Where The Streets Have No Name
So, I drove down to Atlantic City last night. Its only about an hour and a half away and I have a fast car and a great stereo, so it was a really good opportunity to catch up on some listening.
Has anyone ever played Monopoly? Did you know that all the properties are based of of streets in Atlantic City? Yup. So, i drove around Atlantic City for a while (late at night under the casino lights) and found alot of the Monopoly streets. So as i'm driving around reading all of the famous monopolized street names, the radio starts playing the U2 song "Where the Streets Have No Name". I figured it was worth a blog. One of those very memorable moments. Only the second time i've ever been to Atlantic City. It has its charm. I am not much of a gambler, but i felt like trying my hand, so sunk a few rolls of quarters into the slots then hit the Blackjack table. Started with a $100 in chips, stacked em up to about $350 before i lost it all. Oh well, it was fun, i should have cashed out when i was up, but then i never gamble more than i'm willing to lose, and I'm not much of a gambler. Fortunately, i really dont have an addictive personality. Pretty sure i'll never find myself addicted to gambling, smoking, drugs, alcohol. Maybe i'm slightly addicted to making records, ok, really addicted to making records, but it still gets me very high, so i dont mind this addiction so much.
