Song of choice: Paradise by the Dashboard Light - Meat Loaf - Thanks Jess.. lol =P
Has anyone ever thought that there are no coinsidences? Has this thought ever come to you?
It's absolutely remarkable if you were to sit down and just think about this concept.
From little things like always noticing patterns on a digital clock (ie. 11:11, 12:34, etc), to things on a much larger scale, it truly is amazing.
For example, the year 1977 has been popping up ALL over the place in my life lately. I've always been a slight Elvis fan. Not one to go out and buy all (or any, for that matter) of his records.. nor am I one to go to any conventions, or even dream about buying a sequin jumpsuit. But just the mystery, shear power and heart that went into his singing, and the question "what would he be doing if he were still alive today?" keep me intregued with him. I'll go a period where I couldn't care less, then I'll go some time where I just love listening to his music, then back again.
In fact, knowing that, I'm sure many of you are thinking that's why I grew out my sideburns... lol, well the truth is that the chin hair that I'm also growing is there for the lone purpose of taking attention away from that, cuz it just isn't true. lol
ANYway, back to my point. I've been on an Elvis kick lately. Downloading anything I can on the guy. I even just downloaded his last concert today (June 21, 1977 - 6 weeks before his death). But there's the first instance of 1977.
Second instance - Starwars. I've also been on a massive Starwars kick lately. I think I've watched Episode 2 about 5 times this month alone (got the dvd). I love the series, and cant wait for the next one to come out. When was the first movie released? 1977.
Everyone knows of the upcoming Incredible Hulk movie. It's just one of the many movies that Hollywood is stealing from comic books in recent years. It started with XMen (well, if you want to go back far enough, it started with Superman and The Flash, but I'm talking about the recent splurge of comic material hitting the silver screen). Anyway, Hulk is going to prove itself to be just as big (if not bigger) than it's comic turned to big-screen counterparts. But there was already a Hulk movie made, did you know that? Oh yea, it stared Bill Bixby, and was released in... 1977.
Now I'm not saying that 1977 has some weird significance, or is the center point in the space-time continuum.. but it is weird.
tell me, do you often look at the clock and find that it's 11:11, or 12:34, or 12:12... or your birthday? ever see that one? (mine, Jan 3rd, being 1:03).. take a note of it when it happens.. you'll surprise yourself rather quickly.
Anyway, I'm sure all of you look at that and think that it truly is just a coinsidence, and that my theory of there not being any coinsidences is pure hogwash, but it's an interesting concept.
How about another?
My mother has been asking me to look up on the internet for dealers who might still sell some crystal wine glasses she has because she would like some more. I look, but find nothing, considering the only information she gave me was that the name of the crystal is "exquisite". Oh come on, in a place where keywords are your only real means of finding information, I'm supposed to type in "exquisite crystal", and hope that there aren't a million other crystal companies out there who call their crystal 'exquisite'?
I get a call from my mother's aunt 2 days ago. She asks me to have my mum call her back because she was wondering if she was looking to buy some crystal. It turns out that her church is having a sale, and there were 8 crystal wine glasses on sale. The same series as the ones my mum asked me to look for! lol.. it's crazy!!!
now, it turns out that although in the same series, they weren't the right models... but I still count this! hehe
In all actuality, I sat here tonite thinking that I should write a blog entry, and I figured that this was a pretty interesting topic and could write about it. I'm sure my examples seem silly, but it is something to think about.
Anyway, enough with that now. My one track mind is changing tracks. My day? lol.. well I got up at 2:30, sat around... downloaded a bunch of stuff... went out to dinner to Swiss Chalet (oh joy!!!), and came back here.
Oh, I do have one thing to report. Before going out to dinner, I got a call back from one of the places I left a resume at yesterday. I got offered a job to work at Collesium 10. It's not my top pick of places to want to work this summer, but it will do. I mean, they're pretty flexable with the hours, as well as the fact that it'd be money in my pocket that wouldn't normally be there. I'm not going to complain, even if I do have to ask about a million people a day if they would like "topping" on their popcorn. (Maybe they'll actually tell me what that "topping" consists of!!!..... maybe not.)
Indeed.. anyway, it works out well. I'm a complete movie buff, and working in a theater would be fantastic..... hopefully.
it's also pretty sound that I'm going to get offered a job at SegaCity too... now the pay there is only $7.50/hr, but again, better than the $0.00/hour I was gettin' paid to be my mom's lackie around the house.
Note to all who are looking for a job - the Collesium is hiring a whole wack of people... GO THERE!
and that has been my day today. Tomorrow is going to be another day of lounging about. I spent a lot of time today searching around for entertainment in the GTA this weekend, and came up with nothing... stupid Toronto... lol
Anyway all, I'm out for now.
Oh yea, my Song of Choice for today, Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meat Loaf, a song brought to my attention by Jessica a couple weeks ago, was written in 1977. hmmmmm....
