I Don't Blog Just to Complain

Well, maybe I do. Only time will tell. Yesterday I was thinking about my next TGAO blog and I started thinking that maybe I am writing for only to be able to complain about the things that bother me. I checked all my post thus far and so far the complaints are winning. In an effort to give some balance I offer you:

THINGS I LOVE/LIKE

I love Rock n' Roll ( That is up until the music of the 90's. I don't ever get to hear anything new
in the DR).
I love my Hyundai.
I love my Blackberry.
I love to play Poker.
I love Massiel.
I love QD. Harry is too distant to be loved, but he is kinda cool.
I love Michele, and I love that she is marrying Michael.
I love being able to wear shorts every day and having to use the AC in January and February.
I love to see people in their Tahoes and Expeditions getting 2 miles per gallon.
I loved seeing the truck filled with pigs pulled over with it's driver filling a bucket with water
from the side of the road and then throwing it onto the pigs to cool them off.
I love the music of Mana, Marco Antonio Soliz, Juan Luis Guerra.
I love I'm Yours by Jason Mraz.
I love Suji. Sometimes you meet people who bring a certain sense of joy and fun to the lives of others. That's Suji.
I love the Tao of Poker.
I love the pool at the Almirante and that I have always had access to it.
I love my brother and sister.
I love that Massiel and my exwife have become friends. Aracelis has always been one of my favorite people. She was just not a good wife, for me.
I love blogging, even if no one is reading it. It gives me a sense of something, I'm just not quite
sure what that something is.
I love Sal, even though he can be one of the most annoying people in the world.
I love the internet.
I love Google and Ask.com. I love that I can find the answer to anything.
I love chicken.
I love smoking pot, even though I haven't done it in a long time.
I love Poker tournaments.
I love Zeca Pagodinho. (He's a Brazilian singer I discovered about 20 years ago. I drive around listening to his music, singing at the top of my lungs, not understanding a word.
I love You Tube.
I love Pablo Bernal. He was the GM of the second casino at which I had Poker tables. He¡s now the GM of a Casino in Maracaibo, Venezuela, and hates it.
I love York bite size Peppermint Patties.
I love Wintergreen flavored Life Savers.
I love the writings of The Sports Guy, Bill Simmons.
I love reading the New York Times, make that I love reading.
I love living in Santiago as long as I am not driving at night. It's big, relatively safe and affordable. Thanks to my prior ownership of Poker tables in both major casinos in town I am a mini-celebrity, which means that I am constantly being recognized in public places and greeted like someone important (which is not really so).
I love.................

I like lots of the blogs that Pauly refers to
I like Poker Stars
I like Cung Weng
I like that, as a kid, I decided that my favorite number was 7 (my birth date)and that my
favorite color was green, and that I have never changed either. Even though I have never
owned anything green, changing the color never entered my mind. Ask me, and without
hesitation I will tell you, "Green".
I like Sea Bass.
I like Moncito, even though he has been jerking me around for years about partnering with me in a Poker Room. I want to open a real Poker Room, not just a couple of tables in a casino.



I like..................

I think I am going to let this entry be a work in process. I am sure that I am forgetting a lot.
