FOCUS: Based on this (which I cannot seem to figure out how to link it correctly, oh well just watch it): <a class="postlink" href="http://www.thisandthatvisuals.com/frane-selak.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.thisandthatvisuals.com/frane-selak.htm</a> which is just fucking unbelievable, what is the luckiest and/or unluckiest thing that has ever happened to you?
It shocks me that I'm in no way superstitious. Just off the top of my head: Lucky: On three separate occasions I have had large (enough to kill me, or at least knock me out) tree branches fall within 2 feet of me. Two fell in front of me, one fell behind me. Unlucky: First broken bone happened on a Friday 13th while I was rollerblading. Next Friday 13th to come around, I was being an idiot, fell down and broke my other wrist. Next time a Friday 13th came around, my mother half-joked/half-scolded me that I stay inside, which I dutifully did, because casts are bitches. Next day, went out of the house, broke my shoulder and almost my neck when I fell off a tractor. A few years pass, a lot of jokes are made, and I think I'm in the clear... Then one thursday, I get a massive concussion at work, right where my brain surgery happened, I'm in the hospital for two days and I don't remember the next week and a half. That thursday was the 12th. I'll update this when I have time to think more. Me and luck... I have a way of burring that stuff for I think my mental well-being.
Think of the coincidence however you will, but it's 100% true: On October 21 '01 I was the only surviving passenger in a one-car accident. The worst moment (and year) of my life. On October 21. '06 I was married. That was not intentional, my wife picked the date and when it came up I originally lied to her and told her the crash was a different date. On YUP, October 21 '08 our daughter was born. She was supposed to be born on January 19th of the following year, but she decided at two pounds to completely drive me up the wall. So every Oct 21 I don body armour, carry two axes, lock all doors and stay away from trees because more than likely will be struck by lightning on a clear day. Fun fact: I was also born on my own parent's wedding anniversary.
