On Sunday morning, my family and I went to IKEA. I have mixed feelings about IKEA. For a long time, I considered myself anti-IKEA based on a fairly misguided and highly abstract principle, which is not to say one shouldn't have opinions and/or make life decisions that are based on fairly misguided and highly abstract principles. Most principles likely are! It's OK! But did you know you can get a full-ass breakfast with Dutch SWEDISH pancakes*––which looked like crepes to my eyes––and eggs and potatoes and turkey sausage for literally $2? I knew they had super cheap-ass food that was actually supposed to be decent, but I didn't know it was that cheap. So I've decided to lighten my anti-IKEA stance. I am currently pro-IKEA breakfast and pro-IKEA chachkies & knickknacks, and anti-IKEA furniture. So, for all intensive purposes, and in the grand scheme of things, I suppose I am still more anti-IKEA than pro-IKEA, their being––you know––a furniture store at the end of the day. But I think that's a cool thing about life. You can be anti- and pro-, and you can change your mind all the time. Literally who cares. One day you can be shy with the ocean and the next you can harpoon a shark with your fist.

BIG NEWS. Revamping/considering this project after not looking at it for a few years. I like it. Has potential. Needs tweaking but basically a †-project.
YANKEES +111 (Bet $10.00 to Win $11.10): Hoping the young kids hit Dickey. Really hope our youth can hit the Dick hard. That's not a weird thing to write. It's just BASEBALL TALK. I'm talking about a real baseball game, this one in fact. I've put my last (imaginary) ten bucks on this, people! The soccer game tied 0-0 (shoulda parlayed the under with a TIE)! I need this!!!
FC ORENBURG
Just put $12.50 on the first half ML of a Russian professional soccer game. Orenburg is playing their third game in less than an hour and they haven't scored a goal yet all season. I got this bet at meaty +260. They're due, right? RIGHT?!
(PS. This is all part of my larger ploy to acquire enough capital to bet on football from my initial $5 free bet, which I quadrupled last night! If this puppy hits, I will have turned that into $50+ in less than 24 hours so let's do this y'all!)
