Fool me once...

So, how ya doin? Good, good. Me? I'm doing alright.

Umm... yeah. Well, I bought another prayer candle. Yep, lit it up again and prayed for something. Well, prayer isn't really the correct word to use here. I guess it's more like "wished" for something. I treat my prayer candles like shooting stars. And what's with all these stars and violence. Why can't they be waving stars or resting stars. Why they gotta be shooting all the time.

Sorry 'bout that. Kinda got sidetracked there. I think it's my guilty conscious that doesn't want to admit that I bought AND lit this candle. So the million dollar question is... do I blow it out?

I think the colors mean something because they are always the same color for the same saint. EVERYWHERE. This time I bought the Virgin Mary candle. I'm not quite sure what is the purpose of this candle. Right. So I'm going to leave it burning until I go to bed and then probably blow it out. I mean, seriously, I am going to check that damn candle VERY carefully before I go to bed.

I think someone placed a hex on me. Does that sound crazy? I think it sounds certifiably looney, but I have my suspicions. I heard that you can't have any voodoo curses placed on you if you never believe in voodoo. Don't know how true that is, but I'm going to keep believing that. I was watching this show last week and there were witches placing hexes on people. I wonder if there is some witch out there hexing me? If so, that person sucks at hexes because this ain't nothing. You hear me, NOTHING. I've pissed off a lot of people in my life, so I definitely have plenty of enemies.

It's kind of funny. All my life, I have been scared to death of people not liking me. Now, don't care so much. You don't like me, your loss. I'm still going to be me and never going back to that shell of a man I was before. Back to the candle situation. I will test this new candle and see if it works as advertised. Well, it really doesn't come out and advertise anything. But word of mouth has spread of the special prayer candle powers, so I am waiting to see it happen.

I keep checking it out every now and then for some special glow or for it to talk to me. See, this is why I am cursed. I can't help but be skeptical about life. It would appear that I have lost all kinds of faith lately.
