Different Strokes For Different Blue Folks?
My last post talked about hearing of "ancient blue people" and "blue-bloods" only to see John Carter of Mars drenched in blue blood. Well today, I'm watching The Colbert Report with my brother, describing the story to him. He stops me by pointing out a pop up ad in the video advertising the fungus dwelling blue people movie, 'The Smurfs'. Just 10 minutes ago, I get a Christmas card in the mail from my cousin and her boyfriend. The card has multiple photos of the two, one of which involves them dressed as Smurfette and Papa Smurf respectively.
Rewind to Colbert Report. After watching the episode, we watched The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart. Things started off normal, until he did a bit where he was sitting at a desk made to look like it's in the oval office. He puts up a framed photo of two zebras fornicating. Zebra syncs were also mentioned in my previous post. He gets embarrassed and replaces the photo with one of him with the cast of 'Different Strokes'. You can ask any of my friends or select family members to confirm, but in the last month or so I've been using a phrase a lot to describe my opinion on accepting people for who they are and what they choose to believe. The phrase is, "Different strokes for different folks." I find it strange to see two syncs within 30 seconds of each other. Strange enough to post the video below...
"Synchronicity and coincidence are the same thing, only the individual bias over whether the relationship is meaningful or arbitrary changes."

Sync Book Fool Sync
Tonight I chose a tarot card at random. I got this:
My first thought was, "Cool, he looks like a super hero. Like Green Arrow. Or maybe even Loki. Even though Loki wasn't a "hero" per se." A few hours later, I'm reading Jake Kotze's chapter of 'The Sync Book' by Alan Abbadessa-Green and a smile appears on my face after I read the following words:
"In order to notice that one thing-event (situation, object or symbol) has an affinity to another, often means being "loose" with our associations. In a sense, to see and understand sync we must become fools--free from the limitations, but not the benefits, of mind."
Gotta love synchronicity.
If you haven't checked out Alan's book yet, I highly recommend it.

The Maiden Post
As far as the interweb is concerned, I am very new to the world of synchronicity and synchromysticism. I am still in the early stages of getting the basics down, as far as literature on the subject goes. Taking a note from Alan Abbadessa-Green, I am starting this blog as a diary for the strange events that are occurring in both my waking and sleeping life. So just to get things started, let me tell you all a little about myself.
My name is Dominic Risso. I am 25 years old, never had a serious job, and am finally becoming comfortable with that fact. I have been immersed in film and art for my entire life. My Mother tells me that when I was at the ripe age of 1, my favorite movies included 'Bambi' and 'Robocop'. I have two older brothers. As children, we would use the family camcorder to make our own movies. Usually spoofs of 'Rocky V', 'Home Alone', and 'Aliens'. Through out my childhood in to my teenage years, I continued to make short films and skits with my friends. I still make them to this day. I would say my ideas have progressed through out the years, but alas, I've never been paid in lieu of my film making skills. I probably wouldn't have it any other way.
When I was a freshman in high school, a strange thing began to occur. I started seeing the numbers 333 and 33, EVERYWHERE. Receipts, graffiti, football jerseys. I didn't know what to make of this and since I wasn't aware of the internet at that time, I had no way of figuring out what the hell was going on. I always thought of it as something bad. Like a curse or a warning. At one point, I honestly expected March 3rd, 2003 to be the date of my death. 3/3/3 came and went and after a few weeks from that date, the numbers started to recede.
Fast forward 7 years. After a brief stint in New Mexico, while trying to get my life in order, I moved back to my old stomping grounds of the California Central Valley. I moved in with my eldest brother. A person who has always been in to cool things like UFOs, conspiracies, mysticism, and anything esoteric. After living with him for a month or two, a delightful little surprise plopped in to my lap. 333 and his son, 33 graced me with their presence once again. Now I knew that it was time to figure out what this was all about. I simply googled, "Seeing 333 everywhere". To my joy, I discovered that maybe this wasn't a bad omen after all.
333 - This sign indicates that your Spirit Guides agree with your thoughts and feelings and could be interpreted as a Cosmic 'Yes!' to questions you have asked or ideas you may have.
After reading this and other information on the history of the number, I decided to embrace this strange happenstance with open arms. I began to think of myself as lucky. Perhaps something bigger than myself and maybe the entire universe was choosing to communicate with me.
I grew up in a Catholic household. I was forced to go to church every Sunday until I was 18 years old. Suffices to say, I stopped going on my 18th birthday. I hold no hard feelings toward the religion, I simply just didn't get it. I never felt what I was constantly told I was "supposed" to feel. From 18-25, I honestly didn't know if I believed in a higher power. It wasn't until this last year that I really started figuring out what I believed in. I'm happy to say that I have become a lot more spiritual than I ever was in the past. And to be honest, I feel right at home. I'm still on this personal journey toward self-discovery and I realize that it is a journey that never ends. But let me tell you, I'm diggin' the ride. I couldn't be happier, learning these new things that just click with me.
It was early 2011 that I began to watch Jake Kotze's amazing videos. I was introduced to synchronicity and synchromysticism for the first time, but to be honest, I felt as if I always knew what it was, I just didn't know what to call it until now. When I was a child, I was constantly coming up with ideas for films., whether they be simple synopses or full scripts. I was always confused/surprised to later discover that a film in Hollywood was being made with the exact same plot. If this were to happen today, I would either chalk it up to me reading about it on a movie site, and "forgetting", or more extensively, realizing that once an idea is formed, it is then part of this collective cloud of consciousness (333) that everyone has the ability to tap in to either subconsciously or unconsciously.
This thing called existence is a pretty bizarre carnival ride we're all on. I'm still trying to figure out my place in it all. I've always been a very joyful, easy-going, happy person, so I like to think that maybe my contribution to this world is to spread happiness like mayo on a slice of bread. And maybe even turn some people on to synchronicity in the process.
Like I said, this is starting off as a diary of these strange events, but who knows what will come out of it.
Only time will tell.
Enjoy 'Synchrotastic'.
