A- Ahhh 25…Here I am. Last night was gala. My mom and step-dad took me and my girlfriend to Black Hawk (Colorado’s very own mountain gambling land A.K.A “The Mountain.”) We all won good amount and we all lost a good amount more…except for my girlfriend. She is one lucky girl…other than the fact she has to put up with my bullshit.
B- The Velvet Underground is playing in the background right now and it’s just making me feel good. They are the taste of beer…I didn’t like the taste until I was more mature, perhaps a little more desperate.
A- So yes, losing sort of sucked, especially after winning about $300.00 but it was fun. I really wouldn’t recommend the Mountain to anyone who wants to ring in the New Year. They really don’t do anything festive or special for the evening. We mainly stuck around Fitzgerald’s because that place felt a little luckier then the other casinos. The only amenity there was was women in green skimpy outfits and I’m not even sure if that was special to New Year’s events? That alone might be enough to keep many an older dirty man there longer but it really didn’t cream my Twinkie. One of the highlights of the night was ditching an absolutely long and ridiculous line at the Isle of Capri’s buffet for a swift walk across the street to the Riviera to find a more delectable and cheaper buffet without a line. I’m a sucker for “all you can eat” crab legs…Although it is a sure fire way to get gout.
C- Yesterday, I did my quick run down of the year in review…That generic prototype is cliché way to end a New Year but a damn good way to bring in the New Year would be to cross my fingers really tight and type up all the things that I hope will happen for the year to come.
In no particular order…
I hope to average 7 hrs of sleep a night
I hope to win a full ride scholarship
I hope to win a new car
I hope to find intact vintage guitars in this old house’s attic
I hope to gas prices drop
I hope to win the powerball which means I could render 2-5 null-and-void
I hope to cut my teeth as a journalist with Metro’s school paper
I hope to kick my creatine snortin habit
I hope to win Playboy’s college fiction writer award….gerr baby very gerr
I hope the Gout’s (my new band of two so far) grow musically together
I hope my work cube life becomes less cube like
I hope to take all aspects of my art to the next level
I hope to maintain my New Year’s resolution??? Have to make it first
I hope to learn some piano
I hope my family get their shit together
I hope for a year better health…maybe I will start injecting Gatorade directly into my penis
I hope to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
I hope the Gout’s will be able to get gigs twice a month…half of which are paid
I hope to read 25 book….I usually do
I hope to make cool new friends
I hope to win some all expense paid trip to somewhere
I hope to learn the art of drum machine joy
I hope to get organized
I hope to get a new computer/laptop
“I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a balla, I wish I had a rabbit in a hat…” You know the rest!!!
So next 2006’s year in review better have all of those “I hope” accomplished or I would consider myself a raging failure!!! A failure!!!
B- In other news…My sister Roxann just called me to wish me a happy birthday….that was very sweet.
