Got Luck?

so i was talking with my coworkers the other day...about luck and shit, you know?
like how you are either born with it or not, and how there is a stock of 'lucks'--- as in, you use too much all at once, you run out of it, and how you don't really get to choose when to use your luck, because that by itself is your luck.

yikes.

so anyway, it's bounenkai (end of the year drinking) season, and my stupid department is going to assign seats to everyone via lotto style. so yea, i guess we'll be pullin out numbers instead of sitting next to the person you want to have fun with. (what kind of shit is that?!)

then i told my coworker:
dude, i really suck at these raffle type, lotto type stuff. it's like i have no luck and i always end up getting the worst choice or losing.

my coworker:
yea but thats okay because you want to save your luck for other things, you know? like something better.

and then, i started thinking.
about the time i was in 1st grade.
and how my school had this holiday happening event. this one classroom was set up so that it was this huge musical chairs room. and each chair had a number behind it.

every time the music stopped, we'd rush to sit in one of the seats.
then, mrs. fukudome (the don of the classroom) would draw out a number, and call it.
we'd look at our seat number, and hey, if it was the same number, we won an orange.

AND.

i won like fucking 5 times in a row, and on my 6th win, it got so awkward, to win again, i changed seats secretly.


i think,
like i seriously think.

all my luck was used up on those 5 oranges i won when i was in 1st grade.



the end!


happy holidays!
