Synchronicity

School is almost a month away but I still cannot really believe it. I mean, I haven’t really enjoyed the hell of summer and I’m still complacently lying in the comfortable bed of boredom and laziness. Seriously. I really enjoy being spoiled by my parents and they don’t know how much I thank them for that. Lol.

But I’m feeling kinda rude because I cannot give my mom anything for mother’s day. Well I hope she’ll understand that it’s friggin summer and I don’t have money (unless she’s gonna give me some dough to buy her a gift or something…I think that’ll be nice. Hehe).

I watched The Number 23 starring Jim Carrey and a bunch of actors namely, I-Don’t-Know-Who, I-Don’t-Know-Who, and I-Don’t-Know-Who on HBO yesterday. The Suicide Blonde is kinda hot though. Anyway, It was definitely a kickass movie with a whole bunch of 23s in it. What the hell is about the number 23 (literally…not the movie) anyway?

I researched it yesterday, right away after watching the movie. And I found out that there really is an enigma on teh number 23. For some, they believe that 23 is a “death number”. Well, whatever.

Spooky, eh?

Yesterday, I suddenly got interested on synchronicity and coincidental stuff. I dunno. Maybe because of the movie and a lot of really spooky coincidences I read on the net yesterday. There were also these Lincoln-Kennedy coincidences that you wouldn’t believe that they’re true. Well here they are and oh, have a history teacher to explain this — if they can…

Looking at this image makes me feel really creeeepy.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln ’s secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy’s Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named ‘Ford.’
Kennedy was shot in a car called ‘ Lincoln ‘ made by ‘Ford.’

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here’s the kicker…

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe.

Seriously, I’m looking for synchronicities in my life — just like the number 23 on Walter Sparrow (Jim Carrey) on The Number 23 movie. Well whatever those maybe, they should make sure that they won’t get me insane and make me end up jumping off my bedroom window. I’m acrophobic.
