Why I Chose This Subject

Why did I chose to blog about numbers one might ask?  There is not a huge life changing role that numbers have played in my life but I feel I have always been a bit more fascinated with them than the average Joe.  They are a HUGE part life, however most they are such a big part they aren't viewed as an overly important part.

Have you ever heard of making a wish when you notice that the clock reads 11:11, either a.m. or p.m.?  Or thought it was cool you happened to glance at the clock at 12:21 noticing the ones were on the outside and the twos on the inside?  My personal favorite is looking at the clock at 3:12, it's my birthday (March 12th)!  Are you someone who has to have the radio in your car turned to an even number on the volume control?  Or someone who only sets their alarm in the morning to wake you up at a time that is in an increment of five?  That's me.

I'm a little obsessive about my numbers, but thankfully not in a way that disturbs my everyday life.  Noticing the "wrong numbers" may take over someone with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder's life.  A movie has also made me interested in this subject called "The Number 23."  This movie is an example of how something as simple a number can drastically change a life.
