This attraction thing.

Ok, I've been following with interest, a good share of skepticism, and some real curious occurences; the hype about the law of attraction. This doesn't mean (for those still untouched by the 'Secret' and other self-help gurus) the cute woman walking by, or the good-looking guy who just smiled at you. It basically is explained as karma, what you give out you get back, or universal magnetism. (More or less). Let me give you a few examples. I always get a great parking spot. Always. I drive into a 'full' parking lot yesterday, just across the street from where I want to go, and there isn't one single spot! I couldn't believe it. Then I thought, "Well, where is the guy who was pulling out for me?" Sort of tongue-in-cheek and all (Wait, can you have your tongue in your cheek if you are just thinking something? Ugh, nevermind). So I shrug and start to pull out. Just at the driveway, a car pulls up next to me and honks....
