Still Got It

The past week has been fun. Definitely a change of pace from my life before this.

I think my cousin is suspicious that I may go back to my gambling ways. Of course, I have. But I've been pretty successful so far, so it's not like he really has anything to worry about. I've started out fairly small, as to not catch the eye of my cousin with the money that I have.

Before I did anything, I got myself a nice new purple suit, purple bow tie, black shirt. Got a shave and a haircut, and topped it all of with this neat purple fedora I found. The band on the fedora has playing card symbols on it, spades, hearts, clubs, diamonds. Whether you think it's a good look for me or not would be irrelevant. It's all about looking distinguished, so that when people see me at the casino, they know that I'm House, luckiest man alive.

This, of course, put a nice dent into the funds my cousin gave me, but that doesn't matter. Over the week, I won it all back, and then some. Walking into that casino for the first time in years was truly an experience. It felt like everything was rushing back into me. The luck, the style, the skill. I felt like a new man. How I missed the lights, the sound, the people. The casino scene is my home, and I was away from it for far too long.

The problem with the money that I'm making is the fact that I can't spend too much of it without my cousin getting mad at me for being wasteful, or questioning how I have so much money to spend. So at the very least, I have got to find a job. Hopefully one that pays decently, but with the amount of money I'm going to be making, I'm going to have to still be careful with my spending. Once I have enough, of course, I can get my own place and everything, and not have to worry about my cousin's opinion on my money making tactics. I don't know why my family frowns upon gambling. When you've got a gift, it's your right, and almost your responsibility, to use that gift. My gift is luck, so I'm not just going to waste that away on some boring office job, where the most that I can get lucky with is my boss not catching me goofing off on the internet.
