Although I'm always light hearted on here this blog is not meant to be a joke :[
For the past week I've been seeing the numbers 444 at an alarming frequency. If you're unsure what this is, in Asian languages the word for "Death" sounds very similar to the word for "4". Three Fours, in repetition, refers to "death".
Now, I'm usually not that superstitious. I play poker professionally and have to absolve myself from being affected by any unusual patterns in probability and variance, and of course any superstitions, including the concept of luck. I think I do a pretty good job at this normally.
However I just see "444" way too much. I'd glance at my clock, 4:44. I'll see a stack size or a bet size amount in poker, $444. This has been happening a LOT for the past 1-2 weeks, and has been happening TOO much to just be a common pattern in chance/coincidence. I mean, of course statistically it could happen but it's very rare at this frequency, I'd estimate. To test that this isn't just a psychological issue, I told myself I'd give another arbitrary repetitive number, i.e. 333, added value and keep a look out for that. I've only noticed that maybe once in the past week, while I see 444 multiple times on average per day.
I'm going overseas for 5 months in a week, so I'm afraid maybe this is a sign that I'm going to die soon? :[.

Pretty fucking scary.
At least you're not seeing 666. Then you're going to hell. You still got a shot for heaven.

I considered changing my sig to 444 just on the off chance that it might scare you, but I didn't.
GL with this though, I'm sure you are just getting yourself worked up over nothing.
Edit: Holy shit 2 people beat me to it.
Edit2: God I wish I had 443 posts when I read this blog.

Hmm, not sure if the number 4 in Vietnamese sounds similar to the word for death.
My Vietnamese isn't that good though but I don't know.
Nothing will happen. It's a coincidence.

It's commonly known that this happens to people all the time. You start to notice something and convince yourself that it can't be coincidence... but don't worry there are no paranormal activities going on here :p

Set your alarm for 4:45 and don't look at the clock until it goes off?
|
I've had this happen to me too, for a period of like 3 weeks, every time I looked at a clock, the minutes would be 11.
|
I use to see 1337 a lot on my clock, then I changed to 12 hour time.

The brooding and paranoia that may come with this may affect your mood and health. If you don't let it get to you, merely seeing the number really shouldn't impart any misfortune on you. Have a safe sojourn overseas.

Is just your imagination.
People shouldn't be so superstitious in this day and age, those are just coincidences.

I think this is mundane random incidence. I don't know why.

Ironically, in asian languages, 666 is good. Suggests live going along smoothly, from what I've been told/interpret. 999 means long life. 999 > 444 mathematically, and superstitiously.
999
999
999. 9 9s with the 999. You like that?
