Although I do think that the amount of sportswear I have on influences my team's performance. That's why when the Green Bay Packers play, I make sure I have on my green and gold socks, and underwear, and shirt, and hat, and my Packer "G" earring, my Packer ring, my Packer necklace. I used to wear Packer Zubas, but those are so 1980. Ya know? Besides, I don't want to look silly, right?
It's the power of positive thinking.
Yeah, that would be crazy thinking. Although they do seem to lose if I'm not in full regalia, but I think that's just a coincidence. *rubs his Packer money clip for luck*Right or to show support - which is great.
It would only be a superstition if you thought that was the only way the Pack could win......I mean if you missed one item on a day and you believed they lost a game for it....well...

I don't tell my parents anything until the deed is done (like getting a book contract, or going to an audition). Every time I told them, it's jinxed.

I also say a very short prayer before every flight.
I also only shower on the third Wednesday of the third month of the third year.

...meaning to say that you take a bath at all other times.
Riddle solved, hehe :-D

No, I said "I only shower on that day" -- I don't take baths on that day at all. I didn't say "I shower only on that day."
I'm such a shrewd writer....
Tee hee.
When I think that something's definitely going to happen (100%) it never does.
If I say I'll pass a test, something happens to make me fail. The converse was also true once.
Nowadays, I automatically doubt my expectations because I can't take the failures and problems from 100% positive thinking any more.
I don't believe in traditional folklore superstitions.
But I DO believe in the hypothesis of the existence of a yet undiscovered 'energy' that is linked to the mind and soul, and is used as the basis of chinese traditional medicine. Hence my belief in the 'thinking affects outcome.'
Sometimes I feel that when I'm so confident that something's gonna happen, some supernatural being says: "You know what? I'll prove you wrong for being so overconfident" and sends the opposite my way. Is that weird or what?
