“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. “

Hebrews 11:1

I won a 10 gazillion dollars in the lottery today. Haha Look at the date.

Ominous looking day

What would you do if you won the lotto? Do you have a plan? Would you buy an island expensive cars, party till u puked?

Would you keep working? Would it change who you are? Would be a better person or would you just become another rich asshole?

Or would end up broke and alone as most do within a year?

I guess my mother is responsible for the questions. We grew up poor, she worked three jobs just to keep us in abject poverty. I had a deadbeat Sperm donor, I don’t call him Father because he wasn’t.  I watched her buying lottery tickets while I was growing up. She talked about how she was going to win big one day. She never did.

Doesn’t mean you can’t.  I think the lesson my mother taught me was to always have hope. Always no matter what happens in your life keep going. If nothing else it will piss off those that wish you harm.

I have survived because of her. Four major car accidents, major injuries, the loss of my family, My career, attacks from my own Government, bad doctors, psychotic nurses,  near starvation, and worse. I seem to always be on the brink of financial ruin. Yet I keep getting up and just do what needs doing. Sometimes that a lot sometimes it’s not.

So when I do buy a lottery ticket I think of my mom. Do I think I will ever win, probably not, but if I do I have a plan.

Oh come on. you know it had to be this song. Have a great day and never quit.
