"What to do, what do do.........."

What Next? Mood
Thursday, September 24, 2009

As I walked to the car in the morning I was greeted with the sight of my car radio missing and the moonroof top broken. Nothing else was taken. What kind of an a**hole would do that?

It is an older car and nothing in the car or the car itself were worth much. So why would they ruin my day? It is not even worth my reporting to the police or insurance company.

Is this payback from last Friday when I went to the lounge after a frustrating day and lo and behold, they now have video machines. Machines that pay money if you win. It seems that these machines are the rage in all the restaurants and bars. Even though it is "illegal" to gamble in the state, a lot of businesses have these machines. Hell, some of these businesses cannot survive without these machines.

To make a long story short, a few beers led to some money in the machines and then deja vu.

So after that I have taken it one day at a time and now I will watch where I decide to unwind.

What makes this even more frustrating is that I felt I had it under control and was feeling good about myself. Oh well...................back to the drawing board.

    Yep, that's the madness of it all, eh?......We're fine......until we place that first bet.....then it's loose again and we're powerless to stop...... only solution is to not start......... Easy to say.....not so easy to do.......eventually we get sick of kicking ourselves in the butt and we stop.......until then we gotta get used to a few bruises on the bottom.

    Sorry about your car getting ripped off...... that sucks...... but, like they say, life ain't always fair.
    Please try not to let it ruin more than just the one day. Like you've probably heard....."Life is not about getting the best hand, it's about playing the cards we get dealt to the best of our ability."
