I found that whenever I need to think, the pier with the Ankh/7 memorial statue behind the BK on US1 is the best place to be. Its so relaxing. I dont think its so much the sounds of the area, as it is the feeling of constant pressure on your entire body from the breeze. I find that constant pressure increeeedibly soothing.

So today I wished on an 11:11. I used to do that all the time when I was younger, but then I grew up. Now I miss it. I think im gonna start it up again. Its not like im gonna see a shooting star anytime soon... Im thirsty....Brb

Upon going into the kitchen for a drink, I came back and googled 11:11 wish. I found a sortof rulebook that is pretty funny. After all I gotta make sure im doin it right. Heres a bit of it.

First, seeing 11:11 must be spontaneous. One cannot see 11:08 on the clock and then wait for 11:11 to appear. Seeing it on a digital clock seems to have more power than an analog. It works with either a.m. or p.m. but the latter seems to have a bit more strength. The wish must be made right away and can be either verbalized or simply a part of one's inner monologue. If the wish is made on a room in which multiple clocks are in view, one clock must be made the focus of your wish. What you wish for must not only be fairly specific but within the realm of 11:11 possibility. You cannot think "I wish for world peace" and expect it to happen. However, you might wish to receive a financial windfall within the next two months and then have it happen.

Of course, once you spontaneously look at your digital clock and see it is on 11:11 you must immediately look away while you are making your wish. If you look back at it, or any other clock, before it has turned to 11:12 then the wish is blown. Likewise, after looking away and making your wish you cannot count down the seconds. You must wait for what you determine to be a reasonable amount of time before looking back at the same clock to see the time has changed. Compound wishes tend to be a bit problematic. If you were to make a wish to "Meet a beautiful, smart, redhead who is from Michigan and has green eyes and plays the violin" you might get some or one of those things.

My pseudo research in this area continues. I could itemize all of the 11:11 wishes that have come true in the past two years. But in the same way that ill-matched pylon crystals on the 70's TV show "Land of the Lost" could have negative consequences if matched in the wrong combination, I fear that to reveal too much might skew the system. I'm already probably giving away too much. I'm sure I've already jinxed myself. But I'm not superstitious. I promise. Really.

Best Wishes-
