Back to Blackjack

Monday, July 25th, 2011

I’ve heard a lot of folks bandying about the phrase ‘Back to Black’ this week so I can only assume this is a sign that Blackjack is finally reaching the global popularity that I’ve always predicted. For years I’ve been telling anyone that will listen that there ain’t nothing better than the rush of a great Blackjack game and it looks like my message is falling on no-longer deaf ears (wish I could get me some of those, the volume on the laptop only goes up to 100).

Anyway in more exciting news I’ve been raking in the cash of late and it’s not from Blackjack for once. It is still from gambling, of course, but these days this smart ol’ alleycat is putting his money where the gifthorse’s mouth is. It all started when I read in one of the ball-and-chain’s magazines about a fine American stallion named Blackjack Bob. ‘If that’s not a sign,’ I says to myself, ‘I don’t know what is.’ So I put money on the black beauty and blow me down did it only go and win. Ever since then old Blackjacky’s been on a winning streak taking me along with him.

I find the horseracing game lacks the charm of the Blackjack table and a good player knows to quit while he’s ahead so I may throw in the towel soon but it’s good to know that, whatever the game, Blackjack ain’t never let me down.

“Poor yourself an old red river spoonful, Kojack, it’s time to play some blackjack games.” – Yvette Fielding

You know, the older I get, the more I seem to get behind and even in-live with the cosmos. Yeah, those lucky stars way up in the sky seem to talk a little clear into my third ear. I feel like I know when good tiems are heading my way, and also when the clouds are gathering for some kind of losing storm. And right now the weather report says ‘A-OK’.

Sometimes when things go your way you can’t help but wanna play a few more games of blackjack. After all, that’s the reason you’re feeling so good, blue. But what you’ve gotta be careful of is spitting too many times into the old Mississippi wind. Hey, ain’t nothing worse than a faceful of your own cocky gob…

What I’m saying to you blackjack players is not to get too confident when you play. Sure, you can have a good time with the cards for a little while, but don’t you forget that those cards will just as soon slap you on the face than pat your head and clal you pretty. Ain’t no doubt it’s plain to see…

This summer when I hit the card table – in both life and cards – I’ll be saying a little mantra to myself to keep me down on this old Earth. It’s real simple but it’s for me and me alone. I’d hate to share my secret with you, dear readers, but secrets are called secrets because they are secrets. And sometimes things real are that simple.

So slip on your old crocodile shoes and head to the river for a barney, because gosh darn it you’re going to need to listening to the flow of Old Father Water as the find your own little head-saying.

Hey, you should listen when your head talks to you. That’s what it’s there for…
