or is it just luck?   by Bogdan Dragos

I don't think this is the
worst type but
it's certainly up there

the type that only contacts you
when they need something
from you

such as
to borrow money
or to sell you some
pyramid scheme shit

And it's funny to think that he
was by far the
richest guy in our group

at 23 he already had two apartments
One to live in
and one to rent out
and a pretty decent car

now all he's got is the car

He sleeps in it

and calls from time to time
and asks
"Hey, you ain't got no
girlfriend, right?"

It's not a way for him to flex
or anything

it's just his way of asking
whether or not you'd like to
spend some time
with his girlfriend

for a little
sum
of course

Yes, it has come to this

It's probably the destiny of
all hardcore
gamblers

have wealth
gamble
win or lose
gamble again until
you eventually lose
borrow money
lose the money
borrow again
win some
but lose some more
and so on

until you end up
asking random people if they'd
like to sleep with your
girlfriend for some money

But I guess the bigger mystery
here
is how in the
hell
is she okay with all that...

Seriously
do girls really have something
for gamblers
or is it just luck?
