Counting up to 21…
This is unfair. We get the right to vote at the age of 18. We get the right to go out and live our own lives at the age of 18. In short, we have attain adulthood at that age. But when it comes to gambling, why does one have to be 21 yrs or older? I just don’t get the logic behind this! I don’t want to mention about alcohol and smoking as they are not even worth discussing.
Last week, we went to Atlantic City, famous for its casinos. It would have been a perfect trip, had it not been for the uneventful rainfall and me being too young to pull down the rod fixed to those dumb looking slot machines. What brains does one have to apply to insert a quarter or two and pull down that rod? The last time I went to a casino, it was in Reno, Nevada and I was in my 9th. I didn’t get a chance to test my luck then. Now, when I thought I did, I found out that 21 was the minimum age limit and was completely disappointed. A guard near those slot machines told me to go to an arcade center in a very sharp voice. She didn’t want me hanging around, not even watch my parents play! The arcade center sucked as usual. I lost complete interest in the whole trip. My parents sensed this and we left that stupid place ASAP. The whole day was ruined. 6hrs. wasted in journey itself.
The only good thing about the trip was the beautiful beach and the boardwalk along the casinos. It was raining and cold outside, so no bikinis on the beach. Bad luck all the way I guess!
18...19...20...Ahhh...finally ;)

now i get it! slogger wants to be 21 just to gamble aka marry! so whos the unlucky person you plan to wed? have you ditched daka? is the person male or female? (remember marateh sir's comment on marriage?) and not someone near your home, doubt that.
*rubs virtual beard*
just wondering, but lets say some bomb comes in front of you (eg in your trip) and your parents are around, what do you do? stare?

Now wait a minute Mr.Bidri! Where the heck did I mention about gamble aka marry? Let me get 1 thing through the mockingbrain of yours (Is this grammatically correct :P, whatever...as long as Mr.Bidri gets my point):
I'm a straight guy...
Well...if such a situation comes...I am sure it will...Oh yeah! I will stare at her! DUH!!!
And what would you do Mr.Bidri? Be your momma's good boy?? :))
*cocks eyebrows*
dammit, man, you are like ... so .. uncultured. had a similar incident. both parents and uncle-aunt around. had to try so hard not to stare. tried to whistle to myself and observe the rotting paint on the wall.
PS : i mean everyone involved was in a radius of ten feet. makes it impossible to get a good look without someone spotting my stare. not that i did or could! its really unnerving =((
oh yeah and decent blog by daka.

Just returned from a weekend trip to Niagara falls (which rocked by the way !)...
Such things require some skill...which you...according to your narration...LACK. Too bad...better luck next time :P
*shakes head at futile attempts to put some sense into sloggerika*
hey, dude, htBf can you stare at a babe when your parents are looking at you? or even any close relatives. "skill", huh? sheesh! just another excuse for your american-uncultured-thingy. no, man, i am not one of those ppl you find on the streets shouting anti-america slogans, but then i had to think of something, didnt i?
*explains*
