LUCKY

Is there such a thing as luck? Is there some abstract quality within each of us that provides us with better percentages in a game of chance? Is it simply a "mind over matter" situation or maybe a product of confidence?

Have you seen the movie Intacto? It's a Spanish film about whether luck exists. It's rather interesting - worth checking out.

I am a pretty lucky person. Always have been. I won a radio contest for a trip for two to NYC. I won an internet contest (one of those contests you would imagine was a scam where no one wins) netting me a 27 inch TV and a Sony Playstation. I almost always win at poker (even though others are more skilled) and forget about playing super bowl squares with me. But why? What is it that determines luck...if anything? I'm not one to much believe in coincidence (lets save that for another post) but is luck a random game?

Then I remember the phrase "lucky in life, unlucky in love" and lucky doesn't seem so lucky anymore! I suppose if the universe is in a true need for balance I'd take the other side. But the grass is always greener, right?...
