What Problem? I Ain’t Got No Problem…
I’ve been living the past couple of months like I give a shit. And you know where that has led me? To nothing, absolutely nothing. When I didn’t give a shit, I had nothing; and now that I give a shit, I still have nothing. So, I have to ask myself, what’s the deal? How come I feel like I’m no better off than I was. Except now, I’m always tired all the time. The only good thing is that I have a little bit more money to burn than before.
In fact, this past weekend, I went on the riverboat to do some gambling. I lost 70 bucks. I lost it all on blackjack. I started off with $50. Then I kept fluctuating between being $20 ahead or down. I finally hit the big score and stayed ahead by $30. I walked away and joined my friend at the craps table. I watched the dice roll for a few rounds, but all the while I was itching to get back to blackjack. I had $80 to burn, and I felt it in me that I could pull off a big score. So, after 20 minutes, I headed back.
I played a few more rounds where I ended up 10 dollars down. Within another 10 minutes, I had lost the rest of the 70 dollars. But I wasn’t done. I put up another $20, and within another 10 minutes, I was up by $5. But after 5 minutes, I had lost the whole 25 dollars. I felt like a piece of shit. I think I even wanted to cry. It was a straight pussy moment for me.
I got up and walked back over to the craps table. I stayed with skillet for another hour and a half. Homeboy broke even. So, I guess the whole night wasn’t a complete bust. Plus, just yesterday, I played the Mega Millions. I hit the big money ball (n/h?) plus one of the white ones. That means I won $3 dollars.
On the ticket, it says it will triple any amount you win on the lower pots. So, I really won 9 dollars. So, instead of being 70 dollars down, I’m really only down by $62. Now I got until next payday to make up the rest.
