Got a few requests from home to keep this thing updated as I go along so I'm gonna try..... I already can't remember things that good, gotten absolutely hammered.
I know the shoe pics are status quo here but I'm a t-shirt guy. This trip's swag
I have never been a worrier, never experienced anxiety before. The last 3 months of the crypto market has been awful and I needed this trip bad. Haven't been good and drunk in 2 months. The recent crypto rally has me feeling better and ready to throw down. I got out of hand financially last trip, had my buddy that works at the bank take away access to an account or two so I can't get drunk, transfer money like last time. You da man bro ( he reads these) A few others were supposed to come but had to cancel, I'm not canceling nothing. I have been really blessed with a ton of friends out here and I almost prefer to go solo. Staying at Aria 3 nights, then PH a while. Plan is to calm down the black jack this trip (again) see Mike Tyson t- shirt above... alcohol is probably gonna punch that plan in the mouth, take a few teeth with it.
Always flattered by the love. Got hammered soon as I got there, kinda blackout drunk as usual. I wish I had taken more pics because I don't remember much at all. I know I didn't do well gambling at all. My alcohol tolerance is way down, lord have mercy I got drunk. Woke up in an Aria room around 6pm the next day. I didn't take my milk thistle the night before and was hurting. Didn't drink Friday night, met up with a friend at Javier's, been craving the guac since last trip. That place is the bomb.
The Derek Jeter golf tourney is this weekend. I have been here for this and when it was Michael Jordan doing it for about 5 years. Have several friends in it I look forward to seeing, always a good time but had to take it easy Friday night. I wasn't doing well gambling, down pretty bad.
A few female friends wanted to get together, do something like go to the pool on Saturday. Been friends with em a while, I was really flattered they wanted to make a point to all get together while I was in town. I will say that many down here make me feel welcome as an outhouse breeze. Thankful for all the great friends down here, to me thats my favorite aspect of Vegas, not all the "sin". Host at PH hooked up a cabana and a bottle. We were going through that first bottle quick and they were 250 a pop.
Now this is when I got real proud of myself for being crafty. I went down to the store close by, poured a bottle of vodka into a water bottle, put in the bottom of my bag. They searched it coming back in but not good. Ended up doing this twice. Sounds pretty stupid considering how much I'm blowing in black jack this trip, but I had so much fun doing it
The girls are really awesome and fun to hang out with. We all click really well, had a great time. Its Friday now when I'm writing this and I believe thats the most fun I've had so far.
I don't think they care If I post pics but got this dark one just in case.
I can't believe I'm writing this but since these things are kind of a life journal for me screw it.... I have never done an illegal drug other than maybe an unprescribed adderall in my life. Never smoked dope, never been high. I have had my arm twisted so many times to do it by so many friends, always refused. I had promised many I would if the Broncos won the s bowl in 16 but even backed out of that. I guess I was just so drunk and thought, oh, its legal here, screw it. I was told I hit it (some kind of pen device) 3 times, once pretty good and appeared to be high. I really don't know. Oh well, had a lot of fun regardless. We all got crazy drunk. One girl fell off the couch, hit her head. It was a bad thump. Thought we were about to have to call the ambulance, but she popped right up like a trooper. One of the girls had to leave
The others and I ventured off to Bellagio, I think one girl said she had never been so of course I had to give the tour of that place. Played a little b jack, did well.
Went to Lago for the first time, they have the fountain view outside but wouldnt let me sit outside because I was in a tank top (but probably cause I was too drunk) It was good though
Snuck outside for a sec, its beautiful out there
From pics in my phone looks like we went to Cosmo, Aria and I played some. I started the day with about 400 in my wallet, wound up with 3k
We went back to Aria and passed completely out. I woke after 1am. Saturday was a big night for the Jeter tourney with everyone hanging at the bar. I was looking forward to seeing many friends, some agents, celebrity friends. As I am walking in I see Derek Jeter on his way out an everything kinda died out after that.
I didn't take as many pics of b jack like I usually do, but I know I lost quite a bit at Aria later. Did hit this on video poker, I just hate those W2s. I know you can write off the pit losses, cancel em out but I still don't like the hassle
I am gonna finish this sooner than later, promise. I will say that unless something great happens in the next few days, this TR will be very subpar to the others I have written. I started taking depression and anxiety meds several months ago, quit em when I got here so I wouldn't mix with so much alcohol. I think it has had an effect on me now that they have worn off. I have not been myself, feel like I've lost my usual humor and there are times I have been kinda mean to friends. Already down about 10 pounds too from not eating as usual. I'm gonna try and turn it around though, update soon
