I know, and that makes it even more scary because it can be mistaken for something less dangerous. :(

Kevin Costner refused to star in the movie Platoon because he believed it was insulting to American soldiers, since his own brother was a Vietnam veteran.

During the Veitnam War American soldiers would throw Ace of Spades death cards on the bodies of the Veitnamese soldiers they killed as a form of psychological warfare to the Veitnamese.

Today at a local village with a tidal river (Near the sea) I heard a lady say that they sometimes saw the wake of some large creature, and a few days ago at around 0600am the lady saw something gulp an adult duck straight down and then dissapear back into the water. This is in a little village (Actually classed as a small town due to historical importance due to its castle etc) in Wales, UK.

I am learning that I really don't have any talents that can help me to excel in today's world. It makes me believe I am worthless sometimes. I need to learn fast or risk being nothing for the rest of my life.

In Cartomancy people represented by the hearts symbolize love and romance and they feel the strongest of all emotions: joy, anger, sadness, fear, etc.

People represented by the diamonds symbolize wealth in life. Anything from money to treasures to food to knowledge to family and friends.

People represented by clubs are very hard workers. They have their minds set towards goals and will not stop until they have reached that goal, and then they set new goals to work towards.

People represented by the spades tend to be deep thinkers and great communicators. They have no time for silly fools and they often face many hard struggles in life which make them stronger.
