Weird Coincidence Thread
 

So I recently got a new job at a concert venue in Ottawa called Mavericks. I was doing flyer design. I never really knew the names of my bosses, since it's a job that I work from home. I knew there were two, and one of them dealt with all the web-related stuff, so I sent my flyer design back to him. He replied with the following message "Is the flyer 11x17? -Chris Habib"

what the fuck? but it's not the same chris habib right?.......right?!!!

haha, naw. Just pretty coincidental that there's 2 "Chris Habib"s that I know that are in the music industry that I have contact with

I have a great story along these lines, but I will have to post it tonight when I have more time.

I had a dream in which a bird killed another bird, and the next day a hawk killed my sister's duck.

i have deja vu's all the time.

I was listening to Rather Ripped the other day and Lee's song was playing as I drove by Lee Ave.

Yeah, me too.

I was listening to music and all of the sudden people on this forum were talking about music.

I like coincidences. Post more.

praise for paramnesia is all about this thing.

paramnesia. you know what it means right?

all of the recs ofthe flesh history is purely based on random coincidences.

i met with our drummer becuz i was in love with a girl who actually happened to be very close to him. i kept going in this place where my drummer works... where i was able to see this girl too. this was 4 years ago. then one day i was very depressed (at the time i lost the drumemr i was playing with) and went to his place to get a chance to see this girl. she wasn't there.
anyway all of a sudden i kinda go around him and we end up chatting it up, music shit and the rest.

bang.

he's the one!

the other day we jammed and ... here's the recs of the flesh!

I saw that Gorillaz CD at the store misplaced about a week ago, in the computer game section for some reason, and that always bugs the crap out of me, so I picked it up to put it in the right place and at the exact moment I touched it, Feel Good Inc. started playing over the store radio thing. That kind of weirded me out. That must have been the only time I've ever touched one of his CDs, too.

56. The number 56, which is also my username, in Russian, as you should all know by now. Anyway, that number pops up every where in my life.

Examples:
My first name has five letters, and my last name has six.
The house I've lived in my entire life was built in 1956.
My SS# has 56 in it twice.
Countless time I've checked the time, and it will be 3:56, 6:56, etc.

A lot of other strange happenings with this number. It sort of weirds me out.

EDIT: This was almost post #856

i dont think thats conclusive at all but nonetheless interesting. lennon was a numeroligist, his number was 9.

I think coincidences all come down to how you perceive them. i am very interested in mathematical fields such as probability so i never really see a coincidences in life...

I don't really need you guys to sort it out, and tell me if it is a number of importance. I'm telling you.

o rly

...

then write a book about it on a typewriter.

The book would be boring, and no one would read it.

Maybe sell, 56 of em? Eh, either way.

I think you might be right about coincidences, it has to do with what someone makes of it. I should also mention, people who love, and understand math are terrific folks. I envy it.

i envy those who are perceptual (or atleast imaginative) enough to catch reoccuring themes throughout there life.

cut your lawn

if you dont youll be a ba d gir l

"i envy those who are perceptual (or atleast imaginative) enough to catch reoccuring themes throughout there life."

fuck, are you kidding me?
not to be tedious or pretentious or whatever, but that's how the band's demo title came out, and you're dragging me to talk about it!!!

it's all about apophenia, or THE EXPERIENCE OF SEEING PATTERNS AND CONNECTIONS...

1000 coincidences every fucking day...

this is really a cool thread.

i'm some kinda numerologist myself. numbers are weird things. for example the demo lasts 18' 11'' ... what can you do with those numbers?

the band?

we're fucking cute aren't we??? :eek:

numerology is all about accepting the numbers and calculations you want to use to prove a pattern, and rejecting the ones that dont....

actually it's fairly simple, you basically go where your mind drains you...
nothing else, imho.

but it's funny how you keep on noticing the very same things sometimes... almost like this whole place revolves around yourself...

oh and btw, sorry for the band... i'm not a pretentious cock.

much more of a revolting cock.

Exactly. You're not even going to conciously eliminate things that don't fit your pattern, you just won't notice them. The chances of a seemingly odd coincidence happening to someone are actually high. For example, you only need a group of 23 people gathered togther for there to be a 50/50 chance of two of them sharing the same birthday.

Nonetheless this is quite a good one. I'll try and make it brief as possible (and I appologise for the obscure namedropping):

So, in March me and some friends went to Poland because my housemate was showing his film around the country and as part of it he put on a gig in Krakow with Cassetteboy and DJ Rubbish (he used Cassetteboys music in the film) and their manager Paul. We all had a good time and all that and came back. Some months later this DJ guy (whose name I forget) who is on Matthew Herberts label played here in Cardiff. My other housemate (who didn't go to Poland) went to see him, got off his tits on MDMA and invited him back to our house. Anyway, my housemate who made the film was talking to this guy, randomly asked him if he knew Cassetteboy et al and said he did and that HE ACTUALLY LIVED WITH THEIR MANAGER! Odd.

I get regular synchronicity thoughts when dealing with people.It should be enough to make me a very superstitious person but i kind of ignore the whole thing and let it flow.I'm gay,by the way.

Really! :eek:
I never would of thought that. ;)

Yes gay.Incredibly gay.As gay as they come.

Well, we can still be friends. :D

Waht?Even if i'm gay?
