Friday the 13th

It’s Friday the 13th. I’m not sure why but some people have this superstitious belief that this day is cursed. Well, I’m here with a story to prove you wrong.

You see, back in college, my buddy thought this day was unlucky. He was worried something bad would happen. Naturally, I stepped in to show him it was a normal day just like any other.


            “Watch.” I said. “I’ll ask someone out for lunch and nothing weird will happen.”

So I did. On Friday the 13th, we were set to have lunch at the Seasider, essentially a place to get fast food and ice-cream on campus. I was a fan of their grilled cheese, something you could get so cheap I felt like I was robbing the place each time I did.

Friday the 13th came around. It wasn’t till 11am that I got a text from her saying something came up and she wouldn’t be able to get lunch. I would later see on Facebook that the “something” was actually her getting lunch with another guy (She did get the grilled cheese I recommended so good on her for that).

 

            “How does that prove that the day isn’t bad luck?!” My friend asked.

Clearly, I needed to draw him a map. Look. 2 people went out on a date and nothing bad happened. Sure, it wasn’t me. She ditched me. But she at least texted me before hand and told me. That hardly ever happens. And, lets face it, when it comes to dates, most of mine don’t even happen. If anything, all this just proves that Friday the 13th is a normal day just like any other. I ask someone out. She said yes. The date never happened. That’s normal for me. I’m not sure if that convinced my friend but it should certainly convince all of you. Yeah, that date being cancelled was a bit of a bummer. But what could you expect from me? I was born on a Friday the 13th after all.

It’s the month of October. Which means it’s the season of scary stuff. Hauntings, Death and, worst of all, politics (if you screamed, that was probably your neighbor finally snapping from all the advertisements they’ve been getting informing them that a politician’s political opponent ate babies and didn’t even have the common courtesy of saying grace beforehand. The horror!). I’m going to focus on the first two topics talking about death and a possible haunting because I have an interesting* story to tell (*interesting by my standards which, in case you haven’t noticed, are quite low.). Something tragic happened in October and I deal with events like that the same way I deal with anything else in life, writing about it once or twice then going back to looking at memes and cute animal pictures because-AWW, who’s a good doggo. Heckin yes, you are! Sorry. Tragic time. A friend of mine, who I used to do youtube videos with, has taken their own life. I’m sure most of you are expressing...

  Me: So, back on September 20th, I weighed in at 165 when I got on the scale for a check up at the doctor. I bought a scale to keep track of it at home. This scale says I'm at 200. Either this scale is iffy or I gained 35 pounds in about two weeks. Cory : That can happen when you eat countless spoonfuls of peanut butter Voice inside my head:

  I asked her how her Halloween was and if she did anything fun. She replied: it was fun. Not sure what “it” she did that was fun but at least she had some.   If you’re asking “Why did you ask her how her Halloween was in December?” there’s a good answer to your question. I didn’t. I asked how her Halloween was in November, specifically November 1 st . It just took her a month to get back to me. 3 words took her 30 days to write. And I thought I was a lazy writer. “She sounds awful. What did you see in this person that made you swipe right on them?” Well, she said she loved to talk and would not shut up. So I figured she’d be fun to talk to. Yeah, that was it. “Was she cute?” I dunno, maybe? I did notice that she never smiled in any of her pics, and she only shared face shots so the fact that she thinks these are her best aspects really says a lot about the quality of people on these apps. “But you’re on those apps.” Yeah, I know. We’re all well aware of my many faults an...
