How to Celebrate Chinese Language Day?📅🤔💭

I can't read a word of Chinese, but it would be nice to know how to read my Chinese wall calendar in the morning.

Every April 20th

Plus, I'd like to visit Hong Kong one day, so learning the language might be handy.

And it could even be handy at a local Chinese restaurant:-)

How to Celebrate National Garlic Day?🧄🥳👃😬👅

Every April 19th

I didn't want to go overboard with my garlic consumption today, as I have to work tomorrow and don't want my coworkers having to put up with the smell.

So, I only ate a tub full of Roasted Garlic Hommus today:-)

I'll chop up some garlic cloves and put them in my pasta on Monday night, as I don't have work on Tuesday.

Reading about the benefits of consuming garlic in my REMORANDOM Vol. 5 I think I'll have to consume more of it in the future.

My old mate at the 'Rune Soup' blog Gordon White is always banging on lately about "Mother Ayahuasca", but I think I'll stick to "Grandmother Garlic", as it doesn't give me the shits and make me sick:-P

REMORANDOM Vol. 5

Well, that's one of my goals anyway, since today is also Refresh Your Goals Day:-)

Every April 19th

And buying REMORANDOM volumes 6 and 7 is another one of my goals now after reading REMORANDOM Vol. 5:-)

How to Celebrate National Poker Day and Sylvester the Cat’s Birthday?🐱🎲😹🎴😿

Every April 19th

The first time a synchronicity truly floored me in my life was when I was burying my cat Sylvester sometime in the 90s, after he had been run over the night before, and as I was digging in the dirt to bury him Peter Gabriel's song 'Digging in the Dirt' came on my car's radio as I was just getting ready to lay my old mate Sylvester to rest.

Every April 19th

Funny thing is that I bought two giant dice yesterday after watching 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie', because I needed to buy some groceries before going home, and ALDI had these giant dice pillows on sale, and I bought two of them, with me not knowing that the next day was going to be 'National Poker Day'.

A reenactment of the dice toss that I threw when I got home

When I got home, I threw the dice pillows onto the couch and threw a 4 and a 2, not thinking at the time to snap a picture of the pillows on the couch.

I tried throwing them again to see what numbers would turn up and realized that 4 and 2 is the meaning of life and how my dice on my computer table shelf are laid out.

I had only been thinking of throwing a winning craps hand at the time and only realized after I had picked up the dice for a second roll that metaphorically I had thrown the perfect number as far as "life" goes, according to DNA (AKA Douglas Noel Adams).

Every April 19th

I think I'll leave the dice showing 42 on the couch from now on to remind me that life has more meaning than I'll ever know while I'm living down here:-)

Every April 18th

I didn't think I'd see a piñata or a dinosaur today, but I saw both in 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie' in 3D at the cinema today:-)

Not sure if I saw any Velociraptors though, as most dinosaurs look alike to me.

I only went and saw 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie' because I was paying attention to the signs all around me telling me to;-)

It was worth seeing in 3D I thought.

How to Celebrate National Animal Crackers Day?🐴😋

Every April 18th

I didn't eat any animal crackers today, even though I was so hungry that I could have eaten a horse, but maybe next year I'll try and find some 'Zodiac Animal Cookies' to try:-)

I think that I'd rather eat fortune cookies though.

Flag of Coventry
(the city that is)

I see the news this morning that Coventry City has won promotion to the Premier League next season.

They went down in 2001, the Year of the Snake, finishing in the wrong part of the ladder, ironically.

After 25 years, Coventry are

That's almost two orbits of Jupiter around the sun since Coventry have played in the Premier League.

I wonder what David Icke makes of all this, since he once was the Coventry F.C goalkeeper?-)

The Elephant sleeps no more?

I Like Icke ... Even Though I Don't Necessarily Agree with Everything He Says

Listening to This Paranormal Life on Blah Blah Blah Day?👂🐞🪲👀

Every April 17th

I found this 'This Paranormal Life' podcast episode when I did an Apple Podcast search today by putting the word 'Synchronicity' into the Apple Podcast search bar, and while these type of shows about the "Paranormal" aren't really my thing, I gave it a listen to hear what they had to say about 'Synchronicity' and I had a few personal laughs while listening to the episode.

I watched the You Tube of the episode and thought that it was funny that their clock that goes off "accidentally" during the show, is pretty much a black version of my white clock that is to the left of me in my computer room:-)

Synchronicity - The World’s Most
Unbelievable Coincidences

They also mention Narnia, which I wrote about recently in this post -

How to Celebrate D.E.A.R. Day? 📖👀💭🦁

Then they take the piss out of people like me, who have had meaningful coincidences with butterflies and other animals.

That's fine, I get it if you haven't had one yourself, but as comedians they should remember that who laughs last laughs the loudest:-)

And then one of the guys storms off the podcast set in an exercise of his free will and threatens to buy a McDonalds Happy Meal:-)

I wish he had have, just to see what toy he got with his meal:-P

They even mention Super Mario after that.

They then mention something about being on the right track and then say Carl Jung was the first "cat" to take it [synchronicity] serious.

Maybe they should read Richard Arrowsmith's latest post about Cats and tracks and synchronicity?

But I guess in the end ... what the bleep does any of us know when it comes to meaningful coincidence, right?

Fierce Grace and Simple Acts of
Devotion with Carrie-Anne Moss

I listened to this old 2024 'Circle This' podcast episode above yesterday, where Andrea Bendewald interviews her old friend Carrie-Anne Moss (AKA Trinity from 'The Matrix' films) and thought it was worth tagging onto this post, as I'm sure 'The Matrix' was mentioned in the 'This Paranormal Life' podcast episode.

And the first Matrix film came out in 1999, the Year of the Rabbit>;-)

Are You Noticing More Synchronicities
In Your Life Lately?

I've also included this podcast episode above here that I listened to on the weekend about the subject of synchronicity, not because I think Char is a good "psychic" (because she isn't IMO), but because the last part of the show mentions lady bugs as a sign:-)

I have seen John Edward live through and he is good IMO.
