A weird thing happened a moment ago while I was getting ready for bed. Early, I know, but with the total lack of a good night's sleep last night, I thought I should play it safe. Anyway, I was fishing my phone out of my pants pocket from the laundry pile to set the alarm for tomorrow when I randomly thought about Max and the way we sometimes call each other at the same time. It's not like we call each other every day, so it would only stand to reason that we'd call at the same time every once in a while. We're just long-time good friends, so I can't say we've got some psychic rapport going on either. We just seem to find ourselves on the same brain wavelength sometimes.
We've simultaneously dialed each other a couple of times. There've also been times when I'll think, 'I haven't talked to Max in a while, I should give him a call.' And my phone rings just as I reach for it. Guess who it is? It's even happened when he or I have been a few hundred miles apart in different states. There's never been anything creepy about it, just, "Hey dude, I was just going to call you!"
Back to the point, I was climbing into bed while pondering these strange coincidences. I opened up my phone to set the alarm and... yep, guess who had sent me a text not two minutes ago? Never heard it ring or noticed any blinking light indicating a message. Even if I had subconsciously registered the ringing or message light, I don't have anything programmed into it to diferentiate Max's messages from any others. I didn't even know he was already back in town from Washington DC.
Incredibly, randomly, our thoughts synced up somehow. Does it mean we've got some kind of deep spiritual connection, or that we knew each other in past lives, or that we're long lost brothers? I doubt it. My theory is that it's just a weird syncronisation that happens randomly. But that doesn't make it any less cool.
