OH MY FUCKING GOD!!
I can't sleep, so I'm just wandering aimlessly on the net, and I just came across a quote of Rufus explaining about what inspired him to write the song "11:11"..
"There was a period in my life where every time I looked at the clock, it was 11:11. It was weird. And then there was September 11 and Flight 11 - it was time to buy a lottery ticket or write a song or something. So that one is very much centered around September 11. It's about how precious time is while you still have it.
I'm pretty sure I heard the explanation before, but I remembered him saying he woke up from time to time at 11:11. The thing is, for the longest time, I would look at watches, clocks and all sorts of computer screens and the likes, and I would see 22:22. I still do sometimes. It freaks me out every.fucking.time.
I have nothing else to say, 'cause my brain is fried. I just skipped about in front of the computer, when I read this, because - really... whoa. ::huge grin::
