Created another form of Gambling…..

“Some executives, in an effort to compensate for horrible experiences as children, find an exhilaration in the climb to power. As CEOs of billion-dollar corporations, they only feel alive when dealing with crisis or huge risk. Leveraged buyouts, takeovers and acquisitions become the “bets” of just another form of compulsive gambling. Hooked on the stress of extraordinary power and the risk of losing everything, they cannot leave their jobs. Deal making twenty hours a day, they can hardly sleep or be with their families. They play with traumatic possibility and cannot leave it alone. For recreation they love high-speed motorcycles, sky diving and other high risk diversions.”

Golden Monkeys and Peoples’ Monies

What is up with this dude? Why is it that after having a good night with drinks and friends, does he still feel the need to have more drinks until he almost cant speak and is walking (if thats what you want to call it) like a newborn. I feel so bad for him. maybe he did quit gambling and took up drinking? He’s really going to hate life tomorrow when he wakes up. I wonder if he will remember telling the host upstairs at the Gold Lounge that he wanted a cabana poolside for us and some friends. I dont know what the host saw as Kasey told him his name (Later found out Kasey ‘s last poker stats recorded by the Hotels was 7k per hand) but by the responsiveness of kasey’s request and then an offer to comp his room and other charges… I was now certain I needed to find out what I had gotten myself into???
