Strange, the things that don't really have bearing on our lives, but if you look closely they can turn out to be interesting. For me, one of those things is dates and times of things in my life.
I was born on April 24. 4/24
My wife has the day March 24. 3/24 She was born right at midnight so her parents were given the choice of the day before or that day. They chose the 24th. So she is one month, to the day, older than me. March 24th is also the day I went through Traditions, and my start day at Disney.
Our wedding day is 1/23/04. I prefer to write it 1/23/4.
Space Shuttle Challenger had it's fateful voyage on January 28, 1986. My brother was born in 1986, and January 28th is my grandmother's (mother's side) birthday.
My grandmother on my father's side had the birthday of April 7. So did my third grade teacher... who shares my grandmother's and my last name.
My dad's birthday month and day are my mom's birthday month and day, but reversed. 12/5 and 5/12.
On the day I earned my CDL, I started at 8:00 in the morning, missed 8 points on my pretrip and 8 points on my drive test. That was August 8. Two years later, at my next job, my hire date was August 8, and the job after that.
My wife is a twin. I am the twin that survived my mom's miscarriage.
There's more, but that's the most interesting stuff.
No, I am not into numerology. I just remember numbers really well. I could tell you the phone number at most of the jobs I've had, I know my wife's, father's, mother's, brother's and a couple friends' SSN's, I can tell you my AAA number and all my credit card numbers off the top of my head. Always been wired that way.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?
