Life Changed in One Spin

 I am watching the Television Show Hustlers, Gamblers, and Crooks and just watched the man who sold all of his belongings and put it on one roulette spin. That. Is. Bonkers. The man named Ashely Revell who was 32 when he did this, put 135,000 on his spin. I was having the anxiety of just watching the documentary knowing that there was a chance that he doubles his money, or will literally have 0 in his account and has to sit there in Vegas, a place where you need money... with no money. Apparently he went to one casino to do this for TV and the casino thought that he was doing it, but knew some cheating method to win it automatically so they declined the day before. Yes, it sounds crazy that they thought he was able to cheat to win, but also.... you should be a crazy person to be risking your entire life savings on one spin at a casino. He finally found a new casino where he was able to do it, and they brought his whole family. Personally, I would not want my family to come, because if I won it I would be spending that money QUICKLY. And if I lost, the first person who would've patted me on the back knowing I lost all my money would have been getting an uppercut. So the man finally got his casino, put the money down, and bet on a color. In a scenario that he was in, he really just risked it all and should know what to expect or do if he lost, but if that ball stopped at a green 0... I would've freaked out with the odds like that happening. So when I was watching, I just kept saying to myself, "What is going to happen to this guy when he loses his money? What will the person say? What will the person do next?" and the world may never know because this lucky, lucky man won and DOUBLED his life winnings. I do not know what he is doing now, but I hope he is doing well and I hope he is still living on the edge. Personally, I don't think I could even bet half of my life's saving on one spin. I feel like I am a risky man in my life, but I am not that dangerous.

  We made it everyone! It is finally the best time of the year! The fall season! The crisp morning, the firepit evenings, the football season, the chili, ALL OF IT IS FINALLY HERE! I have been waiting for this since the "Holiday Season" ended and now all I can do is sit, smile, and enjoy the moments we have.  Here are the top 5 things about fall that everyone should be excited for... 5.) Weather The fall weather is better than anything else to experience. Crisp cool mornings and firepit evenings? What is better than that? Winter is always brutal with it being so cold shivering at any point when you are outside and summer do not even get me started... My AC is on full blast at home and in my car at all times, and when I go outside, it is like I am walking through lava. It is always a bad day to wear a t shirt with those sweat stains running down. But I do not have to worry about either those for the next couple of months. Hoodie in the morning on my walks, and hoodies as I sit...

Best Sequel Ideas for Disney Movies

  Adults will be running to the living room couch to be eating Dunkaroos and a Lunchable waiting for the new movie to come up. This cast is incredible to see and will get people of all ages to watch. Kind of curious if they will have EVERYONE from the previous ones to come, but either way, it's the nostalgia that the older people will need to see, and the younger kids can start from the first Camp Rock and watch them all the way to the newest one coming up. This is a win/win scenario for viewers, and I cannot wait to see how it goes. Now if they are doing this... will they be doing this for new movies? Here are a top 5 Disney movies that I would absolutely love for them to make a reboot to be put on in the future.                                                                    ...

Detroit Lions - Believe or Dont!

Image
This is my first blog about the Detroit Lions for the year. It stung very hard with the Detroit Lions losing to the Washington Commanders home in the first round of the playoffs. To be a Lions fan, I have never been more confident in a football team. We kept winning primetime games and coming back when we were losing later in the game... the Detroit Lions never get to do that. So right when the confidence was at the highest it possibly could, it went crumbling down and the Lions fell off the playoffs early that year. But you know what... this is a knew year, and after week 1, I heard many people saying they do not believe in them this year, and with that I say... Stay on the ship or do not think about coming back.  The season was amazing last year, I agree, they did everything besides win the Superbowl. New year, same energy... so we thought. Week 1 in Green Bay is a scary one to start. Especially when they have just received Micah Parsons as a pass rushing threat to add on for the...
