As most of you know (and probably don't care), I was supposed to head out to see the "King Of All Posters", Chi-Archie tonight. I was supposed to catch a train out of NY at 11:00 PM last night to get to Chicago this morning. Plans have changed albeit for a short period of time, but they have changed nonetheless.
As most of you know (and again most don't care) I haven't bartended since late December. Been making ALL my spending/living $$ off of gambling/taxes. My plan was to get to Vegas by mid January, but that had taken a detour waiting for my taxes to do. After doing those last week, I was all set to get outta dodge last night. Problem was that I had planned on taking a set amount with me, and my set amount I did not hit by yesterday. I have moved to states before with little cash, and always ended up fine, but this Vegas move is huge for me. I have been nervous from the start, as I think this is the last move I may make in my life. At 33, I REALLY want to do it the right way. As a gambler, I think you guys may appreciate the want and desire to make everything good all of the time. I know I do. I also have that grandiose thinking that all works itself out in the end without the due dilligence one might need to get the wheels of commerce moving. Gambling has been alright for me the last 2 months. The last week was AWFUL..lol. I did not get myself in a hole thank God, I just bet poorly.
To make a boring story short, I am taking a little more time to move to Vegas because I was offered a bartending gig in NY that will make me quick $$, and the ability to get out of here the right way. Why I didn't bartend the last 2 months is beyond me. I seriously thought with what I had saved before I lost my job, I would be able to gamble for a couple of months and make enough to leave comfortably. I was wrong (suprise suprise). I already called Chi-Archie to tell him I would not be in town tonight, and I write this to you guys because I really do like you guys on here. the last 2 months I have spent an inordinate amount of time in a room full of guys I have laughed with, cried with (when my dog died) and made plans to see (which as of today I screwed up on). I had a talk with one of my ex's about this last night and she agrees that I need to get more $$ together before I make this trek West. I also knwo that the opportunity to use a computer will not be as available as it hs been the last 2 months when I start working, and leave the homes I have been crashing at. Arch, I am sorry I am not in Chicago today. I suck.
The rest of you guys, thanks for being a great bunch of numbskulls..lol. You have made my last two months a lot easier to bear.
