Is anyone still dopey enough to think Friday the 13th is significant? I remember growing up and putting up with the stupid movie franchise of the same name. I might have even seen one at the local theater back home in my teens. I have never liked those slasher type movies, what was the point, other than the gratuitous nudity? Back before the internet, it was worth it for a 12-14 yr old to put up with all the machete slicing for the hopes of seeing some naked breastesses and the rare but even more exotic fully nude.
Nowadays, actresses don't even want to bother taking off their clothes, come on, who let that happen in Hollywood? You had one job, movie peeps, to keep the nudity going. But with the internet, who cares? If an actress won't take her top off, someone will catch them on vacation, or they'll steal their pictures from their cameras. Or we wait until they get desperate for attention and strip for Playboy.
This year, somebody posted "oh no, Halloween falls on Friday the 13th this year." For a second, I thought "great, people are gonna overreact, BUT Halloween is always on the 31st. I don't know what they were smoking or thinking.
Chubs says the students in class are having a hard time concentrating. I say no wonder, with stupid daylight savings time, now Friday the 13th, we get Spring Break next week, my folks were here a couple days because it was Spring Break in their part of the state. We got Easter in a few weeks. This year seems chock full of reasons to make regular days "special".
As you get through the week, remember, don't go under ladders, cross a black cat's path, step on a crack (you'll break your mama's back (just cause it rhymes?)), don't say something as your friend is saying it or you owe them a coke. Ooh, don't break a mirror (7 years bad luck), if you spill salt, spill more over your shoulder (just in case). If your baby is being a jerk, rub a room temperature egg on his forehead.... (forget it, you're probably not a witch or a jedi, not for you). FYI, if you are a witch, don't go swimming, you'll sink (but you already know this).
We assign fantastical powers to so much crap, how do we get out of bed in the morning? I also suppose these are the little things that can also make life more fun, but don't be a dope, people are going to laugh at you if you start oh I don't know saying "Bless You" when someone sneezes. You are saving their soul? Really? That's the best we could come up with?
