Well, for starters, my awesome cousin is down from Colorado, and we've been doing all kinds of amazing things. The high point so far, was going to Atlantic City to gamble in Caesars Palace. Unfortunately, my Mom couldn't find her camera, so we didn't get any pictures of this amazing place. But needless to say, the entrance is beautiful. The ceiling is painted like the sky, their sexy large blue lights made for a really nice ambiance while huge statues of Caesar filled the room. Truly it was breathtaking.

Now I have some good news to share, and some bad news. The good news is, I came out 120 dollars on top by the time I left. The bad news is, thanks to the stupidest mistake ever made in a casino, I could have came out 320 dollars on top. The mistake was a big one. Around the first turn on the poker machine, I turned my 20 dollars into 150 dollars by betting 5 credits and getting four of a kind. I switched machine as my cousin continued to get shitty hands. Now here comes a disaster, after a few turns on the other poker machine, I got a flush, all hearts, I would have won 200 dollars from that bitch, but I got so excited, I forgot to hold my cards, FUCK FUCK FUCKING FUCK! I hit the deal button, and bam, there went my 200 dollars.

Now I know I came out on top, but I can't enjoy the 100 some odd dollars I won, knowing that I flushed my flush down the shitter. Everyone else in my family lost money but me. Now if I had done the smart thing, and held all my cards, I'm afraid I would be so cocky the whole night, I'd be talking in my foreign guy accent. saying things like "To for where I won my 300 I became the winner." And other such things. But what can I say, I fucked up big time, and was/am really pissed off.

A good thing, however, about casino's, is all the hard drinks cost only 1 dollar, 1 dollar to tip your waitress, other than that, they're free. So with four dollars, I drank four very strong rum and cokes. You see, they want to get you drunk, so you'll be more inclined to gamble your money away, but it's fun to take advantage of the alcohol and still play it safe, or in my case, to continuously win so you stay on top, and always win back the money you put out. Still, fucking 200 dollars that could have been mine, I haven't been able to stop thinking about this since it happened. Fucking a man, fucking a.
