HORSESHOE

Last night me, Tyler & Aaron decided to go to the casino around 12:30am. We rolled into the Horseshoe hoping to win big. Tyler and I didn't even plan on gambling, we just were bored and wanted all of that free soda. We loaded up a few cups o' sod and Aaron hit the roulet table. He instantly lost $15 so we thought we were already done after about 10 minutes. We walked around some more and he decided he wanted to play some blackjack. He wanted me to play so he gave me $10. After two hands of blackjack we were both out. It was a good enough time though, got us out of the house and into the land of freaks.

I can't believe the people you see at a casino in Council Bluffs at 12:30 on a Tuesday night. Tons of people were there and it blew my skull. People were spending hundreds, some probably thousands of dollars. Old and young alike. I thought it would be dead but every table was full and the slot machines were bumpin. The trash of America all attracted to one building...what does that say about us?

Afterwards we stopped at the donut stop for a few pastries before bed. We told the lady there that we had just went to the casino. She then started to tell us about her serious gambling problem. She informed us she couldn't even loan her boyfriends $5 and is too afraid to admit to him that she has a serious addiction to gambling. She just spent her entire paycheck over in Council Bluffs and she couldn't even buy things from Wal-Mart that she needs at home. I couldn't handle the conversation seriously so I just laughed the whole time she fed us all of this information. People are wild, I see it everyday. All you have to do is walk down Park Ave anytime, or go to the casino late at night...or even go to the donut stop.
