11/11/11 is almost like an apocalypse. Numerology, which is the study of numbers, says that the number 11 is the master number and means a new beginning. It is amazing that this week, the day had come where once in a century, the rare 11/11/11 date has come. What is even more ironic is that 11:11 is considered the best time for wishing. So, on 11/11/11 at 11:11, everyone had the opportunity to believe in the power of 11:11 and make a wish.

Why 11/11/11? Why not 12/12/12 or 10/10/10? Well, one obvious reason is that 11/11/11 is composed of all 1's. The other reason is there is a lot of background history that follows 11/11/11. Also, 11 is considered an angelic number and if you see it often, you are considered angelic. There is a lot more history that if you really want to see a bunch of different theories, you must do more research. Nothing can be proved however. People just have to believe what is already out there.

Believing in all this depends. It depends whether or not you consider it true or not, or if it relates to your culture/religion. As for me, I am very superstitious but I, however only somewhat believe in the power of 11:11. If you'd really like to hear more about numerology, I suggest searching it on Google or clicking here to do so.

There happens to be a website that is very superstitious and believes highly in 11:11 that is found here. I've actually tried to make a wish and follow through with all the crazy tasks, but I could never believe in it. Before you go any further, let me tell you the website is a scam, I've looked over the website and found Google AdSense Advertisements, which is an application by Google to get money. Obviously, the creators made the page to scam people into using their website to make a "wish." and get themselves money. Also, if you look on the testimonials, they all say, "Wow! It really works!" and all that stuff you would like to hear. Honestly, they remove all of the negative comments and keep the positive ones. They also create their own that say positive things. There is a display on the page of how many wishes are left. A couple of months after I failed to complete my wishes, I check back to realize that the number of available wishes has gone up from 500 to 3,000! Do not be fooled by this website.

As of 11/11/11 also being Veterans Day, I also don't want to forget to thank all of our Veterans and current Military members for all of your service. Our freedoms wouldn't be the way they are without you :)

So, as always, my question to the readers for this week...

Do you believe in the power of 11:11?
