If Flying Wasn't Enough to Scare You...

So one day when I was at the airport in Boston going home for break, I wanted to do what most people about to have a flight do -get some reading material. Little did I know what was to occur doing something so quick and effortless. I grab a magazine and go to the cash register to pay. Now, I could tell from a distance that this cashier was just a little out of the ordinary, but as I am always attracting such strange and interesting people, I thought nothing of it really. She scans the barcode, and the price rings up at $3.99. I hand over four dollars, and was like, "Keep the penny." (The importance of pennies is another issue I would like to address, but it would not fit into this story so anyways back to it.) I begin to walk away, but she stops me by starting a conversation. Now we all know that this is something we all -well mostly all want to avoid. So, since I am such a nice Southern gentleman, I turn around and listen. She was like "Have you ever wondered..." And at those very words I was like, "Shit. Why me, why do I get asked questions by strange people!" She continued, "Have you ever wondered about fate?" "Umm no, not really." As I looked at her, her face was narrow with close-to-her-head, black -but graying hair, and eyes that seem to be glazed over with white (kind of like Halle Berry as Storm in the X-Men movies). I thought I was talking to the oracle at Delphi. She then goes on, "This here, this very penny might have an important role in YOUR life." I was starting to get nervous. The woman then continues her scary speech about fate and the penny, "Have you ever had a dream where you are injured and bleeding, and you have nothing to stop the blood from flowing out -BUT you have this penny which you use to stop it?" "Nooo, I caaan't say that I have," I said with a questioning look upon my face. She obviously didn't think that was a good response, so she then asked, "Have you ever had a dream where you are on an airplane, and during the flight there is a hole in the window which would lead to the crash and death of hundreds of people; however, the hole is the perfect size of the penny, and you FIT it in just like so, and save everyone's lives?" I was lost for words. I mean, way to scare someone as they are just about to fly. I took that damn penny and have been scared to use it ever since!

An Introduction

So this is what it feels like to blog... Hmm I can't believe that I am actually doing this -writing about my life.

Anyways, the main reason for this blog is to share my stories with people because I sure do have a lot of them. I mean my life is full of interesting encounters, odd situations, and just plain bad luck. I am known as a magnet for eccentric people, and thus my stories are endless. I don't know why I bring out the "best" in people, but if it wasn't for them and their oddities then there would not be as much excitement in my life.

To those interesting characters, and my everlasting destiny to run into you, I thank you. Thank you for providing me with so many funny stories to share.

Enjoy!
