Six Dollars Lost on Kitty Glitter


Howdy! I know it's been quite a while since I last updated this, and I am making it a personal goal to be better at updating this blog of mine.


I am sitting here in East Las Vegas Nevada for another Stay Real workshop. We have a small class, which is actually nice, there doesn't seem to be as much pressure, and with every passing workshop I feel more and more confident.


Work continues to be crazy, I feel like my head is now just above water rather then drowning in confusion, overwhelming anxiety and complimentary Cran-Apple juice in a 4 oz. palstic cup at 30,000 ft.


I can't complain though, I am back in Vegas, one of my favorite cities. I am straying farther away into the strip and venturing into the grimey smoke filled Vegas that I've come to adore and love. Tonight I my co-worker and I walked from our Holiday Inn to the Skyline Casino on Boulder Highway. We sat at the bar and played video poker while I waited for my Philly Cheesesteak sandwhich (hold the onions) and whiskey coke. I put in $5 and managed to hold out for 40 minutes before I do what I always do and get impatient and "max bet" all my money. I am always too embarrassed to cash in a ticket for $3.25. After a highclass dinner of day old roll, and beef that was only smoked by 2nd hand, I found a penny slot machine that was house cat themed called Kitty Glitter. I didn't realize that I was betting the max amount ($0.50) and quickly went through $6 before calling it a night.
