Monkey's off my back, for now.

It was pool night tonight, down at the USA Club. Met the guys at 7:30 and hoped they'd play me late again, so I'd have a chance to get some practice in. But they decided to play me first. This time I went up against a dude who was about my speed, and I managed to pull it out. He won the first game and then scratched the second, sinking the 8 ball out of turn. I won the third by hitting a trick shot that one of the other guys showed me how to set up. I hit the 8 off the far side and angled it back into the corner pocket down where I was. I was like, "Are you sire this is gonna work?", and they were like "Just fuckin' shoot it!" It was purdy. Hey, a win is a win, by God. Lord knows when I'll get another.



After that I just sat back and watched the other guys and gals play. Tried to learn a thing or two.



Of course, the booze and cigars were on hand. I had my regular three mugs of Dark Lager, and smoked a Taino, and then a Mac. The Tainos are a bit stronger than the Macs, and take a while to finish. Long, fat bastards. Fittin' eh? Well, kinda.

To celebrate the monkey bein' off my back, here's a classic video from YouTube. Don't click on it if you're easily offended. Cheers.
