what a wonderful way to spend an evening.... gambling is wonderful!
I think I am about ready to take that next step towards becoming a professional blackjack player. Tonight I made a profit of $10.50. Now I know that might seem a little low for a first night, but keep in mind I was only there for an hour or 2 and I was only investing 35$ into the table. Now, that's a thirty percent profit. While ten bucks might now seem worthwhile, it would be foolish of me to say no if I was to use say, a hundred dollars in an evening to make 30$...
Of course I'm not silly.. I realize that I can't always make 30% profit... there might be nights where I only make say... 25% profit, but at the same time, today could have been my off night. Therefore, it is safe to say that the lowest profit nights I will see is 35%( tonight was a really bad night) and the high end possibilities are endless! So in the end, the average works out to about an average daily profit of 100%.
'But Michael, what about your dream of being a musician? won't this take away time from that lifestyle?"
Yes, indeed little Billy, it would - which is why I have decided not to spend all my time at the casino every evening; rather, I will make this a one-time profit maker. With the calculations I have done - based on an average of 100% profit, the addition of several luck-enhancers will raise the one-time profit to about 500%.
As it stands, the plan is to take out a small loan of about 10,000$ and to play blackjack. My foolproof math calculations have shown that I will end up with 60,000$ by the end of the evening. That should be quite enough to live off for a few years at least, especially if I continue trips to the casino every once in a while.
Let me know what you all think!
In other news, I'm quite excited about going back to school. I've had the chance to spend time with school friends over the last few days and it's good to start catchin up with people. Aside from STILL not knowing who my composition teacher will be officially, I feel prepared for school and I'm happy with the way the schedule is looking. My small ensemble is preslotted, so i don't have to worry about communicating with the other members in order to set up rehearsal times (it was a little troublesome last year with a quartet - everyone was in different years, and it was terrible trying to find a common time that we were available). The only things not in a spot on my schedule yet are composition and piano lessons. The best aspect of my schedule is that, so far, my earliest class is at 11:30 on one day a week... others it starts at 1:30! yippee! This doesn't mean that I will be a lazy bastard though, rather, I will be able to stay up til 2am on school nights without missing out on my 8 hours of sleep a night.
I neeeeeed to get some serious composing and practicing done STAT! I so didn't get the one composition even close to structurally complete. But, today I actually played part of one of the variaions on a real piano - so much more beautiful than hte midi I have been living with. It is definately one of those pieces that electronics will never be able to make up for the real accoustic sonorities of a well made grand piano!
And that is all I have to say about that. Tomorrow is the first day officially back to school! here I come!

have you ever noticed that Little Billy asks a lot of stupid questions?
Stupid children. Some people should just be sterilized!
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people. But we need stupid people sometime, to remind us of what we know. In this regards, I think that Billy is a very helpful little one. But yes, his parents really should have been sterilized.... for other reasons - excessive spread of syphalis being one of them
