What do you mean

He just came here, I didn't want to talk but he did. He started talking and did it for about two hours. Then he said that he wanted to eat something. He asked me to join him and then he explained for another quarter an hour why he hates to eat alone. Since it seemed that it was really dramatic for him to eat alone, I went to eat something, although I was not really hungry and I wanted to do what I was doing just before he came into my office. We went to this café that is very close to my office. He was sad, he was depressed. The fact was that... I did not pay attention actually. I was thinking that he has this very funny way to speak about other people, like if there were only two kinds of people, one that are just great, amazing, perfect; and the other one, that are piece of shit. He doesn't allow himself to recognize any mistake in the first group, and he doesn't forgive anything of the second kind. I don't know why he gave me this impression, because actually I was not listening to what he was saying. He continue explaining me why he was sad. I smiled for time to time. He had taken pasta carbonara, I'd a soup. I had eaten my but he was not able to eat, because he had to explain me what was going on with him. I was worried, his pasta was almost complete and he had so many things to say. I was starting to feel incomfortable, I was thinking how to tell him to stop. What I did was to watch the watch, it is an easy sign to understand. He didn't notice it. He continued. I went to the toilette, to interrupt him. I came back, he continued talking. I decided to pay attention, no way, it was to late, he was to far in the story, there was no way that I could catch what he was meaning.
He finished, I say something like "well, life is hard". "Yeah, it is" he said. He ate his pasta and we left the place.
"Hey, thanks for listening to me, I really felt understood".

Video slots on the web has a fan club of there own, people just can’t get enough. Even when news slots are launched by the different software developers they get a standing ovation and are attacked with an intensity of a wolf mother protecting her cubs. It is like the New Years sale in Bond street where the entire population of crazy housewife’s fight over every garment and will draw blood if need be.

Lucky us the since the slots are online there is no such thing as a queue and you can play when you want. You don’t even have to get dressed.

Not that this has any relevance to who plays slots and who don’t. There is clearly according to the latest polls more women playing slots then men. Men seem to drift towards the poker and table games. But here is something us men have to watch out for, they are coming. And they are also coming in swarms.

And since we men can not do more then one thing at a time (at least that is what the women say) we are in trouble. Take Blackjack, they should be better at handling two and three hands then us. Texas Hold’em is up for grabs because of the pace and many factors in the game. So when you are playing against a women you might want to hold on to your chips (and maybe your hart as well) she could end up owning both of them. Women know we are simple beings, and do have this factor over us when playing face to face. All men are suckers to a nice smile, so in all fairness any poker game that has both men and women in it should be played online.

At least you will not be distracted by that nice perfume drifting in from the women next to you. It is so faint but a man has certain instincts and will try to get a good sniff. So leaning in (ever so careful) I still get booted from a game for trying to look at other peoples cards. And I had a straight lined up. Even the big smile I got from the women next to me did not really soften the blow of getting booted. At least the dealer understood me and just told me to take a break for a while. That is my 2 cents worth on the topic of women and gambling.

Signing off for now and heading towards the slots, someone told me there is a good chance of meeting women there. At least that is what they tell me on http://www.streetslots.com
