I believe in the power of words

I've started entering contests. I originally got this idea to do so in Middle School, I thought it would be an alright career to just constantly enter contests.

More recently, I started with this one that arrived in my Natural Gas Utility Bill. @NWNatural #neverendinggrill

The idea is to try to bank on this good luck that frequently occurs during my days. To cash in on my tall, white male dominance in this World. I know that I enjoy many blessings in this life, namely my home life, good health, acceptable looks, my general intelligence and charm. I bring this up not to boast, but to be publicly grateful. Also, I'm aware of the tendency to hex oneself where luck is concerned, so allow me to grin and knock on wood here. Why not seek out and find contests and use my success, or lack thereof, as a barometer of how Karma is doing.

For example, I recently filled out an online review of my dentist office, and I won two tickets to the Blazers game on Sunday, October 9th with the Denver Nuggets. Alright, winning! Also, when Katherine and I needed a new bed, I found this Simmons® Beautyrest® contest and we both entered via text and online everyday for 6 weeks and ended up getting a mail-in-rebate of over $350. That's something!

So I will shamelessly be promoting brands that have contests through my social network. I'll be asking you to like my photos, and trying to get stuff started. Just a warning that I'm jumping into this market and I'm taking you all along for the ride.
