Is co-incidence just a subconcious cognition?

Ok ok,
 
Have you ever noticed that coincidences come in clusters? Every now and then I hit a cluster of coincidences that make me question my delusions about reality. I’m tempted to concoct an entirely new set of delusions just to make it all square up.

My current view of reality is that I’m in a coma someplace and this apparent reality is my dream. It’s not so crazy if you compare it to the alternative explanation that my recent job requires years of experience and that i have secured it with zilch experience, but also at the same time not being able to do something i really want to do. The “good ones” are so bizarre that I generally don’t share them anymore because no one believes me when I do.

In my coma theory, the little runs of coincidences are the defects in my otherwise perfect delusion. For example, the other day i was at Changi airport to send a friend off, and then i hear my name in the intercom asking me to go to the CIS centre. It seems that their server had crashed and they were just randomly looking for my company staff over the intercom. They didn’t expect me to be walking past at that moment; they were just calling out to vent their frustration. I interpreted the experience to mean that the real me – the one in the coma – was getting a sponge bath.

Okay, it gets weirder. I’m sitting at the bus all set to go home. My secondary mission that day was to pick up a network switch that my boss asked me to get. I had totally forgotten about that "arrow" until a couple of teens sitting next to me started discussing about which switch is better. What is the chance of 2 school kids talking about network switches? Hell, I’m sure most of the readers wont know what a switch is. So I’m writing about coincidences as a lucky coincidence happens that totally saves me. I interpret this to mean that the real me – the one in the coma – is being sponge-bathed again, this time in my favorite spot.

What’s your strangest coincidence? And how long have you been in your coma?

 
Cheers.
ps: Definitely took me awhile to write this crap.
ps2: To all psychology students: The word “Cognition” is applied in context.

Laughing at Gilded Butterflies

Archtomato works in the IT security industry and has managed to convince his bosses for the past 10 years that his best work is yet to come.

Archtomato is a coffee nut, a photographer without focus, a traveler who can't read maps, a diver who floats all too easily and a champion of world peace.

He is an avid practitioner of the dark side of the force; admires Chuck Norris, Paris Hilton and collects vintage Batman comics. Just like the Horizon, Time Dilation, Flying pigs, Tax Reliefs and possibly, the "Opposition", he believes he is more of a concept than a corporeal being.

Archtomato believes that the true nature of man is decided in the battle between the conscious mind and the desires of the subconscious and that the evil of man's subconscious is often too strong to resist. The only way to win is to deny it battle.

He now lives in a world of pollution, profanity, adolescence, smelly beavers, zits, herpes, broccoli, racism, ozone depletion, sexism, conscription, yellow bananas, stupid people, nightmares, dog whisperers,Gamma Ray Bursts, Nuke Baddies and sings badly but regularly in the bathroom.
