I cannot recall if I have ever blogged about this or not, but every once in a while, my brain seems to be more in tune with the world. I will have periods of time, where I would swear,that I can predict the future to some extents. A very strange series of coincidences will occur that used to freak me out really bad. These days, when I am in this phase, I try to maximize its potential, and benefit from it somehow. These odd windows usually only happen once, or sometimes twice in a year, and they usually only last for a week or two at the most.

So, I had a really bad sinus infection, and I was looking for some way to clear it without having to visit a doctor. Anyone who reads this blog already knows my opinions on that subject. Anyway, so I discovered the Neti pot, which is an ayurvedic nasal flushing system, that uses a warm water and saline solution to clear out your sinus passages thus getting rid of infection. So I go to Walmart and buy one. A few minutes later, I email my friend that I had just purchased a Neti pot. Turns out that at that exact moment that I was buying the pot, he, who was several states away at the time, just so happened to be telling someone he works with to buy a Neti pot. Of all the crazy shit on this planet.... a fucking Neti pot. Weird.

So the next day, or maybe two days later, I am with that same friend at the Michael Showalter / Michael Ian Black comedy show in Dallas at the House of Blues. As I was watching the show, I felt something odd going on in my nose. I thought, that for the very first time in my life, that my nose was bleeding. Turns out it wasn't. Thank God. Good times. Well, two days later, after my hockey game, as I was about to go to bed, my best gal came out of the bathroom saying that her nose was bleeding!! She had never had a nose bleed in her entire life! What? Wow. Ok, Weird.

Just prior to going to bed that night, we had done something that we have never done before in our 13 years as a unit. No you perv..., we stayed up really late at night, flipping through various infomercials. There are at least 25 different ones on late Saturday nights. We would flip through the DirecTV guide until we saw one, then we would guess what type of infomercial it was. Would it be an exercise machine, some sort of food machine, a make money at home scheme, etc.. Anyway, so we flipped to one and I instantly recognized a face. Carnie Wilson! I don't think my gal recognized her as instantly as I had, so I broke into the hit Wilson Phillips song "Hold On". Anyway, the very next morning, right after we got up, we were watching a movie or something, and that song was played. I had not heard that song in years, nor did I want to, now I had seen Carnie Wilson on an infomercial I normally would never watch, at a time I would normally never be awake. Weird.

A few weeks ago, I briefly skimmed through an article about a new show on AMC called "Breaking Bad", starring Bryan Cranston. It sounded interesting, so I decided to check it out. I watched the show last night. Turns out, the main character shares the same name as my deceased maternal grandfather. In the show, the character was a teacher, as was my grandfather. In the show, the character learns he is dying of lung cancer, my grandfather died from lung related illness. Weird.

Anyway, there have been a few more little things like that going on which let me know I am in phase with time and space and destiny for a week or two, so I look forward to cashing in somehow.

I will update when and if anything really awesome happens from this.
