I've played awesome for 5,000 hands yet I'm running horrible

I have played the best poker in a long time this week yet I'm running horrible
QQ vs. KQ on the 48QK board all in he hits a K on the river, money all in after turn.
AA vs. 99 all in preflop 9 hits on the flop
Q4s vs. Q6 all in on river on the QQ346 board
AK vs. 33 all in on the AQ5 flop, turn 3, river 3 (that one pissed me off so much I needed to quit the session)
AK vs. AQ all in after the turn board is AJ62, he hits a Q on the river

For some odd reason I can't post hand histories in the blog. The most important thing to remember in these situations is to not tilt. I did a fantastic job of controlling my anger. It's always better to quit than to continue when you're upset. All of these hands happened today except the Q4 vs. Q6 hand. It's not a bad beat but one hell of a cooler (very cold). Stars and FTP have both butt fucked me with no lube. I'm yet to get my money all in the pot as an underdog which means I'm playing awesome. Despite these horrible bad beats and coolers I'm still running slightly under half of what I expect to run.

I'm excited for New York which is 16 days away. It will be a busy (site seeing) and at times relaxing vacation. Since we have a King Deluxe Suite or whatever you can actually have massages in your room (which is balla). You have to pay for the massages but I plan to get a long one. I will also be fucking my girlfriend everywhere. She paid for her end of the trip just to let everyone know that she is not some leech. 70 Park Avenue also has the balla robes that you use to dry off in. For those unfamiliar with New York we will be staying in Midtown Manhattan (fucking expensive). Our hotel is on Park Avenue (check your Monopoly board). Around my Birthday I think we may take another vacation, this time to somewhere warm (Vegas, L.A. or perhaps Costa Rica).

I've hired a Poker coach for 5 lessons. I'm NOT broke or really struggling, I just wanted to sharpen up my game a little bit. I've hired an excellent 600NL -1000NL player to coach me at 400NL (although I have the money to play 600NL) of course I play higher games in other forms (O8 and Limit and recently H.O.R.S.E.) I've been running at around 3.00ptbb/hr and want to get that up to 5ptbb/hr before I play 600NL again.

I've handled so much stupid shit in the past 2 weeks it's nauseating.
Got new phone (number still not switched over after a week, 3 calls to T-Mobile)
Booked N.Y. trip
All my Christmas shopping is done (except Aissa's IPOD) I also bought her an autographed Brandon Inge baseball and a very expensive case with a Tigers logo and nameplate.
Downloaded CD's for Aissa
Picked up all the leafs
Oil change
Cleaned basement
Ordered new printer cartridges
Looked at Insurance Plans for 2008 (waiting for my Mom so she can be there cause she knows insurance shit better than me and I know a lot).
Had a lesson with Max (poker coach)
Met Aissa's family for Thanksgiving
Brushed Max (the dog) countless times
Made my Christmas list
Went to Michigan vs. OSU game
2 hours worth of fixing my parents computer
Dentist appt.
Return Dentist appt. for fillings
Dermatologist appt. (1 month left) my face looks flawless according to others
Football blog
Bought a new wallet finally
Prescription pick up at CVS
Haircut
and probably at least 15 other things that are slipping my mind

I bought a new phone 11-20 from the T-Mobile stand at Macomb Mall
11-21 I called to have my Nextel number switched to my T-Mobile phone (called T-Mobile). They said 24 hours it will be switched.
11-23 I call T-Mobile because the number hasn't been transfered and they said the computer system had a glitch and a programmer will manually import the Nextel number, will be done within 24 hours.
11-26 Today I went back to Macomb Mall they called T-Mobile and were told the same thing I was. I'm pissed because this sounds simple and pissed about the customer service.
If by 11-28 this Wed. I don't have the number switched I will use my 14 day return policy and go elsewhere. This is getting ridiculous.
