Insomniac Paraphrasing

Surely you would think I have learned to never write on little sleep by now after all this time in the game. Brain never stops working. A major mistake I have made is having any caffeine later into the evening even from a mild blend of tea. This is taking a mild form of speed. Logic sometimes completely escapes me on a few of the evenings that I work.

I was just about asleep at the helm of my office when a client sent a payment for some work I did this past weekend. It woke up my bank account and it woke me up for all of about 5 seconds. Caving in, I dragged myself away from the desk craving a duel with a Vegas Blackjack dealer. Settled for a battle with a computerized Android based application. Apparently I had ten thousand dollars left, but won on a stood hand of 12 while the dealer drew to 17. With twenty-thousand dollars of fake money, I could make a few fake car payments I suppose.

I seriously doubt I would ever drop that high amount of real money on a single hand of Blackjack….
