Bad Luck Follows Me

Lately, I’ve begun to wonder if I broke a mirror, walked under a ladder, my stars are out of alignment or I’ve tangled with a black cat inadvertently. I’ve never been superstitious.

I’ve always believed that a person makes their own luck and has an element of control over their own misfortune. Here lately, however, I seem to have run into a streak of incredible incidents that shakes my belief system and makes me wonder if I need to knock on wood after all. But I still believe that witchcraft is nothing but ancient village scare tactics.

Bad things happen in threes - at least that is what I’ve always heard from those more superstitious than me. So, where do I begin? Last week I was trending, and trending for all the wrong reasons! While trending isn’t exactly a bad thing, there is a thin line between fame and sleaze. As the gods of bad luck would have it, I got on the verge of the latter category, only common sense saved me on the very last minute, just before I could make a complete fool of myself, on radio nogal!  People are complex creatures.
