I just stopped at my neighborhood bodega to grab a few beers, and right as I walked in, the guy in the back said to another guy, "You eat meat on lent? I don't eat meat, but I eat cigarettes and pussy" (I walked in mid-conversation; this wasn't at all directed at me.) Nevermind the fact that you don't eat cigarettes - that's funny.
Today is Friday the 13th, the second Friday the 13th in a row, and the second of three in 2009. Three Friday the 13ths in one year only happens once every 11 years. Personally, that means 2009 is supposed to be a very lucky year for me, and today one of the luckiest days. The third will occur in November, the 11th month, so that will pretttty much be one of the luckiest days ever. If you're superstitious. I am. 11 is (if you couldn't te11) totally my number. Nobody understand this better than Julia; for some reason the number 11 brings us good luck and has been the number behind a lot of awesome things. Maybe it's a Hurley thing, or the opposite of one. I do think things happen sometimes that seem like fate, but if you believe something enough, you create your own luck. I believe in fate, but I also believe that we control our own destinies. Maybe that's a contradiction, I guess I'm just somewhere in the middle.
I have felt pretty great all day. I woke up and listened to Phish in the shower (an old tape mix someone made for me about 11 years ago - last night I pulled out my cassette collection) which got my day off to a nice start. I had a bacon cheeseburger from Lucky's for lunch. Now that March is (Ican'tbelieveit) almost halfway over, June is getting close. Which means I'm going to see Phish soon, for the phirst time! I'm super stoked. Plus of course, last weekend they kicked off their tour with three shows in Hampton. I read a few articles and saw the set lists last week and, well, it got me back on a Phish kick for sure. The set lists are insane, and from what everyone is saying, they still have what it takes. All three shows are available for download on LivePhish.com (when I downloaded the first show yesterday, it was free, now it says it's not, I don't know what's up with that). I just put on the 3/6/09 show and it is rocking so far. The applause when Phish takes the stage for the first time in 4 years is out. of. control. Man, it sounds like so much fun, I can't wait to experience it!!
Of course, tonight is 2020 Soundsystem, so I don't want to get too ahead of myself. The show is at Le Poisson Rouge, which is French for "The Red Fish." I love fun Fridays! I feel like tonight is gonna be awesome. I love that feeling. I hope everyone is having a good, lucky day - not an unlucky one!
And on that note, you know you love this:
