Newcombe, Bucco & Math?
After lunch w/ Brown yesterdy, I suddenly got the poker itch and decided to spend a few hours in the afternoon at Blackhawk, hoping to come home with an xtra $100. That was the initial goal ...$100 and I'm on my way home. Porter and I got up there around 3 and found 2 open seats at the Lodge no more than 10 minutes later. Within the first half hour, I was down $60. Porter won a $60 pot on his first hand but lost his limit an hour later. After Porter left the table, my roll began. I was taking pot after pot and I felt unbreakable. I went from $40 to a little over $220. I was at my goal with a few dollars xtra to buy a pack of cigs. Minutes later Porter came strolling by and asked if I wanted to go. Naturally, I asked for 20 more minutes, which eventually lead to an additional 3 hours of Limit Texas Holdem and with nothing to show for it. I lost it all. I wanted to fight myself. I reached my goal within 2 hours then greed took over and any rational thought when right out the window. AHHHHH! I'm still upset with myself.
Instead of coming home at 6 like I planned, I walked in the door at 11. I made dinner and stared at the TV for an hour while replaying my afternoon in my head. There were a few moments after I ate, when I thought to head back up to Blackhawk. Then I quickly realized how dumb that I idea was, I brushed my teeth and went to bed.
Waking up this morning, I had trouble differentiating my dream from reality. I had one of those dreams that "seemed so real." I was back in high school heading to my last period class. I remembered (maybe from a previous dream) that I changed my schedule around and that my last period class was different from where I was going. I ended up in Newcombe's class, my high school english teacher. Walking into the classroom, I felt that something wasn't right but couldn't put my finger on it. I told Newcombe that I wasn't sure if I was registered for his class and asked if it would be ok to sit in. He really didn't answer so I assumed it was fine to stay. As I strolled over to an empty seat, I glanced at the board. Newcombe was erasing math equations, swiping the eraser from left to right. Then as he swiped the eraser from top to bottom of the black board and new math equations appeared. It took a second to register but Newcombe was performing magic tricks while teaching math. I know ...strange! Bugged out, I tried to find an open seat in the classroom as quickly as possible. Either I was scared of Newcombe or I couldn't wait to see what he was going to do next. I eventually found a seat in the back of the room by my high school classmate, Bucco. I took the seat and moved it over to her right to give her some room. As class went on, stranger things began to happen. A student asked Newcombe a question and to answer the student, he slapped two chalk erasers together. The cloud of chalk puffed in the air and suddently the chalk dust clumped together and provided the answer. HA! Was Newcombe from Hogwarts? From what I recall, Newcombe never spoke and continued to answer questions in some magical way. He still had his grey beard and was just as tall from what I remember in HS ... magical! At the end of class, I realized that I had my legs propped up on an open seat in front of Bucco and I. What was strange at this moment was thatI had my leg over hers and our seats were closer than when I first got there. It was high school romantic. HAHA! It's so MTV!
I'm obviously leaving out some detail but you can imagine that the dream got stranger and stranger as it went on. I ended up in a cab with Bucco heading towards an apartment. It could of been hers, mine, or someone else's ... but it was an apartment that I've never ever seen in my entire life. It looked like it belonged somewhere in Forest Hills but the reality is that it could of been anywhere. Before things got really interesting, my phone rang. I woke up to 20Red asking if I wanted to watch the Viks at the Tic. I immediately said no, hung up and hoped to fall right back into my dream. It never happend, no matter how hard I shut my eyes. It felt so real, I felt really awkward after I woke up. Minutes later, I spoke with Choke and Brown, planning our trip down to Denver for Dim Sum. I felt right back to normal and couldn't wait for DIM SUM .. Yum Yum!
Not sure what the dream means if it means anything at all. Trying to analyze it would just want me to go back to that "special place." If I ever do, I'll be sure to make it to the apt before I answer the phone. Better yet, I'm setting my phone to silent before I go to bed each night. Sweet dreams!!!
