I'm Magic

I find that strange coincidences happen to me fairly often—more often than the average person. I like to refer to it as a magical power. It's not. But I'm going to continue to call it magic, ok? So deal.

Recently they've been all about music. Three have happened within like 2 weeks. Let me elaborate.

1) I enjoy that new song by Gavin DeGraw "Not Over You" so I was singing it in my head all day a few weeks ago. One day it was PARTICULARLY stuck in my head—like to the point of it being annoying. On my way home from Aikido, I was again singing it in my head and decided once I got into my car to start singing it out loud. I started from the beginning of the song while turning the key to the ignition. When the radio kicked in, the song was playing in the EXACT same place I was currently singing—to the word! I don't think it was that odd that the song was playing on the radio in the first place because it's popular at the moment but the same word!? Magic.

2) This weekend, Jason and I went out with his brother and some friends for St. Patrick's Day and proceeded to get beer spilled all over us (to be expected). Jason was wearing a white shirt, however, and was sad to find when he got home that there were nasty beer stains all over it. So I asked him the next morning if he had any Shout because it's good to put on if you can't wash the shirt right away and he said no. So I starting singing that Tears for Fears song "Shout. Shout. Let it all ouuut." When was the last time you heard that song? If your answer wasn't "years ago," then clearly you are a Tears for Fears freak because no one has heard that song in forever. Well, we were walking around in antique stores a few hours later and it came on the radio!!! WHAT?! Magic.

3) Grooveshark introduced me to Birdy last week and since then I've been listening to her a lot. She's 15 and British and awesome. So I told my dad about her because I thought he'd like her music. Well don't ya know, my dad called me to tell me she was on Ellen yesterday while he was watching! Now, mind you, her first CD made its US debut yesterday so it's not weird that she was here, but of all the shows to be on, it was Ellen!! The only talk show my dad watches! A day or 2 after I told him to listen to her! Slightly less magic—but still magic.

Ok maybe I'm making mountains out of molehills here but I think this pretty much means that I should quit my day-job and become a pop star. Basically, that's what I think this is telling me.
