seventy

superstition

black cats

walking under ladders

sweeping your feet

purse on the floor

breaking a mirror

find a penny right side up

lucky number 7

Friday the 13th

the list goes on and on.

are you superstitious?

i guess its that old Cuban mentality that our grandparents just drill all these things in our head trying to figure out a reason for why the world works and why things happen, but hey maybe there is no reason.. ever think of that.. maybe that black cat just had to get to the other side, and that mirror just broke because it was time for a new one or maybe your reflection was just too ugly.. ever think of that? Has anyone really suffered for 7 years if your mirror broke? Did you actually keep track of when it broke? Do you really think that just because you accidentally swept your feet with the broom, your not getting married? its just a mentality someone somewhere came up with to try and figure out things or to scare little children into not doing things...

...now coming to the point of this rambling...

my shoes broke last week, and my hairdryer broke this week,

does that mean I'm getting a 3rd one next week?

or was it because I've had those shoes too long and i might have possibly let the hairdryer fall to the floor a little too hard.

I'm betting it was just time for new shoes

and my clumsiness might have gotten to the hair dryer...

or should i be watching out for something to break next week?

I'll keep you posted...
