Apparently, I am a big gambler. And by big, I mean, like, seriously huge. I clearly have no respect for my finances, and choose to throw my money away to anyone with a deck of cards.
At least, that is the impression I get based on my recent comments. I have been invited no less than 70 times in the past 48 hours to go play some online blackjack! I had no idea I was so big in the world of the virtual casino. That, and it seems I am also in desperate need of caseloads of Viagra AND Cialis -- and I will not even tell you about my insatiable craving for Japanese porn. (I guess I need something to do when I get all that Viagra and Mike is at work.)
I just spent the better part of an hour deleting the ones that showed up today, and I did the same yesterday. I keep adding all of them to my banned IP address list -- does anyone know of a more efficient/effective way of dealing with these nasty little locusts? I wonder how useful this technique IS for them, anyway. Are there legions of people who say, "Well! If bob0y1025 says that Texas Holdem is gaining massive popularity, and he's saying it to this guy who runs this random website...well then! I have to go check out this hot new trend! I don't want another repeat of the I-missed-out-on-the-hula-hoop fiasco!"
Of course by talking about it, I have probably just thrown a big fat bloody lump of raw beef into the open sea.
Now that my little home on the web has had a little housecleaning, I am going to celebrate my first day at my new freelance job by buying myself a bottle of wine and sitting on the couch. I know it should not be terribly surprising at an instutution such as the one at which I regrettably find myself, but they have blocked access to my personal email account. Cell-phone text messaging and I are about to become VERY fast friends.
