You must be wondering what the title means and to be fairly honest I'm with you on this one. Not sure what I wanted to called today's post so I ended up with my Coffee Bean order and my slight annoying issue that I've been having since I became friends with one of the worker there. What a love story but that's for other day... So it ended up being Cookies and Cream for my order, and little buggies for my own love life...
So today's post has a personal twist in it, and questions that I've been having for years, unanswered questions, obviously or else it wouldn't be fun.
Curse- to use a word or expression that is not polite and shows that you are very angry.
Curse- magic words that are intended to bring bad luck to someone.
Curse- a cause of trouble and unhappiness.
As you may have guessed it, today's post is about a curse, one specific curse which is getting all the women in my family in trouble especially from my grandmother to my mother to me. Three generations of unpleasant love stories, and I'm only starting my life... So start imagining the worse for me. ( I'm currently laughing as I'm writing this, but trust me, deep down, I'm crying an ocean).
Don't get me wrong, I have a hard time believing in curses especially love curses. When I hear the word curse, I automatically go for witches and magic spells, the stuff that are in fairytales. Laugh all you want cause I'm laughing at this idiotic thing myself. But when I look at the love experience between my grandmother, my mother and a few other women in my family and how embarrassing their love lives are... You can only believe a curse is upon the women of the family. There is obviously some couples who are doing great, but most are beyond sad and the women fall for the wrong guys. Talk about bad luck!
It started with my grandmother who passed away a few years back. After that, my mother talked to me a bit more about the woman who I had never seen in my life and won't ever be able to. My grandmother had no luck when it came to love, to find the right man and to be a strong independent woman. Love makes you blind and she was the best example for it!
Little side note: French guys, especially back in the 1970's until 2000, were known to be a little too "superior" compare to woman who were to believed to be in the kitchen taking care of the household and the kids. Somehow, even after the woman got more power, the men are still known to act like jerks to their women. Old fashion style to make it simpler. That is also the reason why I try my hardest to stay away from French guys, plus after seeing the world and living in a different country makes me realize that no matter what, I will never really get along with a French guy.
So to go back to my grandmother, she had no luck, and her choice was poor concerning her life style as well as her love life. From walking away type of guys to physically/emotionally violent guys. Well, I'm sure you can imagine these types of guys.
Choosing or falling in love with the right person seems to be nearly impossible for us, and even if I only started, I'm afraid to fall into the same cycle as my grandmother as well as my own mother. They both endure sad moments, no luck with guys, and both never gave me a good example, so being scared of falling for the wrong guys in obviously there!
Despite the fact that we have no luck in love, I don't want to get through the same bullocks of my grandmother nor my mother's. It would be too hurtful, and last time I check I was far from being my mother, not that strong.
Now, the only thing I want to understand is why we have no luck, why do we attract the same type of guys, and why don't we go for the people who are suppose to make us happy?
Is it because we have no positive male figure around us? Is it because we trust too much (can't be right for me since I don't trust people)? Are we too nice (maybe yes for my mother)?
Too many thoughts, too many ideas to keep up with. Is the curse even real? Because all I know is that it's just some bad luck that is running through family members.

Happy Friday the 13th...
As many of you know, it's today, and for a lot of you, it is considered an unlucky day! Some developed a phobia out of it, paraskevidekatriaphobia or fear of Friday the 13th. If you are indeed one to worry about this unlucky day, I suggest you stay in bed all day to escape any bad luck that may come your way. Even though in 1976, New Yorker Daz Baxter was apparently so afraid of Friday the 13th decided the safest place to stay was his bed. However, Mr. Baxter was killed when the floor of his apartment block collapsed that day. Be careful, your bed may not just be the greatest idea!
If you do not care whatsoever, please do embrace your Friday as it is, indeed, just another Friday.
I don't personally take pride in worrying about that day, but I still try to stay away from any "bad luck" situation. Sadly, a lot happens on Friday the 13th, for instance, in November 2015, in Paris, a series of terrorist attacks happened. In 2010, lightning struck 13 years of age boy from Suffolk on Friday the 13th at 13:13 or 1:30 P.M. That's called horrible luck! To go back to History, WWII, one of the most destructive of Nazi Germany bombing campaign occurred on the 13th, Queen Elizabeth, and King George VI were at tea. Five bombs struck the palace, on of which destroyed the interior of the Royal Chapel. Another ruptured a water main and three people were injured, one fatally.
For music lovers, Friday, September 13th, 1996... I was just a few months old, the rapper Tupac dies from gunshot injuries in a Las Vegas hospital. That obviously made a lot of people think it was fake and some will say that he is still alive, hiding away. I don't know about this theory... And finally, to sum up, the tragedies... In 2012, cruising off the Tuscan coast turned chaotic as the Costa Concordia cruise ship struck a reef and began to tilt. It starts out by passengers evacuating by lifeboats, but let's just say that the ship ended up sinking and survivor had to be airlifted to shore by helicopter. A massive salvage operation took 19 hours to raise the ship from the reef where it came to rest. The captain was arrested for manslaughter and for abandoning the ship instead of directing the evacuation.
Friday the 13th has some crazy stories, some believable, others not so much. Yet, many of us believe in the theory of having bad luck on the 13th... Some hotel such as the Carlton hotel in London misses out on the thirteenth floor. Many don't want to travel that day leaving the flying company a bit "stuck". The number of property transaction decline on Friday 13, don't sell or buy a house that day unless you want bad luck.
But it also has some perks... It isn't all that bad... Some good things happened as well like:
1. Hollywood arrived! The sign was unveiled on the 13th. At the time it was to advertise a housing development, now it's just one of the biggest tourist attraction!
2. Amazing day for the Friday the 13th film franchise! A lot of money was made! GOOD JOB!
3. Athens took back from fascist powers in WWII! Amazing for history! Italy invaded Greece but they were pushed back by Greek forces! Then came the German who helped out and occupied Greece until help from the American, Russian, and British moved in driving the Germans north. That was in October 1944, on Friday the 13th, Athens was back to Greece and not fascism allowed!
4.First equal opportunity employment act for government workers!!!!! President Johnson signed an executive order meant to rid the U.S government of discrimination on account of gender!
Anyways, Friday the 13th is a myth, nothing has proved it was an unlucky day. You believe it or you don't, it's up to you! Frankly, I don't care much, but I still manage to worry a little...
This "unlucky day" originated by different ideas like:
Apparently, Friday is an unlucky day and 13 an unlucky number, you add them up and here you got Friday the 13th!
In numerology 13 is considered to be an irregular number and is also the number of witches you need to form a coven (if you believe in that stuff).
Obviously, everyone has a different story to back it up! Nothing dramatic happened that day for me, so I can't judge or take it into consideration. All I know is that I ain't working today and I believe I'll be safer home than at work with some terrible customers. Maybe I would have been mean to one of them.
Let's play the safe card!
