damn, man. my name begins with J and i'm only 24. what are you trying to say here?

i don't use drugs though, so maybe i have a fighting chance.

kurt cobain was 27.

this is a thought but..uh maybe drugs are the reason why those didnt make it past 30...you know drugs kill..

weepingwall said:

no but i mean why 27? i mean why not 20, 19, 26? y;know, why 27???

and besides.. billie holliday was like 42 or somethin when she died. chris farley was in his 30's i think.

i think deaths got a conspiracy goin on!



yea maybe...do ya eat pork? the pig is tasty, but he's a silent killa!

It's strange - to me the "death number" is 36 ... Marilyn Monroe, Princess Di, one of my friends.

I always thought it was something to do with the third age - ages being in 12-year cycles and 36 being the third age, where people incarnate on the understanding that if they've accomplished what they need to by a certain age they can go back.

Numerology-wise, both 36 (3+6) and 27 (2+7) condense down to the same number = 9.

9, apparently, is the number of spiritual and mental achievement.

I may be a little wacky but I do believe in the power of numbers.

It's funny... I was just thinking about that today, as I'm 27. I don't believe the death thing is due to any supernatural causes, but still, it'll be nice to make it to my next birthday.

Jimi didnt die from an overdose first of all.

As I heard the number of Dead is: 48.

what did he die of?

He mixed alcohol and sleeping pills. It's still drug related. But's it's not the age. All of the people you mentioned were drug users. Accident's are going to happen.

my birthday falls on the 27th

If you take my birthday and add the number of months in a year and then subtract the amount of dwarves in Disney's first feature and then add the amount of fingers I have on my right hand you get 27!

Jimi died of Asphyxiation

if i was able to make it past 27, there's hope for anyone.

i remember it was a bleak year for me, but in retrospect, it wasn't as bad as i made it out to be at the time.

he's one of my all-time favorites...i love all the greenwich village art stars from that era - haring, scharf and basquiat were like a holy trinity to me when i was in high school.

I heard he suffocated in his own vomit because he was sedated by smack.....so it was more or less inflicted by drugs..... just not your typical OD.....
