A friend of mine has always gone to see a psychic and actually her mom was the one who began taking her to get readings done from the time she was in her teens. I must admit, I never cared much to know what my future held, just always figured that when I got there I would find out. Well, recently I have been having a tough times of things having broke up with my boyfriend who I had been dating for several years, I was feeling a little bit disillusioned about life in general and really wanted to know what lie ahead for me, for perhaps the first time in my life.

My friend Kristie had asked me to come along with her for a psychic reading several times, but I had always just not seen the point, until recently With all the events in my life, I just needed to know that there was a bigger plan for me in the universe and that is why I decided I would give it a try, after all what did I really have to lose. I mean she even offered me a free psychic reading for the first time to try it out, so it didn’t cost me a dime. I figured either way I would see what she had to say.

It was funny because I guess that when I thought of a psychic I was really thinking of a gypsy like person with a crystal ball or something, but was a little relieved when I found out that she was just a regular person. It really put me at ease. I let Kristie go first and then it was my turn. She took me in the next room and when I sat down she told me some things about my past and then started in on the future. She didn’t use tarot cards or anything like that she just held my hand and closed her eyes and revealed to me what she saw in my future. She told me that there was someone at school who I had been secretly interested in and that there was the potential there for a relationship. Well, this was just a few weeks ago and for the most part, that part of the reading seems to be coming true. As for everything else, it remains to be seen, but I must say that overall I was very impressed with my first ever psychic reading.

Everyone dreams about winning the lottery at some point in their life (at least I know that I have once or twice). Some people even play every day. I just heard from a friend of mine about elottery syndicate which is apparently the new and improved way to play the lottery.
People turn on their radios and TV’s and open their newspapers to get the lottery results every day. We all think that our lives would be so much better and easier if we won the lottery, but is that really true? I remember one time watching the show Lost and Hurley, one of the main characters won the lottery and he thought after that he was cursed. Bad things kept happening to the people he loved and strangers wanted to be his friend. While I know that it was just a show and bad things probably won’t just start happening to people just because you won money, but it does change people (that much money at least).
You may find that people who weren’t your friend before start acting like it more because you have money. I also read this article one time for one of my psychology assignments that you only need a certain amount of money to be happy and anything over that amount is just extra. Like if you can afford to comfortable pay your bills and all of your needs are taken care of, all of the other stuff is just extra and doesn’t contribute to your happiness. Because as long as you don’t have to break your back working 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet and can take care of your family, the rest is just for pleasure. No matter how much money you have, people still get divorced and sick and have the same kinds of problems whether they are rich or poor.
So while I am sure that people will obviously still continue to buy lottery tickets and hope to win and imagine what they would do with their winnings (quick work, buy a home or car or even travel) you also have to realize how lucky you are now. You don’t need that money to be happy. With the economy the way it is right now, we just all need to be thankful for the money that we have now and our family and friends.

There are been some weird classes that I’ve heard about since I’ve been in college. I once took a sports ethics class which was once a month and really fun to be in. We basically did debates about views on sports. Another class I heard about was a Disney class. It was all about Disney characters and stories and I didn’t take it but my roommate did and she said they basically watched movies and looked for deeper meaning in them.
One of the weirdest classes though that I have ever heard about was one that my friend took that was called: betting odds.
The class was all about sports betting. It was actually in the math section when you went to go schedule classes and now counts as credit for an elective (we have to take a certain number of electives before we graduate). In the class they talked about sports odds in games like basketball and football and even things like card games.
While I think that this is a really weird class (you did have to be 21 to take it though), I think it is really cool that the school offered something liked his. They took something that many people enjoy and brought it into the classroom (for credit to graduate) and showed students how to both be better at it, as well as how to apply it in a math sense.
I’m not exactly sure what the teacher did to prepare to teach this course or how you are even qualified to teach it ha but it definitely sounds like a fun class to take. It is nice that there are classes that we can use to fill requirements that are fun, practical and help to lighten our load. If you are taking a class like this (among all of your other classes) you have a chance to sit back and enjoy a class that isn’t part of your required (and usually really hard) major work.
With all of the crazy classes offered right now for us as electives, I can’t wait to see what they will have in 30 years when our kids are in college. Instead of sitting in a classroom reading or hearing a teacher lecture, there will probably be classes on how to walk on the moon or something crazy like that!

I recently got into playing poker, blackjack and Texas hold ‘em. I don’t know why but I went to a casino last week and was hooked. Now before you lecture me on gambling I am responsible and let me tell you, the rush is unbelievable. But I know a lot of you guys do not live near a casino or anything but have no fear: there are online sites you can play at. Full tilt poker is somewhere you can play online and it’s obviously totally safe and wickedly fun. Now I recommend giving yourself limits of course as I do not want to be the cause of you to go bankrupt (insert funny laugh here). Most of the sites are designed to create the best online experience while poker experience. They chat with players of all experience and levels so you don’t need to be a pro or anything, it’s just something fun and exciting to do. They do try to make you a better poker player in the end though. It is extremely safe too obvious and they use really secure servers so if you were worried about that, don’t be ya’ll! Full Tilt was created by poker champs including Phil Ivey, Allen Cunningham, Gus Hansen and Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, so every poker fan knows Full Tilt because of them,plus the TV exposure of full tilt. They do also have 24/7 customer support which is an essential feature too for those unsure or who need their support. They also do offer sign-up bonuses so be sure to check those out before beginning or signing up. I know they had like a $600 start up bonus but don’t quote me on that guys and gals. Now, you do not need to play against people like Mr. Ivey or anything but if you really want to, you surely can. There are pros in there as well as amateurs like me in there. A lot of professional players use their real names and add avatars of themselves so you can see who you are playing against/with. They have a great variety of games as well which is a big perk. So if you’re at home and interested, be sure to cruise over to the Full Tilt Poker site and have at it. Maybe you could play a few rounds with friends first,going in blind is not recommended though,well you can, but don’t.

When I was checking my email the other day I saw an ad on the side of my screen about online bingo. I had no idea really that people were playing internet bingo like as much as they were. A few weeks ago I taught my grandma and her friends how to set up their email accounts and talk to each other and play games like bingo online, but I had no idea that so many people were doing it (even people my age).
Apparently though games like poker and free bingo online are seriously in right now. You don’t have to be old to play bingo anymore, you just have to be able to use a computer and honestly, after I learned how to get on and play online bingo, I really couldn’t stop. These games on the internet are seriously addicting and no matter what it is solitaire, video games or even boring old bingo, you want to keep going and going.
I do though think that it is smart to advertise these online games on the side of things like email or banking, because I check my email so many times a day and I see these ads over and over again and even though I didn’t click on one until today, I eventually did and now they have me hooked. I have online bingo and other card games on my bookmarked tool bar because I play them in between homework assignments or even in class when it gets boring (ha I know it seems like I joke that I play bingo when I am bored) but it seriously is fun.
I guess I do though think it is kind of sad that I clicked on a random online ad it makes me feel like one of those people who sees a commercial for fast food and then orders right then and there or goes out to get it right away. I’m not usually like that, but when I am constantly bombarded with these ads, it is hard not to give in once and a while and I am certainly glad that it was for the bingo ad and the online games, because seriously, in all honestly playing them has made my day much more fun instead of super boring while I am sitting through class all day listening to boring lectures.

A friend of mine has recently introduced me to a fun past time of gambling online. I guess I have not done much gambling in my lifetime, and now I have discovered this whole new world through the internet that allows you to gamble right from your own home. You just get onto an online casino, and there are lots of them out there, and it is like entering a casino at Atlantic City or Vegas. You can play all the games and bet, just as if you were there.

When I started, I just bet a little bit, but then I made some money and I really started to think that I had a system down and so I began to bet more and more. I made some really good money, but then I decided that I should really put some of that money in the bank, after all, I didn’t really want to risk everything if I were to lose. I have suffered a few loses, but overall, I seem to have come across something that I am really good at, and I am making a nice buck doing it. My girlfriend is starting to give me the evil eye, because she says that I am spending too much time gambling on my computer, and that I am not paying her enough attention. She even went so far as to say I am addicted, but I really don’t think I am, I mean I think that she is really just trying to get a reaction from me. Well, a few days ago, I came home and she wasn’t home and then I saw that she had cut my computer wires. I couldn’t believe that she would do that and then I found a note telling me that she went to stay with a friend of hers because she can’t take it anymore, and she said that she decided to take out the other woman before she left. Well, I have changed the locks and gotten new wires for the computer. She won’t be coming back, I can promise you that. You would think that she would appreciate all the money I am making, but I guess she thinks that the only thing that I should be focused on is her, and that is just over the top, don’t you think?
