#10 Casino Tips
"Dim lights, soft music, a maze of passages that lead back to the pens, in this case, slots. There's no clocks or windows anywhere-no passage of time, low priced alcohol is poured down by an attractive young women. Oxygen is pumped into the place to make you stay awake. Constant symphony of bells and sirens to make it seem like someone is winning all the time.
But someone is always winning all the time. Our machines and our games are carefully designed to let every gambler have a taste of victory, just sugar to keep them pumping their money in machines and on the tables."

#4 Strange Phenomenon
Strange occurrences such as ghost, and luck all depends if you are a believer or not and sometimes your religion too. I mean we have all seen that flash of light or that strange movement that seems to be our imagination. Seeing is believing but sometimes people classify those as hallucinations. My religion allows me to believe in them and sometimes we witnessed events in our life that we just can't forget. Of course nonbelievers will explain this phenomenon as something scientific that was caused by either a light or the way we saw it or we just want to see it so badly that something triggers in our brain to actually project it to be true, but it's just a projection they claim. Palm reading and hypnotizing also falls into this category. If you had ever been to a fortune e teller like I have, I found that most of the things they said will occur over a long period of time and not quickly. Of course there is always a critic that believes that it was just a coincidence. I mean I am not trying to criticize anyone's belief but I don't know, somethings just can't be explained scientifically such as love.

#3 "Dreams"
I wonder if some dreams might be able to tell the future. I mean Abraham Lincoln dreamed that he saw his death coming before it had happened and some others can too, I mean only the ones that recorded it before they had passed. I mean it's not like they can record it after..... 0_0. Anyways, many people experience deja vu, sometimes seeing the events in a dream before actually experiencing it, including myself, I have dreamt of things and they turned out to be real which kinda freaked me out. Especially people who sleepwalk, it's like something in their minds is still awake even after they are asleep. Sleep is such a weird thing, it's like your body's way of saying that you need to charge your phone but in this case, your body.

Travyon Martin vs. George Zimmerman
A lot of people have been arguing about this case lately and there has been many protest about Zimmerman being found not guilty. To view this case fairly, you have to put any views of racism away. Many people my age has been angered over this case but what I think they don't understand is that they have to be rational. I don't know all the details of this case and no one thoroughly does except Zimmerman himself, so I cannot take any sides on this one but I can state my opinion. If you think about it rationally, if it is at night and we see a "black" person walking, I'm sure that none of us are going to be like, "I should go say hi", our first instinct is to walk away because we think that he could be dangerous. But I also think that if a kid is walking alone at night and feel that someone is following him, his first instinct is to defend himself. Again, I cannot take any sides for I do not know all the details but I think that none of us can judge, only offer our opinions. I offer my condolences to the parents of Martin but I also think that Zimmerman will never go out in public and feel the same way again, whether guilty or not. I hope that on future cases like this one, we can look at it with a clear eye and not use our history of racism to change the way we view the details.
