77 Reasons

This blog is about my all-time favorite number. It is not 69 (no matter what my roommate believes), it is no longer 27 (my fave as a little kid because of preview days with Daffy Duck movie), and it is not 99 (approximately how many problems I have some days.) No it is a number that is God's number and it has been my favorite number since I was 18. 77! As some people may have noticed I am slightly obsessed with that number. Each time I recount in my mind "goofball sports", a routine I created when I was younger and still go through in my mind everyday, I am "Big Number 77". My blog number for this one: 77. My sister's birth year: 1977. My due date: 7-7-83. My email address: bigjesusdude77 (more of a hint for height in that one, as I am also 77 inches). My favorite number is 77 for all these reasons and more. It doesn't stop with the e-mail address: my Twitter handle is crazyI777- which I chose the extra 7 in there because 7 and 3 are both God's numbers, so 7 3 times should be triple lucky. My all-time favorite number is 77 also because I see a religious side to it too- 7 is God's number, so 77 is double as lucky. 77 is also the number of times Jesus said to forgive- though he meant 70 X 7 which is infinity. Symbolism is high also because I got my first free throws and my first foul in a long and industrious basketball career in 7th grade. I had my best at-bats wearing number 7 and some of my best basketball years wearing number 7. The amount of semesters in college, high school, and middle school is 69 not counting summer, which, oddly enough is 82 counting summer which take out high school summers it would be 77. All the things I've chosen to commit to there is a lot of symbolism as 77. My starting college weight was 177 and it's near that right now. 77 is my favorite number for this and many more reasons. And you may wonder what I've done to continue my end of the religious trend, which in my estimation is plenty. Even at home.
