Happy Halloween

Hey everybody, Happy Halloween! Boy, it sure has been an eerie week, for myself included. I guess I'll start with myself, and then I'll point out some more eerie occurrences.

Last Sunday, at around 1 in the morning, I went to the emergency room. I was throwing up blood, which has never happened before to me in my life. The doctors did a blood test, took an x-ray, put me on an IV, and all of that jazz. I was there for around four hours, and it was apparently a busy night for them. I heard that two ambulances collided, so that delayed things even further for me. Anyways, the doctors finally came back to me and told me that they thought it was the stomach flu. I don't know if I agree with them, but hey, I'm not a doctor. I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday, so we'll see how that goes. Also, I am having a hard time breathing right now. Sometimes, when I breathe in, it hurts, so that can't be good. Other than that, I'm fine. Like I said, I'll be seeing the doctor on Tuesday, so I should be able to manage until then.

I would just like to say congratulations to the Boston Red Soxes. The Curse of the Bambino has finally ended, which means that there are some eerie things going on this week....

I would like to point out a quote that I read recently in a USA Today article. This is regarding the presidential elections:

Kerry recalled a man who phoned a radio show about a year ago "when things weren't going so well" for the campaign. "Thinking they were just cutting me right to the quick, they said, 'John Kerry won't be president until the Red Sox win the World Series.' " Source

As I said, very strange things are going on. Check this out:

Since the Redskins became the Redskins in 1933, the result of the team's final home game before the presidential election has correctly predicted the White House winner. If the Redskins win, the incumbent party wins. If they lose, the incumbent party is ousted. Source

For those of you who don't know, the Redskins lost today, at home, to the Packers. This is very interesting stuff. If that wasn't enough, check this out:

Kid power! Democrat John Kerry is the winner, and the rest of the country should pay attention because the vote on Nickelodeon's Web site has correctly chosen the president of the United States in the past four elections. Source

Are all of these things possible harbingers? I really don't know, but I do know one thing. This election will probably be one of the most contested elections in the history of this country. No matter who wins, no one will have confidence in the results. This election could be worse than the 2000 election. I'm sure most of you already know this, but it is worth pointing out again. I have decided to vote for Kerry, but I would just like to say that I really hope that someone wins in an uncontested manner. I really don't think this country can take another election like 2000, and like I said, this one could be worse. Anyways, that is all I have for you tonight. Have a Happy Halloween!
