Every so often, I will check to see if I have “Jedi” powers. I typically check for this ability after I have made myself comfortable only to realize I left a light on or I left my glasses in the other room.
Well, last night, I made myself comfortable in bed and realized I left my door (halfway) opened. So I waved my hand like Obi Wan in an attempt to shut my door: “Holy shit! It moved!!” My heart starts to race, and I jump out of that bed as if I been bit in the ass by a snake.
So when I go to inspect the other side of the door… “Oh, it’s just the cat. Whew!” He had his toy wedged underneath the door and just happened to try to get it out at the exact same time I tried top do my stupid hand wave thing.
The whole thing only lasted all of two seconds, but it was quite terrifying to have my understanding of the physical nature of this world I live in go tumbling before my eyes.
It’s funny, because in the past, I’ve often asked myself: “How would I react if I did the Jedi thing and it actually worked?” And I would often tell myself: “I’d be beside myself with joy!”
Nope, that shit scared the crap outta’ me!
Anyway, I’m sharing this because I know for a fact, I’m not the only Doper on this board that periodically checks to see if they have “Jedi” powers. So be warned.
