psychic?

Ever get the feeling that you may just be psychic? Like, you may for some reason just know what might happen in the near future? Little things. I know it sounds completely mental but just some little things just scare the shit out of me.

Yesterday morning, I was in the shower thinking to myself - wouldn't it be cool if I met someone else with the name Juan and I'd never had that particular thought before, I thought it was fairly weird to be thinking about stuff like that. Fair enough, I get to work and the first customer I served was this dude named Juan. We had a little conversation, about how so much people get our names wrong and had a little chuckle about the wrong pronounciations. Afterwards, I remembered having that thought that same morning. I thought, man... not again...

It happens with songs as well. Random songs that I may not have heard in ages just pop up in my head in the morning, like it just repeats and repeats in my head, sometimes waking me up even. And either a) someone ends up singing that song around me; or b) a coverband sings that song that same day/night; or c) it's the first song that pops up on the radio or just plays in the radio during the day. When I say random songs, I don't mean songs like S.O.S by Rihanna or something really mainstream. Think "Kokomo" by Beach Boys or "Rainbow Connection" by Kermit the Frog (!) or something.

Like I remember in Hawaii, I was in the lift to get to our room. I had "Baby Can I Hold You" by Tracy Chapman in my head nonstop. I just couldn't stop singing it period. We head out to Ala Moana Shopping Centre and they had a band playing somewhere and yup, they played that song. Out of all the songs, that was the one that was played. Weird.

Ooh, check this out. I drew this pic in illustrator a day before we went off to Hawaii. I then took the photo with Rons camera below a few days later whilst in Hawaii. Similarities? Yup. Coincidence? I don't think so...
