Bitch, Life is Serious!

So after a couple of days of contemplating. I have decided what I will write about on my blog. I think I am just going to tell some of the stupid random stories I have been a witness to over my life. if you are a friend of mine i have probably told you these same stories more than once in a drunken state. In fact I probably have told them to you more that once in the same night.

The first story that comes to mind is one that has stuck with me for quite some time. Well, the phrase in the story has stuck with me. When I was in my early 20's I spent most of my time in a local pool hall. I played a lot of pool and cards. when I look back I actually had a bad gambling problem. I use to get some thrill out of losing all my money. I am glad I can look back on that and think how stupid I was. Most people on that situation never look back. they stay in the same routine and lose everything in the process. Anyways, in this pool my roommate at the time and I were in the middle of a friendly game of pool. my roommate was a fun guy to be around. He knew how to laugh and joke about most things. Except money! When he was gambling for any amount of money it was no joking matter. He had a determined look on his face and took time on every shot like we were playing for $100 a game. We were actually playing for $.25 a game for fun. I was not taking the game so serious due to the fact it was only a quarter. He on the other hand in his competitive nature was serious. A regular pool hall flunky who hung around quite often was observing our match. She decides to ask my roommate "Why do you look so serious all the time?"His response "Bitch, life is serious." Everyone in the pool hall stopped and after a short silence started hysterically laughing. That phrase has stuck with me ever since. It actually makes me realize how unserious life really is. People take some things in life way too serious and I feel like it makes them not much fun to be around. My roommate was very fun to be around he was just highly competitive. Some things in life are serious don't get me wrong, but I can't help but laugh over how people can take things so seriously. For instance, when someone cries and throws something at the TV when there favorite American Idol gets voted off. Bitch, life is not that serious.
