You may get the impression from me that being a degenerate is all fun and games. And you'd be right. It is true that being a degenerate has countless advantages. For example, when expectations are very low, you almost never disappoint anyone. When something assinine happens to me no one is shocked. I rarely have to explain things away. I frequently get second, third and fourth tries with things because no one expected me to get it right at first.
But with great irresponsibility comes great embarassment at times. I don't always take things seriously. Like one time the bank asked if I would stop writing "dizzalahs" on the amount line. I ignored the request until a friend had one of my checks rejected.
Well last night was one of those times where I wish I took some things more seriously. I went straight from work to see some playoff basketball action. It's hard for me to watch sports without having money on it...I mean that's why they play the games. But I had forgot to log any bets before leaving work and my cell phone cant bring up my sportsbook page. So I call a friend who unfortunately was not at her house but her mothers house. I already had a drink or two so I asked her to put me on the phone with her mother who was at the computer. I gave her the sportsbook web address and my username, and then slowly spelled out my password: F-U-C-K-A-M-O-N-K-E-Y.
Not my best moment. But Nuggets plus 2.5 with a missed Mavericks free throw at the end to cover more than made up for any potential embarassment. I heart gambling.
