Lotto

I'm incredibly analytical, intelligent and logical.  Except when I'm not.  The emotions, or my "heart" (although, cognitively, I know that all of my thoughts come from electrical impulses in my brain and not out of my heart which merely pumps blood and also looks cool being ripped out of chests in horror movies) definitely creep up and smack the crap out of logic unexpectedly and more often than I'd wish.

What gets me is when all the logic in the world which I've carefully thought out, analyzed and put down on paper are thrown out the window in one instant that strikes my "heart".  One moment of - not weakness, for that beguiles the reality of human emotion - a thought that doesn't follow logic and follows something unseen, not entirely tangible and certainly confusing as *%&# throws out the obvious and sane.  Why would any rational being follow through on anything sure to end poorly from the beginning just for a small glimmer of hope?

But, then again, that's why we play the Lotto.
