April (Snow) Showers and Possible Riders On The Horizon

It is pouring snow in Manhattan right now, three days after our gorgeous Sunday that filled Central Park with blankets, soccer balls, and frisbees. Oh yeah and people. Not just random toys and cloth items.

It's not too surprising to see the snow pour down - a friend told me Sunday that we should expect a cold snap right after the Spring weather. But it is strangely intriguing the way the events are happening.

For instance, today is April 5th, 2006. Seems normal, huh? No no, good sir. You see if you look at the numbers, you'll see today's date is 04/05/06 - it's sequential. But that's not all. Twice today the clocks will turn to 1:02 and 3 seconds. Making the complete date:

01:02:03 04/05/06

SPOOKY!

This phenomenom has garnered some attention already. What's more interesting to me are the events occuring today with this time spectacle (although even a lightswitch working is more interesting to me than my job today). Before the sky rained down it's magical cloud cotton, it donned it's most ominous face and reigned over New York like this:
















*from this guy's Flickr photostream. He looks like Jason Dill.

Also, when I sat down to write this post the time on my computer read 11:34. For those paying attention, that's the ominous time on a digital alarm clock when you can turn the clock upside down and it reads "hEll". SPOOKY! Of course, this also happens if your clock currently displays any time with an upside down spelling of the word "HELL" beside it. If that is your case, get a new clock. Today.

I get a little antsy and think about the apocalypse with all these weird occurances. However I don't think the apocalypse is happening today (I'm pretty sure that guy on a horse with a hooded black robe in the office today is a temp. Oh, he just slayed a man with his sicle. Yikes). However, if there are any signs of the apocalypse present today they could be found in our media. Last weekend's biggest grossing movie? Ice Age: The Meltdown. Sounds in line with today's events to me. But that's not that big of a deal. What really gets me is the two that tied for the #10 biggest grossing films splitting an even $7.4 million: Basic Instinct 2 and Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector.

We're all gonna die.
