Have you ever been cursed?

When I was in high school, I used to be friends with this one guy. He knows who he is. Bastard. Why so rough, you ask? Well, the dude cursed me. I was hanging out with him one day when I happened to glance at a digital clock that said 12:34. He then proceeded to do this mumbo jumbo voodoo crap and said, from this day forward I curse you so that every time you look at the clock, it will be 12:34.

Now, the curse didn't go down exactly as he foretold. I was able to look at clocks unconsciously, in passing, or if someone asked me what time it was. But if I did look at a clock, it would say 12:34. And this started 15 years ago (I graduated HS in '94). That's a long damn time to be seeing 12:34 everyday.

There was a brief reprieve the last couple of months. I seemed to have gotten "over" this curse... or maybe I just didn't care anymore. Whatever the reason, I didn't see it much if ever.

Until my wife asked me one day if I saw 12:34 anymore. Sure enough, the reprieve was lifted and I have seen 12:34 everytime it has been on a clock since then. MOTHER OF PEARL, it's maddening.

I have a plan though. I think I know how to get rid of it. I need to transfer the curse, so since you have read this simple blog post I am now cursing you with seeing 12:34 on a clock whenever you consciously look. This won't take effect until you forget about this, so go ahead and look at a clock right now to get it out of your system.

Enjoy the world of 12:34.

Dude, reread the last part of the post:

"This won't take effect until you forget about this, so go ahead and look at a clock right now to get it out of your system.

Enjoy the world of 12:34."

You have some time before it drives you insane. Not much time, but some...
