With Wide Eyes

Eh.. I know I'm five days late but I got to thinking today in class about "11/11/11" and how "lucky" that day..uh is? or something?

Who even said that that day was lucky?

My day was fine, everything seemed normal so I'm not complaining...but I aboslutely think it's HORSEHIT morbidly stupid for people to actually think that day is considered lucky.

Oh superstition and numerology themes... how you make people so gullible... It's only lucky if you make yourself feel lucky.
I find it..surprising how many people revolved their lives on that day. You know with like all these weddings, birthings, "New Age" ceremonies, etc. I didn't realize how much until the week after..
Anyway, without a doubt, numbers and days don't choose how your wedding/marriage is going to turn out. Having your babies via cesarean on PURPOSE on that day is a bit...odd. The only thing that's fortunately normal and is A-OK, is that your birthday happens to land on that day.

ANYWHO, I read over 46,000 couples got married that day... that's like probably.... I'm guestimating here.. like 8-12 times more than usual on any "regular" Friday...even though 11/11/11 was in fact a regular Friday. And like a few people in this world, I like statistics...and I bet you, there's gonna be a lot of divorce...later down the road, unless you live like Kim K and you jet out of the marriage after two months.

I read that an average of 50% percent of first marriages, 67% of second and 74% of third marriages end in divorce.

That's just in the US of A.

And my opinion about giving birth on that "lucky" day...if you had no choice and your water breaks and that baby's head is crowing, I congratulate you, for the new life you brought into this world AND that you weren't selfish to take that baby out on 11/11 just because you wanted to.
And if you did pull that baby out of your uterus, Congratulations to you too, with your newborn baby. I just think that baby would still be considered lucky if you decided to give birth on 11/10 or 11/12 or 11/20...

My point is...numbers and dates don't matter. They don't judge how fortunate people they are. They don't do anything but show what day it is, when your period is coming, what time it is, how much money you spent, how much gas you have in your take, how tall you are....and SO ON.

That's my opinion though.

Hm.. I probably offended some people. Truly, I'm sorry.
Though, congratulations to the many people that have begun a new life that day. Just don't eff it up.

And if shit fucks up, well then hey, then now you'll understand that numbers don't have powers to make things lucky.

Luck comes out of nowhere. That's how I see it.

ANYWAY! It's time to shake our heads and dance ridic. :)
