself and I’m down to 175 pounds from 185. That’s my ideal weight, but I’d much rather have reached it through exercise and eating right, not lack of appetite and feeling like shit.

Trying to Recover

Originally I took Thursday, Friday, and Monday off because I have 230 hours of vacation saved up at work. Yes, you read that right, 230 hours or nearly 6 weeks. I had plans to do some things around my place and enjoy the warm weather Michigan finally was going to get. I was also coming up to Rogers City for the weekend (I’m here now) to golf with Dad and visit Mom for Mother’s Day.

I had only taken one vacation day (the day I bought my TrailBlazer) in the last 5or 6 months, so I was long over due and really looking forward to it. Wednesday at work I felt sore all over so I thought I might be coming down with something. I hadn’t slept well the night before, so I kind of brushed the thoughts aside thinking I might just be tired.

I’ve signed up for a new gambling ad service called Winner Ads. They have a great service that is just getting off the ground. The rates they pay publishers are the best I’ve seen and they provide unbelievable customer service. I’ve sent in a few messages and have received responses very quickly. If you would like to sign up and try them out, please use me as a referral and I’ll get a 10% kickback. To use me as a referral give my email address (mtdewvirus -AT- gmail =DOT= com) and one of my URLs (either 2holecards.com or pokerchiptricks.com). It’s different from most other advertiser because they pay based on the number of ad impressions and not on the number of clicks. Sign up and try them out! What have you got to lose?

I’m still playing and still haven’t been motived to write about it. I had the worst run of my poker playing days early Saturday morning and afternoon, blowing over $300 at UB in about 2 hours and then another $240 at Party 10 hours later for over $500 in less than 14 hours. I finished […]

Review: Meet the Fockers

Nick Momrik10 Comments

Meet The Fockers (Widescreen Edition)Meet the Parents was a great movie, but Meet the Fockers was disappointing. The movie had it’s moments, but it wasn’t nearly as good as the first film.

Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman, and Barbra Streisand all did an excellent job with their parts in the movie. My issue was with the writing of the script. The jokes just weren’t very funny. I don’t care how good the acting is…it can’t make up for a poor script. I watched the extended version on the DVD and that made it even worse. Instead of actually making smooth transitions to an added scene they alerted you with an icon on the screen and then completely jumped to the new scene. It was horrible. I’ve watched a lot of extended edition DVDs and none were ever done bad.

Meet the Fockers isn’t so bad that you shouldn’t watch it, but don’t expect anything up to the standard set by Meet the Parents. I give the movie a C-.
