Last night I did something I have not been doing a lot lately on Friday Nights. I went out. I haven't had much of a social life this summer except the occasional game of basketball or the occasional movie, so I was actually kind of excited about it.
Me and my friends decided to go to the casino. I really don't like gambling that much but I usually have a good time. I'm not against gambling for any moral reasons other than I think it's stupid and your only going to end up losing money. That's why I never bet more than five or ten dollars at a time.
We went to first council first but did not stay there very long. We decided we would go to the Southwind Casino because they have video blackjack. I put five dollars into the blackjack machine, lost it quickly, and quit. My friend Ben put some money in and quit not long after. My friend Nick however kept pushing his luck. He was at one point down to six dollars and somehow kept winning. I begged him to leave once he got to a hundred dollars but he kept winning. He ended up winning $442!!!! I've never been so happy and pissed off at someone in my life.
The larger part of this story is about friends. I haven't seen a lot of old friends this summer and that makes me sad. One of the things I hate most in this world is losing close friends after I spend so much time with and make so many memories with them. Unfortunately , it seems I'm really good at doing this. Not including the aforementioned guys I went to the casino with, I only have two or three really close friends that I kept from high school. There are a lot of old friends from high school that I'm sure would help me out if I called them but not a lot that I hang out with regularly anymore. I don't even talk to any of the friends I had in middle school or elementary school anymore.
The worst part about going to Cowley was being able to meet new people for about two years and then have to go in a different direction than all of them. There are a lot of people I already miss from Cowley and it hasn't even been that long. I'm sure I'll never forget them. Since I'm not working for the summer I'll probably try to contact a few of them and maybe try to visit some of them.
