paraskavedekatriaphobia


The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia (a word that is derived from the concatenation of the Greek words Παρασκευή, δεκατρείς, and φοβία, meaning Friday, thirteen, and phobia respectively; alternative spellings include paraskevodekatriaphobia or paraskevidekatriaphobia) or triskaidekaphobia, and is a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia, a phobia (fear) of the number thirteen.

Culture Shock

I met a nice young woman today
via her blog

well actually I’ve been reading her for a while
and we’ve conversed lightly via email and comments
on her blog

today she reminded me
(quite by accident)
that the reason I read
other people’s blog
is so that I can live my life
vicariously through them

and I suppose that’s why you guys
read mine…..

but I digress….

in this particular woman’s blog
I am constantly reminded
of the need for love and romance
in every human beings life
no matter how angry
or jaded we become…

I am reminded
and I am fascinated
by the differences
in our cultures

while I am strengthened by the
sameness
in them as well….

she and I are not of an age…
nor of a culture….

I am Irish Canadian
she is tri racial

I am a biker
she’s a girlie girl

but there are some things
so much the same for us
that I am rewarded with
the understanding
that somehow
life will work itself out

because
somewhere…
somehow…
there is someone…
who understands….

What if Mia?
what if?
