L is for Luck


Are you a lucky person? I am not, I might have the worst luck ever. I do know someone who is very lucky he of course as fate would have it is my brother. So first I will tell you a storey about my brothers amazing luck.


So we are playing a game that is totally luck. So it is war right and you have to be extremely lucky to win. So we are playing with jokers and aces are high and so on. So some how after the deal he manages to get both jokers, 3 aces and 2 kings. He had seven of the 10 higest cards. So there was pretty much no way I was going to win. So he managed to beat me in like 7 turns wich was crazy.


So now a storey about my own misfortune. So I am at a race a couple of weeks ago and in the first practice I am the fastest kid. I go out for the second practice and the chain comes off and then for the rest of the day I can't get up to speed. It was very unlucky. I am pretty sure that that wouldn't happen to my brother.


I think luck is totally fake and it is just a frame of mind. What do you think of luck? Do you think it is real?


Life Lesson: Luck is a frame of mind.

K is for kijiji


Everybody knows what e bay is right? The real question though, being Canadian, is do you know what kijiji is? For those of you who don't know it is the Canadian equivalent of e bay. So now is the time I would do re tell so here we go.




I have only personally used kijiji once and that was pretty much a disaster. So here is how it went. I was trying to sell some old movies that my mom wanted to get rid of. So I put the add on kijiji and I waited for someone to reply. After three weeks I was really wondering why nobody replied. Later I found out that I hadn't included any contact info so none could contact me. So there is me on one end of the kijiji smartness scale. Someone that I know is on the total other side of the spectrum. He is an absolute genius with kijiji. He makes will buy something cheap at a garage sale and sell it on kijiji and make money he can upload pictures and everything it is pretty cool.



So what do I think of kijiji? Well I think it is slightly hard to use and that it is confusing. It is also pretty much a copy from ebay.




Life Lesson: Don't make stuff complicated and don't copy other country's ideas.
