I am certain that I believe in divine intervention, and the idea of having "knowledge of the future." No matter what I do in this life, I get that sort of "gut" feeling that has blessed me in the many years I have lived. I tell myself all the time that I don't believe in coincidences, and that events happen for a reason. I remember the times I would make solid choices on a chess board to beat my teachers, or predict the outcome of a hand in poker that seemed all too weird for me especially when I just started playing. People that know me would even say that I excel in any passionate video game l like. I use to play for money and I kid you not, I was able to predict what my opponent was going to do. All those tasks felt as simple as drinking water, because they felt so fun to do. I admit that I get "beginners luck" in all areas that I apply myself towards. I question why my brother and friends never really get my sort of luck when I hear that saying all the time. I think it's a gift that I can finish everyone's sentences and anticipate their thoughts. It makes me feel and believe that the people I talk to are a part of me...if that makes any sense, and doesn't make me sound crazy. Well, besides being able to read people like a book...I recently tested that "gut" feeling with gambling and it paid off big time tonight. I made a parlay bet for a favorite sport I like called mixed martial arts in an organization called UFC and won quite a bit of money. It absolutely felt great, because I had predicted the underdogs to win which many can argue is difficult to do. Also, a parlay bet makes it that you have to win every bet or the whole bet is lost. (Pretty much similar idea in the film Silver Linings Playbook.) Rather than focusing this sort of talent on greed, I think it is time to start the new year off to improve my acting, directing, and screenwriting abilities. God Bless!

It feels so refreshing hearing Lana Del Rey and Woodkid, who I believe are wonderful artists. I perhaps just have bad taste in music, or an appreciation for people with a so called "monotonous voice". If you haven't seen or heard of Woodkid's work, I would highly recommend it. He tells very interesting stories with the sounds he uses, and ambiguous black/white visuals. Thankfully, he is a close friend and collaborator with Lana Del Rey which makes me happy. I get goosebumps just thinking about this happening. Watching both of them live will definitely be on my bucket list of things to do before I pass. In a relevant note to myself and everyone that has a dream, don't give up! We all get tired and take it easy. (I take it as far as eating a whole bag of potato chips while I watch shows on a couch...) Remember to live, and don't forget to breathe from time to time.
