What Bullshit
So my last excited announcements about karma have done me no good. It was my birthday on sunday. Aren't you supposed to have an elevated mental state for your birthday? Aren't things supposed to go your way? I decided to take it easy and play a little poker online. This just pissed me off. Didn't matter what I had ... I was beat. I flop a joint straight ... someone else flops a higher joint straight. I flop a set, they go runner runner for a flush. I have an open ended straight flush draw, bottom pair wins. It was ridiculous that way the cards were spitting in my face.
I decided to head out and spin the slots for a bit ... I'd spin away $40 without making a single cent back. It was not fun at all. Today I had to go to a meeting I forgot I set up, afterwards I had a coffee, and decided another shot on the VLTs. There's a game where you hit the free spins, and 7's become wild ... in short, you usually get them at least once while you play (if you throw in like $100), and sometime you can hit big, but mostly you win something back, and you can play for a while. I spent $400 just trying to get them. I watched the people beside me hit jackpots, and free games a dozen times ... I couldn't hit anything. Got the free spins on my very last spin (I was out of money). You know what? I got 0. That's zero ... ZERO. Not a single credit back. What a kick in the teeth.
It became more of a mission to get them, than actually playing the slots. So now even more pissed off. I decided to get a slurpee on the way home at 7/11. I finished my coffee on the drive, and had the slurpee to sit down and program with. It is then when I taste my wonderful slurpee I was so looking forward to that it tastes like coconut. Yeah that's right ... my pepsi slurpee had obviously been just changed over an old flavour, and I had a disgusting coconut flavoured slurpee being poured down my drain now. ICK!
I could not even find any solace in dominoes online. I mean I don't expect to win every game I play at all, but I lost 9 games to the same player. It was so unreal. I have never played, or even seen dominoe games like this. It did not matter in the least what happened. Every move I was forced with only one dominoe to play, and she always had the best possible counter. I get forced into making five, and she could always make 10 or 15. She starts a game, scores 10 every time, I lead out with 0, and she takes 10 off me. It was so bad, she asked if I was letting her win because she was a girl.
So here is a big fuck you with both middle fingers to karma. ¶ 1:23:00 AM
