Something's-Ah Brewing

I was pretty quiet last week due to deep thought...and drinking. Moreso deep thought. I've been strongly and seriously considering moving to Vegas, and I have a lot of research to do if I'm going to continue to put any kind of commitment to the idea.

My lease ends in September, and with any bullocks so should my current job. The paycheck is nice to have on a regular basis, but obviously it's just not enough and just not worth my time.

My thoughts are that either I'll just head out for a year or two and give it a shot so I can stop thinking about "what would be" every day of my life, or I might actually get a job that'll land me in management before long and maybe stay for a while. Either way I'm going to be looking to get into UNLV with a transfer for when I'm done with the City of Dreams.

I'm really, really bored with life right now...so...this is a strong possibility.

OMG OMG OMG I Won the Lottery

IMPORTANT NOTE: the date.

On a serious note, I did buy a guitar yesterday. When I think about it it seems that my biggest urges to gamble come to me when I'm at my lowest points of boredom. Considering I have YET to get back into school for night classes I find myself ultimately useless and braindead for the most part of my days, both at work and at home. I figure if I have so much free time why not try to do something I've always wanted to do?

This was, of course, another impulse buy. I probably spent about an hour thinking about it, and then instantly jammed out to get it. Oddly enough when I compare my decision to gamble to my decision to buy this guitar it seems that there's more merit in buying a guitar than there could ever be gambling.

I started cheap and opted for an Epiphone Les Paul. While I've been told to start learning on an acoustic, living in an older apartment with paper-thin walls doesn't seem like the best place to learn to play an instrument. The guitar sounds fine, and I'll no doubt begin an addiction to guitars as I have with everything else that interests me in the least.

So now here I am, a guitar, an amp, and a pair of headphones, ready to rock the pants off the world. I can only hope I'll put as much time and effort into learning this as I had put into learning poker back when I started. On second thought, that didn't work out too well, so I'm gonna hope for a little more effort with this thing...
