Something very, very strange just happened to me
I just watched an Eminem video, "Mosh," - which was amazing - from a link that I saw at the top of this post:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x1177980


Then about three minutes later, my phone rang and the guy on the other end asked, "Is Eminem there?"

And I said, "No."

To which he responded, "Sorry to trouble you." Then he hung up.

And the hair on the back of my neck started to go up. Anyone else experience this, or can someone offer a logical explanation?

4. Something I learned the other day from my computer friend*
Individuals can connect to your computer via wireless connection and snoop, including invasive neighbors or whoever.

If you have a wireless connection, make sure its disabled and shut down.

Hmmm.

Also, call the telephone company and report what happened.

9. Synchronicity
Sorry it's not a "logical" explanation unless you're very heavy into Jungian theory.

There must be a HUGE meme/"cusp in time" associated with this video, this election, this time period. Others may have felt it as a "change in the Force".
