Superstition experts - I need your help
Driving down the road today, a black cat crossed my path. That's supposed to bring me bad luck, right? But what if the cat was hit by a dump truck heading the other way and didn't make it to the other side alive?

Will I still have bad luck? Did God smote the cat to break the spell?

1. The bass line was actually played on a keyboard with a wawa pedal.
Isn't that cool? :)

3. Then that cat was named Lucky.
I'm serious. I work in a vet hospital. All pets named Lucky die horrible, ironic deaths.

4. don't look at it as superstition, instead try to see what the universe wan
wanted you to see.


the animal died. So now you have to think about death for the next while. And you must consider accidents. And the cat crossed from right to left, indicating time in reverse or past incident. And the dump truck, a resource hauler, carrying what? And moving again, toward your past?

what of your planned or present actions are impacted?

universe shows us shit all the time to instruct our dumb butts. mostly humans are too preoccupied thinking we are the big stinks and don't notice the messages. learn to look and then learn to see.

we all be swimmin' in the same sea together,
when something pops up into your view,
pay attention.

5. Dude, it was just an accident
A horrible one, but an accident nonetheless.
