bottle 13 or back to back or how the ship sank before it set sail
June 7, 2009
even considering all the people who have little faith, we are some superstitious critters. even if we don’t want to be. it doesn’t have to be a feeling, a faith, or even getting duped. that we acknowledge it is almost as destructive as believing. the landmine is primed.
thirteen is a famous number. opinions however, vary.
in sikhism, thirteen is a very special number. april thirteenth is normally vaisakhi, the sikh new year. in italy it’s a lucky number. wilt the stilt chamberlain carried the number thirteen through a great deal of points and women.
it was interesting to piece the good luck end of the number to my thoughts this morning as i woke up. i had never thought of a chance that the number could be positive. apparently a lot of people feel the same way because it even has it’s own phobia (triskaidekaphoia). bad luck thirteen. friday the thirteenth. etc.
you know it. you may not believe in it, but you know it.
as a non believer and a person who doesnt think about luck much in any direction i will say this though. the lesson from the trainwreck that was bottle thirteen is that i had already doomed it before it even began. don’t ask me how in the fuck i did it, i personally feel like it was a collective mental effort.
we foolishly worried about the significance of a fucking number and it obliged. big time.
