excuse me, do u speak english?

Its 5:15 am, and I am now semi-settled in Barcelona. str8 chillin with my bois... felipe "mojave" ramos, and team pros andre akkari and alex gomes. we are all lined up right now downstairs at our hotel in some conference center each using our laptops to go online and what not.... im crashing for the night on felipe and andre's hotel room floor b/c my friend sam apparently does not have a hotel room until 2moro... so when he showed up last night they told him they were booked so he went to another hotel without letting me kno lol

Anyways the last 24 hours have been to say the least interesting. At exactly 5:15 am yesterday, i was deep in 2 donkaments on pokerstars, not yet in the money tho. I was fairly deep in the 1050 2nd chance, and the 320 2nd chance. I was insanely tired and not looking forward to having to be ready to go in the hotel lobby at 9:15 am but i figured I was going to go deep in at least one of these tourneys so i would just stay up all night... well anyways i ended up getting absolutely screwed in the 1050 and busted about 35 spots away from the money. lost Q10 vs AK all in on a T hi flop... which made me shortstacked with 7 bbs which i called off from the sb with KQ to a button shove with 64ss board ran Ks Qh 6c 10s 2s weeeeeeee lolaments. then i ended up donking off the 320 and bubbling 174th... 171 got paid... shipped 33 from the sb to a button raise and the bb had QQ. i suck i kno so i went 0 for 4 on tourneys yesterday 3 screwjobs and 1 screwup :(

so i end up passing out around 6:30 am after quickly packing up all my crap. I set my phone alarm for 8:45 am so that ill be in the lobby ready to join the group im supposed to travel with to barcelona. I had already bought a train ticket which was scheduled to leave at 11:40 am but a few people of the group had tickets for a train that was leaving at 10:30 and had one less stop than mine. So my plan was to exchange mine or just get a new one no biggie. So OBV my alarm does not wake me up or i turned it off or whatever but somehow by the grace of God i wake up naturally at 10:45 am.... in a crazy panic, i quickly grab all my stuff and check out, grab a cab to the train station. I make my train in time by about 10 minutes and am off to my first stop...

We pull in around 1:42 and my next train leaves at 3 pm. Im looking at all the destination boards and screens and everything is obviously in french and it doesnt have my next destination up there and the gates or whatever you call it arent posted yet... so im asking everyone i see... excuse me, do you speak english? finally i got someone who did, who was able to explain to me that my destination was up there but it was under a different name which was the "final" destination of where my train was going. So this guy was going on the same train as me, so i just kinda kept my eye on him and followed him where he went. lol when we finally got to the train... i showed my ticket and asked what car am i in... guy said you are in car 1... this is car 17 (pointed to the left) o yay i only have to walk about a half mile to my car i had to take like 3 breaks, mind you i have about 120 lbs worth of luggage... and im not exactly the strongest guy in the world. ill go to the gym if i want to work out... but i really dont want to feel me?

So now this train is delayed like 10 mins and im supposed to have like 18 minutes in between arriving at the next stop and getting on the next train... so we end up getting there at 4:56 pm and my last train to barcelona is leaving at 5 pm... which also everyone from the group should be on this train now. so luckily the train was really close and i was able to get on really quick. so i text my friend noah who is supposed to be on this train:

Me: Where all you donks at?
Noah: Where r u- did you get abducted? we called u, knocked on ur door
Me: Serious? I somehow woke up at 10:45.... (whole story etc) im in car 2
Noah: we missed the train. we had to hire a driver to take us to barcelona


WOW! so it actually worked out perfectly that i didnt wake up, didnt hear them or anything and made my original train... so i just chill on this train... watched part of a movie till my laptop died, listened to some music on my ipod and relax finally, not stressing bout making my next train, getting off at the right stop, so stressful.

I arrive at the hotel only to find out that i actually don't have a room for the night but in trying to find internet to contact Sam online, i bumped into akkari and then found felipe and they were cool with letting me crash.... so here i sit with my friends chillin in SPAIN.... YA BOI!!! more to come later from this... 2moro im probably going to go to the beach with felipe and then maybe see what games are running at the casino or play online before the EPT awards ceremony which I have to be at the pre party thing for pictures or what not at like 7 or 7:30 i think. O ya for those who don't know, I was nominated for 2 of the 6 EPT awards.... (crossing fingers) lol jk i dont really care if i win but its an honor to be nominated. HOLLER!
