nickel, dime. sigh. so an hour after my first departure from home i leave again to go get a coffee. i am doing my usual walk and scan and i think to myself what stoners last post said about looking down and admitedly i did a quick downward peek and seen nothing. as i defended myself to myself in my head sayin i spend far more time looking at peoples faces(i read foreheads) a glimmer down south caught my eye. nickel. as i did an all in one walk and scoop, on the way up another glimmer. dime. as per my post a couple posts back i fully acknowledge how fucking bizzare i am.
I have found hundreds of dollars, in laundry, laundry floor, basement, and driveway. All from my dumb ass brother. Would hate to think how many thousands he lost elsewhere. Even though he is a-hole, and rarely talk to him, left every penny for him.
I win contest, find money, phones and Crack, have found bags or vials (or bags) of coke and Crack several times. I recently won a free month off rent by filling out a survey for my apartment buildings management company and they even too my recommendation to repaint the lines in the parking lot and post number signs because it was too hard to see the number painted on the stop blocks.
It's partly putting yourself in a position to win, but some of its luck. I always leave the casino richer, I bet I'd win a 50 million lotto max if I played.
My personal luck is insane I've survived a few things that would have killed others either smaller or less prepared people. I've also had several close calls almost killed by a rolling piece of concrete pipe lats year jumped out of the way and narrowly escaped a horrible crushing death. Was almost shot in the head with a framing nail misfire out of a framing nailer. Yuy was fucking around, missed the stud and the nail fired out hit the wall beside my head. Needless to say I fired him on the spot but I'm amazingly lucky. Could have broke my back a few months ago chainsaw accident I fell backwards could have broken my back or really got cut bad with the saw but I tossed it backward (experience over luck there partly instinct) possibly saved my life.
Personal luck is just that luck. mine is about a 8 or 9 on the 10 scale I'm amazingly lucky. Any more luck someone tried to shoot me the bullets would divert mid flight and hit them I grew up poor to now where I don't worry about much
ok that is definitely irish genetics at work but i am very not irish. luck is a principle i cant practically use. everything is odds. i believe in "odds in favor" but luck? i believe in good fortune which is similar to karma but luck as in i went to bingo and won the jackpot, im lucky? nah. some one has to win. just like the money i find, someone had to drop and someone has to(or is quite likely to) pick it up. how do they not notice and how am i the first one to recognize it and aquire the wealth that it is. i wonder how many people see money and say...im going to leave that there. the owner may return for it. or. hey look money. since i just got lucky at the casino and i am not poor, i will leave it there for someone who needs it more than i?
