Gambling. A fun pastime or a sin?
What is it with gambling? Placing bets, the anticipation that it may pay off. The exhilarating feeling that you get when it does. The disappointment when it doesn't. Either way, win or lose, there's that gravitational pull towards making the next bet...
There's like a hunger
That knocks on your door
You've had a taste of it
Still you want more
You've made your mistakes
Won't play it the same again
You have been warned
But still you plunge in
You play high stakes
But there's nothing to win
You've only one life
And so many things to learn
I'm not a big gambler. But I do like to make a bet every now and then. I enjoy a night down the pub playing a poker game, or a day at the races. And in fact, I have done both in the past few days. It's all been good fun. And although I may not be 'up' I have only lost a couple of pounds. Not a couple of hundred. So where's the harm in that? It's all just a bit of fun. :)
Now, seaside arcades. They're the dangerous ones. Not the casinos. The good old 2p machines. It's only 2p... £1 will buy you 50 goes... The fact it's only 2p is a bit of an issue. Keep spending all those 2ps...
It's something I do like doing though. So as long as things don't get out of control whats wrong with a little fun? Hehe. Michi, I see no reason why we can't be crawling along with our zimmer frames in Skeggy hitting those 2p machines. :P
So yea, let me see your pokerface and let the good times roll...
Much love,
Wow!! You said to me on msn that you hadn't wrote much more on your blogs since last time I read them, but I have just read them now, and you have wrote loads :D
ReplyDeleteYou sure are a busy blogger.
And yay, you mentioned me in your blog hehe. Thank you.
Yea, we sure will be raiding the little 2p machine prozes with our zimmer frames, or quite possible our mobilty scooters, with youngsters telling us to get out the way. Huh, rudeness of people eh!!
And yea there is no harm in gambling at all, as long as you don't go overboard (whatever that is suppose to mean) Good luck with your future poker games if you do decide to join a club in Newcastle Underlined/Keele hehe, boom boom.
