Antonionioni:
These sonnets are great. Did you read my spiel on 'Luck?' Please see my Quips and Infos. Luck, I say, is more than an imaginary thing. It is real; created.

Thanks Dark Mistress -
By the way, that last line has two possible meanings- that my luck has turned bad, or that luck doesn't actually exist at all - I haven't had particularly bad luck in all areas - it's probaby about equal - if I had to give an opinion, I'd say luck is no more than an imaginary thing. Thanks for your very nice words!!

Thanks Rumored - I don't know if I've heard that song - but anyway,
if we create our own luck, then I suppose it doesn't really exist - except in our minds. This is something I'm becoming more interested in - things that aren't in nature but we imagine to be there - does that make them effectively there - have we added to nature? Or is anything we imagine there, even if it's only in our minds?

Well I had no bad luck so to speak...
and I was like you didn't realise until half way through the day...that last line is sad. I don't believe in luck but I believe in karma...you seem like a nice person so I'm sure you've got plenty of good karma coming your way!

Tony, "luck be a lady tonight", comes to mind..as long as its good luck
I think we create much of our own good or bad luck...

Yes, Mary - I've stopped eating it now - I've only had half.
That has filled me up enough. Spaghetti, did you say? Is there a suitable emoticon?

Another great piece! You are coming close to Shakespeare's record for
sonnet writing? Must be close on 300? Friday 13th? Strange time though I'm not a triskaidekaphobic!

Hi Mary - they are French onion flavour crouton snacks.
I've had some - I quite like them, though they're not the best thing I've ever tasted! Well, I only use the pea emoticon on big occasions!!

Hi Maryaryary - it is, yes, and it's been an okay day.
So much for superstition. I'm pleased not everyone has blogged about this - I thought they might. How are you - are you still touring the southlands?

Now u have me pondering about that one sexual event I had from hell, LOL
because I thought oyu approved (of this pic) not the hellish sex. Sex may be like the wind and food....some nights an unexpected wind throws dirt into your sex-food. Cheers Matey!

Hi Durbs! Yes, it's all just the forces of nature really, isn't it?
Also, some sex acts might have been ordained in hell, LOL! Glad you liked pondering - that's what it's meant to do for you!!

Luck is like saying every SEX act was ordained in heaven! It's a wind (pun)
I think I beleieve it's like a wind....it comes up apprently for no reason, but scietifically there is a reason ...except the victims sometimes get away with a scracth or two. But in the third world, because of woman's and man's action and inaction, natiral disasters have a worse impact. Can we blame luck or huamnity that maldistributes resources of all kinds, including disaster prevention measures. Good one Tony; you do make me want to comment with another blog, LOL

Hi Decshak. Is that right? Which Friday 13th is it?
And more importantly, when does it come back round again? I need to withdraw all my money and go on a continuous spending spree for the final year!

"Luck Be a Lady Tonight" is how the old Frank Sinatra song goes....
I think the next near miss of an asteroid is supposed to occur on a Friday the 13th. We don't really know how Earth's gravity is going to affect the asteroid's orbit. It may affect the asteroid just precisely enough, on Friday the 13th, so that the asteroid won't miss us next time it comes around, knock wood....

Luck as a see-saw is a good comparison, Tonus Bonus. Sometimes there's a fat kid sitting on the other end, though.
Keep the rain over your side for a bit, will ya?
I can remember Summer - it was in March.
