Cursed!

So there I was a few hours ago, starting to write today's entry, where I was extolling the virtues of the England cricket team, and how it looked almost certain that they would manage to win a trophy, when I got sidetracked and cancelled it. Which I am now rather glad about. Because I would have had to write another entry very shortly afterwards totally contradicting myself and extolling the virtues of the West Indian cricket team, who, when it appeared that defeat was staring them in face, went and won.

The question is, did I curse the England team by writing that I thought they were going to win even though I never got around to sharing this thought with the world; or did I curse the England team by NOT sharing my thoughts with the world?

These kind of strange events are not uncommon. For example, today, if I had bought a lottery ticket, I may have won. But if I actually did buy a ticket, I probably wouldn't have won. If that makes sense. Luckily, these are not the sort of thoughts that keep me awake at night!
