Blessing or Curse?
My wife found a lottery ticket yesterday. I thought it would be horribly ironic and not just a little cruel if it ended up having a winning combination. We've never bought lottery tickets; actually I've never bought a single ticket, scratch off or otherwise; though I have received them as gifts at Christmas from my Aunt.
I've been watching the appendices of my LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring Ultra Special Miraculous Extended Deluxe DVD set and I've been pleasantly surprised. They have been a pleasure to watch, almost as much fun as the movie itself. It's nice to see the character of the people involved and brings to the forefront a lot of amazing people and talents that you don't get to see if you just watch the movie. I love movies, but I don't typically pay much attention to the actors outside of the movie, so I rarely know their names...so it has been nice to see how cool these people are in FotR, they all seem genuine neat people, the kind of folks you wouldn't mind hanging out with having a pint.

I'll bet the poor smuck who lost that ticket would have never even remebered playing the numbers anyway. So really ,it wouldn't have been the least bit crule to have won, other than the fact that they marked "lump sum" rather than the longer period of time. I've wondered why anyone would ever want the lump sum, since the govermnent will take most of it (back) and then you'd probablly just end up blowing it before you knew it was gone. I'd rather ration it out, so I don't over spend myself, and if I ever need (scoff.. NEED) more i'll just put it on the credit card and pay it off when the next check comes in. But still, a lump sum could buy a house and start a buisness, which would be nice. So, it would have been compeltely harmless... Completetly harmless... to have won. Where is fate when you need her?oh yeah, and where are the dirty emotocons so I can send you messages? ;)
