Cheered on by my early victory in the Safeway contest I've developed a little taste for contests. Another Safeway contest, another Lagostina Cookware set. Which I'm going to keep, as having won 2 Lagostina Cookware sets seems like a bit much of a coincidence. I was trying to win a hoover, or an electric toothbrush, or a trip to Vegas or a Diamond Tennis bracelet, but the cookware set it is.
There's another contest. Now this is a win or lose contest, but I have a theory, maybe a 20 or 30% chance of winning if I use this theory, VS a .0001% chance if I don't, so it's worth it, and besides there is some joy and redemption in proving a theory. And the contest, this contest I'm entering, the prize is worthwhile. Tickets to see Leonard Cohen. I'd like to see Leonard Cohen. More importantly, I'd like my child to see Leonard Cohen. But I'm looking for bigger contests. Free contests, as contests where you have to buy tickets aren't contests, they're lotteries. Contests where you stand to win a house or a car, as I could use a house or a car. Or groceries, even. I could use groceries. I'm a great winner, look good posing besides oversized novelty cheques, jump up and down and look excited and gush "I never thought it could happen to me..." when I win....
