The Carmen Electra Theory and its Downfall

Have you ever experienced that strange phenomenon known as deja vu ? It involves the feeling that you are seeing a situation or experience for a second time. As the situation unfolds to the observer they get the feeling that they have seen the situation all before perhaps in a dream or past experience. Its like a replay of a scene from your life or it could be just a strange coincidence where your mind has played a trick on you. I am sure that there has been a lot of research and psychological studies on deja vu because of its commonality in the human experience.
There is another strange phenomenon that exists and randomly repeats itself at different times in my life. I have had many coincidental incidents in my life when discussing a friend, or object from the past. Many times after describing a friend or acquaintance from my past I have "coincidentally" heard from them or ran into them within the following few days. My response is usually ... " hey we were just talking about you the other day ... funny that you just appeared after all these years."  When these situations happen the feeling is a combination of coincidence and mystery. I often wonder if my thoughts had actually caused the situation to happen. This is very similar to concepts involving the achievement of your goals and the visioning process as you imagine yourself achieving a personal goal. If you can visualize it in your mind then it is achievable. I am not aware of the name of this phenomenon that causes people from your past to appear in your life just days after you have discussed them but it is a real phenomenon.
I decided to experiment with the process and to create my own rules and expectations in order to understand and identify the intricacies of this entire process. I started by thinking of food such as chicken wings, spaghetti, and hoagie sandwiches. To my delight, a few days after pondering a plate full of chicken wings I was feasting on wings with good friends at the local saloon. I gradually discovered that the phenomenon does not work with too much concentrated effort. There needs to be a vacuum of randomness and equal percentages of chance for the experience to be unique. I wondered what would happen if I randomly discussed people that I wanted to meet in select conversations throughout the day. Sometimes these would be a friend from the past or an ex co-worker that disappeared from the social radar screen. The random success rate in these circumstances is much higher than would be expected. So now I have set my sights on
Carmen Electra:

My Carmen Electra theory had been formulated and must now be tested. If I systematically discussed Carmen Electra and envisioned her presence then there was a percentage of chance and randomness that would eventually cause her to cross my path. The theory has now been well documented and the testing has been initiated in many conversations to date. There have been no indications that the theory is reliable and has not yet been proven in any scientific journals or research. She also has not randomly appeared at my office or through a telephone call. For the sake of science, and my own personal quest to get published in the journals of unexplainable social phenomenon I continue my research hidden from the spotlights of mainstream academia.

In conclusion, the current downfall of the Carmen Electra theory is that I am still waiting for that eureka moment where I can say " Carmen, I can't believe that you are here as I was just talking about you the other day."  My experiments and research shall continue.
