Singing away the curses
About my dying computer. I seriously wonder if in some spooky way it's just me?
I like to think of myself as a rational and intelligent person, but some things just aren't rational.
Let me tell you about the weird effect I have on
electronic things. They re-adjust themselves, develop
alarms that I have never set and don't know how to
unset, break down in strange unexplicable ways.
I had a toyota corolla car from 1990-4 that in 1993
started to kill things: animals and birds came diving
under my wheels every 2-3 months? In two years I hit a
pheasant, a hawk, a rabbit , a weasel,a large dog,
several small birds, etc. The rabbit came at me, I
swerved and braked and it leapt in underneath. I also
hit a man who stepped out into the road right in front
of me looking the other way, but I had managed to
brake hard first so he was clipped but not hurt and
apologetic for frightening me. I sold that car and
bought another old cheap car while still living in the
same place, living the same lifestyle, and hit nothing
in the following year.
Don't quite know what to make
of it. Was it a warning of the absolutely foul time that
came next, when my life was in grave risk over several months?
Or was it makutu, Maori sorcery? A curse that I carry still?
