I have a history of somehow making my iPhone do things when I'm not directly or purposely using my iPhone. I carry it in such a way that I end up opening apps and have even, once, thanks to predictive text, wrote really kind things about a family member without meaning to.
The other day I come downstairs from watching TV. And in the process of placing my phone down on the counter, all of a sudden I'm hearing/seeing an old Doctor Who video with David Tennant (plus cast and crew) lip-singing to the Proclaimer's "I'm Going to Be (500 Miles)".
It was surprising.
It was weird.
It was random in the kind of way a person-like-me feels is far from random.
Do you know what I mean?
Probably not.
I took it as a message.
I also took it as a message that I will never decipher. At least not in this lifetime.
I took time out of my busy life to watch the video even though I'm not currently in an obsessed-with-Doctor-Who phase. And even though I doubted the video would provide me with an easy answer of what the powers-that-be are trying to tell me.
After watching the video, I started to do some evening chores while getting back to the Weird Crap in Australia episode I had been listening to early in the day.
The episode was about Kylie Minogue.
About two minutes into getting back into it, guess what they mention?
Yep. Minogue guest starring on Doctor Who. During the David Tennant years.
I refuse to believe all this is a coincidence.
As I talked about in my previous post....in my old age, I plan to refuse to be open-minded and logical about these things.
Although I think believing it's all random and coincidental is what's really illogical and closed-minded.
All that being said....I still have no idea what the universe, the powers-that-be...(the multiverse?) is trying to tell me with all this David Tennant stuff.
Edited to add 2/6/2024-Forgot to mention that between the Proclaimers and the podcast...while I waqs doing my chores I suddenly, randomly blurted out something like "We need to find George." Or "Where is George?"

I should also add that a day or two later, Doctor Who jumped back into my life again via a quite-trippy Te Reo Māori app that mentions Whovian and Time Lords.
It's a great app. Very helpful in terms of language-learning. Though despite my past experiences of loving and watching Doctor Who, a lot of the references are lost on me.

I started using the app right after reading some of Ricken Lazlo Hale's brilliant, life changing, inspiring self-help book...and the writing-voice of the app reminded me very much of Hale's.

Just came up with a hypothesis of what all these things mean.
Maybe the universe isn't sending me a message.
Maybe it's just trying to throw weird things at me to cheer me up and distract me from all of Trump's Hitlering.

For now on, I'm doubling down on both believing in the supernatural and comparing Trump to Hitler.
