Obsessive Observations #1

So my mother is visiting me for a few days. I live in Philly and she's visiting me from Atlanta. But no, I'm not from Atlanta, I'm actually from Kansas City. But I did not move to Philly from Kansas City, I moved to Philly from California. Well how did I get to California? I got there moving from Seattle. But how did I get to Seattle? Oh I got there via Atlanta. And I got to Atlanta from Kansas City. Anyway, back to what I was saying...

So my mother is visiting me in Philly from Atlanta. It's my gift to her for mothers days. Because the only good mother's days gift I give are late mother's day gifts. She's been pretty pleasant so far. Yesterday we went to the casino where I dropped $400 bucks. That $400 bucks was my weekly Genesis mining payout, so I didn't care. But man, casinos no longer pretend that you have any chance of winning. Kind of crazy just how much they're cleaning up in that place.

Which lead me to one thing. If a casino really has to make money by making you lose. Then why would anyone continue to go to the casino? I mean really. You would think that after awhile people would get tired of losing money, and they would just not go to the casino. And the only people who would go are those with a legit gambling addiction, which I would feel is the extreme outlier of all people. I mean I guess they sustain people by giving them rewards and offering them free stuff, to incentivize them to gamble more. But after awhile the casino throwing you a bone or 2 after spending loads of money wouldn't add up. But hey, maybe people just go for the reason I went last night. I had no idea what to do, and I was bored.

Oh yeah, I have a girlfriend, she also loves the casino. And she has a mother who also loves the casino as well. Since me, my mother, and my girlfriend all have different taste in things. Well, the casino is the only thing we can agree on. Oh and my mother and girlfriend tried frog legs for the first time last night, at a really swanky steak house in the casino. Hugo's Chop House, for those who may be in Philly and want to check it out. Excellent steak by the way, and no I don't work for them. Dinner for 4 cost like $150 bucks, a bill which I foot. Mainly because I am a black man, and I felt a bit insulted when the waiter handed the bill to my girlfriend's mother.

The good things that came out of it was there was a band covering a lot of 70s songs. These guys were legit, horn section, good drum, percussions, you name it. The band really got down. My 60 year old mother really enjoyed it. It was a great break from losing money. But it lead to us not leaving until like 4 AM in the morning. In which I spent the last of my money on some crappy Crabmania slot game.

The night ended well with us talking to a tinfoil hat Uber driver on our way back home. But these days I love the tinfoil hate type. For some reason I'm more willing to believe in people who believe the absolute worst about our government. And not the types who constantly give the government the benefit of the doubt. Eh, but maybe that's just me, I always had a bit of a behavioral problem when I was in school. And great night.

I were to rate my night I'd give it a 6/10. Would have been a 5/10 if it weren't for my mother being there. But all and all pretty lame night.

Anyway if you want to contribute to my casino money, you can always sending a donation. Or help me with some hash. Don't worry I've already invested like $12k of my own money into genesis mining. At least when I waste money there, they at least pretend they'll give it back.

Song of the day

House music is a guilty pleasure for me. Not my main music, but great when I'm trying to sit still and concentrate. Enjoy.
