(Maybe if we could get back to religion stuff for a... have you... in terms of... do you know like people who have had premonitions, sort of feelings about or like a vision, something that’s going to happen)
Do I know people? um
(Or do you believe in that)
1 You know,
it’s really funny you should say that,
2 um, I never did,
because, you know being Catholic,
you’re not supposed to go to fortune tellers,
or know that
or think that
because only God knows,
so I never bothered,
3 and after my father passed away, back in 1997,
I worked with this woman who was a VP,
4 her sister was a graphic artist in Boston,
5 and she--but she was always telling me
her sister had this vision,
and she would go into a room,
and meditate,
and be able to see things,
and I would be like whatever,
6 well after my (uh-huh) father passed away
7 I kept dreaming of him and my girlfriend, no,
8 so I kept dreaming of him,
9 and I was like,
“Well that’s
cause he’s on my mind,”
10 But here my girlfriend one day, I saw her
11 and she says, “You know I dreamt of your father.”
12 So I thought why--why is this,
13 Like it made me really think
14 So I happened to be telling my--my friend at work,
15 and she goes, “let me mention it to my sister,”
l 6 and I say “No>”
17 but here she did it anyway
18 So her sister came back
19 and said, “um, well your father wants you.
I meditated it,
and I spoke with your father,
he wanted you,
he wanted me
to tell you how much he loved everybody
and he’s at a better place,
he’s, you know, blablabla,
20 and I’m like, “Yeah right.”
21but then she said—
but then she also said something about school.
22 Now at the time I had applied to go back to school.
23 Nobody knew in work.
24 Nobody knew,
25 and I hadn’--and I had gotten, had just gotten accepted
26 and--and she said, “Your father said,
‘you’re gonna do it,
you’re gonna finish,
you’re gonna do very well,’”
27 and I was like, I was just like <sound>,
28 like I didn’t know
what to say,
29 and she’s like looking at me,
30 and she says, “Well what does that mean?
Are you okay?”
cause I like-- I probably turned white
31 and I told her
32 and here I did finish
33 and I got--got almost a 4.0 average
when I graduated/
34 So, it was after that,
I kind of thought,
“Mm I don’t know,
maybe there is something to that,
that was very. . .”
(yeah, how can you, how can you sort of doubt something like that)
35 That’s what I mean,
36 After I heard that,
I was like,--I was just, -- I was just floored, really, really, yeah,
