CURSES!!! Spoiled again. And again.....

I have never much believed in curses. If you pressed me, I would probably say that I still don't. I have been wondering lately though, whether maybe....just maybe, I have been jinxed. Have ever heard the Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times" ? Well, The Times They Are A'Interesting. War. Stock market meltdown. The Sober House. It's a seriously F'd up world. Makes me long for the more pedestrian days of MUSIC on mtv and my pathetic three percent returns. (Seems there is always war) 

The thing is, I barely know any Chinese people. I'm pretty sure none of them would want to curse me either.  Come to think of it, that's a pretty messed up vexation. If you drop that bad boy on someone, it's most likely going to cause chaos for MANY people. It's hard to live "interesting" times on your own. It does lend itself to the possibility that I am merely caught up in some other poor souls curse. Damn. We are all trapped in it I suppose. Maybe that's how this whole crazy world works. It's said that everything is circular. What if, the truth is that some one was cursed, causing things to turn to crap? And then, when that person finally kicks the bucket everything mysteriously turns around.  I guess the moral of this here little ditty is to be careful who you wish damnation upon. Never underestimate the Butterfly effect. 


 Or, things ARE random. It's always possible that nothing we do really matters as much as we would like to believe. It's still bad form to curse people though! 
I do believe that things will get better. They always do. Hopefully I (and you) am not the cursed one that has to die to bring it all about though.

  1. I bet it was Kevin Bacon who "let the curse out of the bag", so to speak. That bastard!! Did I ever tell you that a friend of a friend of a friend's sister-in-law has a picture of him on her wall? Needless to say, we're pretty tight.

    Also, don't underestimate the power of other non-Chinese cultures to place a pox on you.
