The Game of Chance

So i get home from work hang out, call some people, take care of a little house keeping that needs to be done and I decide to put in a movie, sense i have watched every thing i owe at least 3 time I decide to go rent something. I Chose 21 if you havnt seen it then I would stop reading and go watching it and come back and finish this blog later( i hate to be a buz kill). In this movie a young man about my age, vary smart, has the world at his door step. Any ways in the movie the the two things he doesnt have is the money and the second is well "The Battle of The Ages" .............The Girl. any ways so in the movie he takes his God given gift of numbers and uses it to make a crap load of cash, then one night he gets cocky, and looses it all, not only does he loose it all he gets taken down a peg or two by an old school Vegas Mod Boss. At the end of the movie after an masterful plan to set up the man that screwed him the first time he lost it all and why he got the crap beat out of him. He ends up looseing it all again. But ends up with the Girl.

I guess in this movie for me it was more that a good movie about Vegas, gambiling, beautiful females, and a lil action. No well it was those things but for me it was what something that I and we all go through every day of our lives its all about chance.

Wether i go this way to work and chance the traffic , or to i chance calling that one person and letting them know what is really going on or something simple as what am I going to have for lunch. There is a saying in another movie that goes "life isn't about the number of breathes you take, its about the moments that take your breath away" and that is one of the truest things ever said.

Every thing that I have been through, said, acted on, or been apart of has in some way changed me forever. weather its what I do of who I meet. It has changed me. and a lot of those time i have had my breath taken away. not all of them where in a good way but still.

Life is a Game of chance, we only get one time around, there are no true second chances. And i say true second chance bc well i have had a lot of close calls in my life. but there isn't enough paper in the world to share all of those stories, well maybe some day but not know.lol

So I what is see when i look at my life when i look at me as a man?

I see a man that has been through so much, with some many different people, that has more scars inside and out that he doesn't even know where to start counting, a man who has stopped looking and knows some day he will meet that one beautiful women that will forever take my breath away, a man who would do anything for any one to lighten a load or to get a smile to brighten there day, a man who lives not only for himself but for his family, his friends, and most of all his God. I see a man who takes chances because he knows that life is all about those moments and he doesn't want to chance loosing a single one.


Thats what I see, What about you?
