       There has been an ongoing theme with me for some time that I am 
       still trying to process and make sense of.  I think I have 
       developed some kind of obsession with 7 and 11.  I seem to 
       see it everywhere.  It shows up on the street.  I see a 7-ELEVEn 
       store.  I turn the corner, another 7-ELEVEn store.  I look at a 
       wall and it is tagged with 7 and 11.  I look at the clouds and I 
       see shapes of 7 and 11.  7 and 11 gouged into the toilet seat at a 
       public restroom.  7 and 11 scribbled in Sharpie on a coffee shop 
       table.  Buy 7, get 11 free.  My book opens to page 7, then flips to 
       11.  The steps to my car 7, then 11.  The final score of the game, 
       7 to 11.  I roll 7 and 11.  I have 2 chocolate chip cookies, one 
       with 7 chips, the other with 11 chips.  My total with tax is 
       $7.11US.  It follows me.
       
       Initially, the numbers seemed to exist without any real meaning to 
       me or anything.  Lately, it seems to be following me and sticks 
       around if I keep giving it attention, to the point where if I 
       ignore it, 7 and 11 will keep haunting me until I acknowledge its 
       existence.  If I lose focus, it will repeat.  7 and 11 is very 
       needy and requires constant attention.  It seems to do ok in the 
       periphery.   
       
       It has been revealed to me that having 7 and 11 on my person or 
       in view will manifest harmony and the constant acknowledgement will 
       not be necessary.  This revelation has influenced certain choices 
       and brought about the acquisitions of various artifacts that have a 
       representation of 7 and 11.  A hat with a 7 on it with a t-shirt 
       sporting the number 11.  A wristwatch with 7 and 11 on the face.  
       A bracelet with 7 beads and another with 11 beads.  VII and XI 
       scrawled on the back of my hand with a ballpoint pen.  
       Desktop wallpaper with the 7-ELEVEn logo.  Etc...    
       
       Gotta split; m0ar l8r.  
       
       73s...err...7-11s.
