Time to cash in

Today I followed the rules of the pen. I carried and used a pen all day today inscribed:

HOTEL EDGEWATER CASINO
2020 South Casino Dr.
Laughlin, NV 89029
1-800-67-RIVER
A Circus Circus Enterprise

I was the hotel manager for this particular hotel/casino today. Now tell me: did I pull it off? Do I look like I could be managing in Laughlin, taking advantage of all the people wanting to make a quick buck? Many people did not like today's outfit. I personally think it is because they thought I was lazy and did not want to dress up like I normally do. Here, lean close, I'll tell you a secret. I have worn most of my clothes many many times, there will come a time when I will run out of ideas. This is how my Wednesday's dressing habits work (take notes). I wake up in the morning. I think to myself, "It's Wednesday, what should I wear?" Right then and there, I decide. Sometimes it is quite the struggle...like this morning. I saw my pen lying there, I read it, and bam, idea. Last year, I dressed up in a tie and white shirt most days. That was the collared shirt Wednesday. This year, I upped up the game, writing a story for most if not all my Wednesday outfits. It is a constant struggle (Just to fill you in, I'm listening to some awesome mood music right now from The Truman Show soundtrack: a struggling, fearsome quest into the unknown, inspired by the will of discovery). So there you have it, my philosophies and method of preparation for my much-loved Wednesdays. I bet many of you think I prepare and think about what I'm going to wear well before the day that begins with the letter W. No sir/ma'am. More often than not, I come up with the idea of the morning of. Fun stuff. Especially when I have ten minutes to get to school, that makes it even more fun.

In other news, I haven't heard from Hume yet. I don't have any idea when to expect them. So I guess I'll just wait. In other news, school is going so incredibly fast; we are on the last chapter of statistics and close in government. Time flies, whether you are having fun or not. In other news, senior events are rather mysterious. I don't know if I will attend some of them (Prom, Grad Night, etc). Advise me, dear readers. In other news, I'm still busy. In other news, old school Underoath (Acts of Depression) is pretty hardcore, maybe a little too hard for my tastes. In other news, I think I'm done with this post.

Actually never mind. I forgot that I was going to talk about my views of casinos. Casinos define the avarice of mankind. Check it out, the managers (who I was portraying) and brainiacs behind the whole operation rig the casinos to come out on top. This is common knowledge because what kind of person would maintain a business that loses money? However, the brainiacs know that people will not gamble if the odds are too high against them. They have mastered this concept. Now for the gamblers. What is the purpose of going to a casino? To get rich quick. We as humans want money, it's just part of life. If you found a stack of Benjamins lying in the middle of the forest while you were conquering the solo hike through the Sierra Nevadas (clearly nobody is around), would you pick it up? Of course. So, people go to the casinos to make money fast. However, how often does it happen? It may seem pretty often, since you always hear about the big winners. But do you know how many people go and lose? Exponentially more than the big winners, that's for sure. Anybody who is reading this and overall has come out on top at the casino, let me know. I'm interested. Casinos=brilliant business, exemplifying the pathetic plight of human beings.

Fun Fact: Did you know that there are no clocks or windows in casinos? They do this to make you lose sense of time. Whether 2 pm or 2 am, a casino will look exactly the same. They want to to focus on the game you are playing, gambling your hard earned cash away, without worrying about what time to get back or "it might be getting late." Heavy gamblers often don't have a clue whether it's dark or light outside, raining or sunny.
