When was the last time you did something for the first time???

I read on 9gag.com tonight something that made me think about life... The post stated:

Makes you think hey?

This made me think... Are my firsts over? I mean I've had my first kiss, I've lost my virginity (wasn't fun or any good for that matter), I've had my first boyfriend, I've gotten my first degree, I've jumped of a cliff and survived (gorge swing)... My heart was broken for the first time... etc.

So is there anything left in this world? Are all the exciting things over? At 24 years of age is there nothing exhilarating over in this world?

I received the answer tonight..

No.

I had a first tonight! After another irritating and annoying night at a job that I despise with all of my being, I went with a friend to our casino. When arriving their I was first frisked by a short and hilariously dressed security guard. I'm sorry, but how am I supposed to be intimidated by someone in  a red penguin suits with a top hot that went out of style somewhere in the same time that Abraham Lincoln was assassinated! That is like a challenge! "Please try and steal something cause trust me you wanna see me run in this!"

Anyway, absurd uniforms set aside, we went in and I was greeted by a gazillion brilliant bright lights and was overwhelmed by the sound of falling coins. There I stood in the middle of the casino floor surrounded by the sound of money! So I got myself a casino card, and played on a machine a game that I still don't understand and very quickly lost R 200-00...

Yip, my luck has not changed yet.

Even though I lost, I realized with a big ass smile on my face, that even though I had no idea what i was doing, I had a first again!! For the first time in my life, I actually sat at a machiney thing that goes 'ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding' and gambled! I lost R 200-00 yes but I lost R 200-00 of my own money... FOR THE FIRST TIME!

Make no mistake I have no intention of going back and losing any more money. But it was riveting to do something for the first time again... and it gives me hope... there are many firsts still to come... They might be small and pass you by unnoticed, but they will still come.

Well... Should probably get to bed. But felt this was a post worth sharing.

So when was the last time you did something for the first time?
