Ask the lottery winner!

What elements in your life keep you balanced? - Muneca

Lots of things keep me balanced. Believe it or not though, video games are the main things that kind of keep me grounded. I like to play my XBOX 360 alot, especially Call of Duty 4 and GTAIV. Other than that, I kind of like yoga.

Balance is hard to maintain when you are thrown into a whirlwind of money. Lots of people expect alot of things from you that are just unrealistic. Great question Muneca!!

Are you religious? - asked by straw.

Yes, I am a Christian. Jesus loves you!

Are you single? - anonymous email

I will address this now. No I am not. I am married, and am about to have my very first baby! She will be here June 20th! We have big plans for her!!

Are you nervous about forming new friendships?  Asked by straw.

Of course I am apprehensive about meeting new people. People often associate great wealth with generosity. That is not always the case. Plus you can never be sure of someones true intentions. Its one of the worst things about having won the lottery, your common trust of the general public drops down to almost non-existant.

What kind of career did you leave behind? Asked by Straw.

I was a jack of all trades of sorts. I managed restaurants, I worked in outside sales, I even sold cars for a bit. I really wasn’t cut out for work, and I will always maintain that I was born to be rich. Kind of funny….

Alright guys, thanks for the questions, keep them coming!!!!

Yep, its true. The blog is closing down.  No one is reading anymore, thanks for the good times!

Special thanks to Ronnie the only guy who donated to the spruce pooch. I matched his $10 donation and sent a whopping $20 their way!!!

Earth Day and your body.

April 21st 2008 by D in I won the lottery 0

Earth Day. All the hippies love it. Myself personally could care less. One thing I never really bought into is that we are going to blow the earth up with hair spray and plastic bottles.

But, I can see Earth Day as more of a metaphor. You see, people have so little control over their bodies. Take the hippies for example. They just can’t keep their naughty parts clean. Or even there hair for that matter.

Also fatter people (myself included). We can’t control our weight so we are compelled to plant a tree to better our earth.

Well I have a unique suggestion for this Earth Day.

Hippies: Wash your hair, and genitals.

Fat People: Instead of planting a tree for Earth Day, try eating some leaves from one.

My unique perspective was inspired by some late night instant messages. An anonymous friend, advised that I should write an Earth Day post. I was half asleep, but I felt the urge.

I know this may seem like random blabbing, and its probably not going to be the “Earth Day official blog of the year” But I’m personally laughing at my maniacal ideas. Welp, I’m awake now, better go play some Call of Duty 4!

So Dr. Phil asked me to be on his show…..

April 16th 2008 by D in I won the lottery 29

I received the following email.

———————————————————————Hi “real lottery winner”

I work for the Dr. Phil Show and we are currently working on a show topic that I think you may be able to help us with. We are doing a show dealing with the stresses of money and family. We have booked family’s that have been torn apart by inheritance and wills. But I would love to have Dr. Phil talk to a person who has won the lottery and feels that it has forged a spilt between their family. From what I have read on your blog, I don’t see that you have had to deal with this but it looks like you have done some research on the topic and may recall an article or two. F you could please give me a call that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Gyllian Carter
