I had a mystical experience last night. Driving home from playing tennis, I was stopped by a train. I had an Afro-Cuban jazz CD playing and as soon as I came to a stop, a song came on that was a percussive immitation of the rythm of a train, including some instrument doing a damn good train whistle. Very strange. Then when I got home and downloaded the photo, I noticed that it was image number 0666. OK, I’m sure that there’s an explanation for this, but it gets even wierder, I can’t seem to locate that cut from the CD.
well, there are moments. I don’t think the Twilight Zone was really just a TV show.
“Submitted for your approval. A blogger who has been stopped at a crossing into another dimension…”
bahaha… I see thenarrator and I were on the same track there
that’s bizarre. I, too, started humming the “doo-doo-doo-doo” TZ theme when I read this.
Oh yah…….. Rod Serling needs to come back and produce this episode.
The effect was enhanced by the fact that the train crossing is in a very dark, deserted warehouse area on a detour that takes me on a wierd route to and from the club.
it’s because jazz is the devil’s music. he probably plays basketball, too.
I in fact have played against the devil. He has a nasty ankle breaking crossover move and can nail the pull up jumper from anywhere inside 18 feet. He’d own my soul now except that I got a lucky roll on a fadeaway off the right block that hit the front rim and rolled in. I am now enjoying the fruits of eternal youth and the ability to see through rache’s clothing.
He can only go to the right though so he’s pretty easy to defend.
bahahahhaha
The Devil is clearly trying to speak to you through Jazz … something I thought was taken as a given. Besides, any time I’m stuck at a train crossing, I assume it’s the devil’s work.
Actually, there are some people think that the devil plays shooting guard for the Sixers.
Iverson the debbil? now what would make you think that?
I heard that the devil came down to Georgia once, seems he was lookin’ for a soul to steal…
haven’t been to church lately? shoot.. then that explains everything… doesn’t it? just playing…
I assume there were no drugs involved in “enhancing” your tennis playing, right? And thanks for the comment, I’ll probably post some more pics once I get my act together for this up and coming massacre of a week.
dude, fuck. I was randomly scrolling through xanga, and while I was reading your story about the train, a train went by my town. (Its still honking its horn).
just wanted to inform you, I have to keep myself calm since its 4:20 am

You’re not going to believe this but as I was reading this post a train also went by here, and I don’t live anywhere near a rail road. Actually, I live about a 1/2 mile from Amtrak. Still, it was WEIRD!!!
haha, everything’s fine now.
I always associated trains with mystical experiences. I used to have dreams when I was a kid about trains running straight through my house, probably because I lived by train tracks. Still, it left an indelible impression. But you’re shitting us, right?
