Late Nights

Spontaneously enough, last night I accompanied my friends Karina & Jeremiah to Atlantic City for one of Jay's friend's birthdays (talk about 6 degrees of separation). Typically it takes 3 hours to get to AC from where we are in Brooklyn. Because Jay's a beat, it took 2 hours. But we left at 10 last night. I've never seen AC at night. I'm mad that there are people who actually spend their nights at this casino. We stood and enjoyed a table of BlackJack for a good while (none of us were gambling, we have other money plans). It was a fantastic time until this lady did a stunning thing. The minimum bet on BlackJack is $25. When she ran out of chips, she calmly proceeded to pull out her wallet, and drop three crisp $100 bills onto the table, re-upping her chip stash. She threw people's paychecks onto the table like I would put down $1 for a bottle of water. Thats when we knew it was time to go. I dont even know how we got home this morning, but I definitely got to see the sun rise as i dozed off to sleep. And as an extra high 5 to me, considering that my iron issues leave me dead-ass tired for most of the functioning day, i got up after having slept for 4.5 hours, and went out into the world and made my way for another almost 6 hours. hoo-ray.

I really want to give a shout-out to one avid blog reader of mine. She's been reading forever and even takes the time to send me comments, ask questions & contribute. Thanks Laa. It's even more appreciated because you reached out despite us not being hella tight way back in the day. It means alot girl. I hope you find your writing niche; and i'm always around if u want an extra opinion ^_^
