Write one leaf about your lucky number.

Thirteen. I love the number 13. It has the power to freak out entire cultures, churn the superstitions of the gullible & alter the very structure of our greatest monuments… and yet it’s only a number, with no more ties to misfortune then the number 4 in China and Japan, 17 in Italy and 87 in Australia (that’s weird). When you’re born a fluke, you naturally flaunt your disrespect of the superstitious. Sure, odd things will happen.  Inexplicable events will disrupt, even damage, your life. But with 6 billion people living in this world, experiencing hundreds of events, large and small, everyday, the odds are good that bad things will happen that are associated with the number 4, 13, 17 or even 87 (seriously, that’s a weird number to fear).  There will also be unfortunate events associated with the number 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7… yes, even lucky number seven.  Its called probability.

Yes, 13 rocks. Especially thirteen pennies.
