    Friday the 13th

    SPOOKY kids.....

    LOL

    I was doing some "TIME vectoring" and I noticed that it was Friday the 13th today.



    Now I don't do holidaze and follow calendars and clocks much, so I get a bit lost in TIME.

    Just thought I would be the first to break wind, err I mean break ground on this occasion or holidaze of sorts...

    Please enlighten me in case I missed out on popular consensus of Friday the 13th.

    Is it a subject that is politically incorrect these daze?

    Just asking as I noticed that NO where I have been and NO one I know has brought up the subject.

    Curious minds want to know.

    When you Live in a TIME capsule you don't keep up with the popular fads and trends.

    I didn't know about the so called 9 11 thing until almost 2 weeks later.

    I find that mostly Living in the past has it's ups and downs, but it's mostly ups in my personal opinion.

    Not many are Living their childhood dreams.

    I remember when I was in kindergarten and the teacher asked the class what they wanted to be when they grew up.

    Some said doctor, policeman, nurse, mailman, solider, fireman and so on.

    When it came to my turn I said that I wanted a junk yard filled with police cars, fire trucks. post office trucks, military trucks and jeeps and so on.

    I wonder how many of those other kids are Living their childhood dreams...

    I was born to collect, salvage and scrap as it is a part of who I am and has always been.

    So about the Friday the 13th thing?

    any updates or ideas as to why it seems that it's not on the list of popular holidaze?

    I also noticed that April fools day seems to be a thing of the past also as I haven't noticed much on it over the last few years.

    Is society getting so busy that they are cutting out the popular things, concepts and trends of the past that bring uncomfortable thoughts or are not profit making enough?

    I follow NO holidays what so ever. I don't even pay much mind to my birth date as to me everyday is my birthday.

    Now wheres my presents, cake and ice cream?

    I've never considered myself superstitious so Friday was just another day for me and I don't recall hearing anyone talking about it.

    I believe you were correct when you talked about the fast paced life people live these days. There lives are passing them by and they don't even know it.

    They are to busy chasing their tails.

    Oh, and by the way, Happy Birthday!
