5/21/2009 - Mysterious Shape

I was driving north in Rio Rancho today when I noticed that there was an oddly geometric shaped cloud peering over the Manzano mountains. It was like a backward seven or maybe the top of an upside down trapezoid. I looked to the left and saw the exact same shaped could on Sandia too. I thought to myself, "that is weird?"

I drove for a little while longer and looked west on the mesa and saw a third geometric cloud in the same shape on the other side of the valley. I cannot deny that this was too coincidental so I kept my eye out for any other strange goings on.

Traveling on 550 through Bernalillo, I noticed the exact same shape created by the angle of the walking bridge over the railroad tracks to the railrunner station. I immediately diverted my car and drove over to the bridge. I could not find anything odd on the bridge, but once I turned around I saw a single rock at my feel which also resembled the shape. I took it!

I seemed to see it everywhere, but was not able to determine what it meant.

5/17/2009 - BumbleBee

I was back in the Bay area visiting with our friends from the previous CA adventure. I was showing my excitement by singing "I'm so excited...and I just can't hide it" to my friend because we were about to see Star Trek in imax. Not a few seconds later an add for the new Transformer's movie comes on. When Bumble Bee is told that they are going away to college, he plays "I'm so excited..."

Just a nice quick synchronicity for the day :)

5/11/2009 - Time Machine

I had an interesting day today.

It all started as I was reading to my son the Dr. Seuss book "I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today." I noted the number of tigers and how many were being subtracted:

30 - 1 = 29
29 - 7 = 22
22 - 9 = 13
13 - 5 = 8
8 - 5 = 3
3 - 2 = 1

Fibbonachi's sequence jumped out at me after 22 (30, 29, 22, 13, 8, 5, 3, 2, 1)

I thought it was interesting, but I did not think much of it other than to pay attention to any other odd happenings.

Later I was reading about this Giant Mystery Blob scientists found out in space which is the biggest object found to exist in the longest look back in time we have ever achieved (55,000 light-years across and 12.9 billion years old):

The next interesting thing was an old episode of X-men I was watching with my son about future mutants/heroes going back in time to "fix" time disturbances in order to release misery brought on the people of their perspective times.

This got me to thinking about the nature of time. Not only is the progression of time inescapable as it is scientific law, but it is also only a man made element of perception based on our local environment. Time as we know it would fail to exist without us perceiving it. Our perception would not stop the planet from rotating precisely at the speed it does and rotate around the sun in the way it does allowing for the myriad of life we know and love.

Anyhow, I was thinking about the xmen episode and how the small changes in the character's pasts using time machines completely messed up their futures when it dawned on me...we currently have the same power over time. What we as humanity do now is given as a legacy to future generations of humans. We can become the time machine to the past, or more importantly we have the power over the future. This in mind I am more convinced than ever that what I personally do to improve humanity can have a positive effect on the lives of others down the stream.

Kind of cool huh?

5/8/2009 - I'm Done

Funny syncronicity of the day happened during a Project Management class I have been taking this week:

I had just sent an email to my co-worker saying simply "I'm Done" as he was finishing up typing "I'm Done". Previously in this email sting I had type among other things "Sorry to beat a dead horse". Not 30 seconds later the teacher told the class "I'm done...sorry to beat a dead horse."

We will see what other strange happenings go on this weekend!

5/1/2009 - Witch Spot

My wife and I got a night out to go and see Wolverine. After the show I had a feeling that I should call Leo as we were going toward his neighborhood for drinks. I called and told him we were going downtown later and thought he may want to join us. He mentioned that he had been in the mountains for Beltane and he came back just to see his friend of his play downtown. I told him I hoped that we would hook up.

My wife and I finished our drinks and went down town. We went to her favorite Asian noodle bar and I texted Leo our location. He mentioned that he would be at a sushi place up the street. My wife and I finished dinner, walked to the car, and started the drive up to the sushi place so we could say hi.

By this time it was very late and the Friday night traffic started cruising through downtown. While crawling up the few blocks to the sushi place in the car, I realized without a shadow of a doubt that there would be a parking spot directly in front of the restaurant where Leo was. I thought this was silly because it was super busy and there is a large theatre and several restaurants there. I continued to drive up the street and when I came to the sushi restaurant, there was my "witch" spot directly where I needed it. I giggled to myself and drove on past, as we realized that our dogs had been in the house alone for several hours and we needed to go home.

In retrospect, I think I should have stopped to say hi, but regret is not in my vocabulary.
