Showing off

My Wedding is getting closer and is only 4 months down the line. With the proximity of this event now I started getting nervous about a lot of things. In the end it's a big decision which in the ideal case will be made affecting the rest of your life.

I guess it's very normal that you ask yourself questions about the future. What's more important is that you come to the right conclusions. I am feeling very happy about my wedding and am looking forward to the event. Organisation has gone relatively smooth so far.

I still hope that some of the family members that I had to invite won't confirm attendance so I could invite a few more friends. Fuck family, seriously. ;-)

I have set a deadline for end of May for confirming attendance, so whoever hasn't done so by then will have to stay at home.

Following are a few pictures from the Apartment we moved into in January. All except the rock view pic are taken from my balcony, so yeah, nice view!






Today I am going to present some pictures which I promised for ages and some other real life info.









Very just notice about my recent poker exploits: I am running very good at the moment and am making constant profits. What worries me little is that I made some seriously bad decisions in the last few sessions and still came of good. I think my decision making is a bit flawed currently due to some serious run good. I would be way out of make up if every time my goes in way behind I could prove my suck out skills.

Most horrible thing I did recently when drunk was 5-bet shoving 73s from the SB about 450bb deep. Got snapped by AKo and couldn't improve. Since that happened I am playing better again. Hope I can keep this up.

Yesterday I flopped top two pair twice, check-raised it All-in twice, run into a flopped straight twice and hit my Fullhouse re-draw twice.

150 GBP and I am out of make up and can ship back the staking money + profit. I hope the run good continues for another 17 years.

A little change happened in the Job. I changed from being the Executive Assistant for the Head of Finance to be the Executive Assistant of the big boss CEO and topics I am working on currently are massively interesting and more Poker related.

Network ecology is a new favorite topic of mine and I think I want to publish some stuff here in the near future.

Plans for this weekend include to see a good band tonight and get shitfaced, tomorrow going to the pool, swimming, reading, drinking champagne.

Life is good. I mean seriously, life is awesome.

The new rising star of Gibraltar

Again I did let some time pass before updating about some real life topics but in this post I am going to bring you up-to-date about my new old hobby. Back in the days when I lived in Germany I used to be part in a drama group since I was 13 years old. In my last school year it was my big aim to become a professional actor and I wanted to study performing arts in Germany.

But then I wet my pants because being an ugly actor is kinda tough business today. You can be pretty and be a bad actor and have a chance, but it is getting considerably more difficult if you are ugly and just an average actor. Up to this point I was not even sure if I actually may be ugly and bad.

Today I know I would have been a made man as I turned out to be good looking (incredible Keanu Reaves look-alike) and an awesome actor too. Probably as talented as Tom Hanks + Meryl Streep together.

Anyway, I decided against my glorious career and became fond of business management theories in my studies which now earned me a job behind a laptop for 98.8% of my working time. While studying I became a metalcore shouter and poker player.

Now my long-haired metalcore times are over and I had to find a new hobby for myself. Suddenly Gibraltar Radio was announcing rehearsals in the radio for a comedy play that was going to be put on stage. I took the chance and secured a big role in a play called "Holiday Snap" by Micheal Pertwee.

It is a light-hearted comedy that includes some affairs, naughtiness, alcohol and slapstick. We are rehearsing for quite a few weeks now and are making good progress. The play will be on stage at the end of May for three nights.

Acting is a lot of fun and I enjoy it but I don't regret having gone down the business way because otherwise I would not have met my soon-to-be wife.

If you want to come down and see this great piece of literature put on stage then you just need to get in touch with one of the big travel agencies that sell event packages for this. Something like two nights Hotel, VIP seats at the debut show, back stage passes and some one on one time with one of the main actors.

Should be visible just below some other irrelevant Broadway theatre packages on all known websites.

In all seriousness: If you want to come down and see it I can probably sort you out with a good deal for your overnight stay. ;-)





Even my name is spelled completely wrong. Just as it happened with every great star on the rise.
