Man, this is a pretty weird one.
My roomate and I watch movies just about every night. Well, we get this "movie" called The Secret the other night on On Demand.
Turns out it's not really a movie, but a testimonial of a bunch of people (don't care if they're real or fake) telling stories of how the power of positive thinking has brought them wealth or happiness. It's awful. So, we turned it off ten minutes in.
Another one of our poker buddies who went to college with my roomate came up to visit this week and stay for three days. We joked about The Secret because we saw an advertisement for it. Turns out our other friend had seen it that previous weekend too- he turned it off 10 minutes in as well, couldn't take it.
A mutual friend of all of ours that we know through poker turned 21 on Wednesday. He went to Borgata to play the 2500 event on his birthday. After Day 1, he had a good stack, and we talked to him online and said we were all channeling "the secret," not expecting him to have a clue what we were talking about. He said: "The secret, wtf?..."
Turns out his mom gave him an audio tape of The Secret, which he listened to on his drive to Borgata... which he turned off ten minutes down the road.
Here's a link to the thing I'm talking about, just so you're not all too confused.
The Secret
Honestly, this is fken weird. Just very strange that we all turned it off, all watched it, when it's not really even a movie (best piece of advertising/trailor ever, btw). Had no interest in it and turned it off. Starkey was 100 miles south of us, and James was 1500 miles east.
Weird.
P.S. The Secret is the dumbest thing ever, please never watch it or pay any attention to it.
