One morning before heading out to go to work I sat playing my guitar for about twenty minutes, working out the chords for Zeppelin's "Going to California", and awesome, sort of obscure Zep tune. Well I had to go or I was going to be late, and I reluctantly put the guitar away and hurried out the door, got in my van and took off across town. I got about five minutes away and was still sorta singing the lyrics in my head, so I turned on the radio, and yes it was "Going to California" ... Unbelievable.
This really illustrates a classic plate of shrimp. They are often the kind of minute detail that most people wouldn't even notice. And the occurences, individually, might be easily dismissed as random coincidences, but when viewed together, over time, the occurences seem to garner more "meaning". What that meaning is is a total mystery, seems hard to contort any meaning out of some of the strange circumstances that often accompany these stories. When these events occur day after day, then the argument that they are just freak coincidences becomes untenable, after all how likely is it that you will experience a freak occurence day after day? They really just become a regular occurence that can't be explained, which is very cool.
Feel free to share your stories on this blog ... I will continue to try to explain some of mine as they occur.
