Whether you decide to stay in the whole day & avoid every possible superstition or go out, have fun & see the possibilities of what today may bring you...it doesn't change the fact that Friday the 13th is today. After-all; for some people it brings them luck & for others...well you get this:

"Discuss odd news on Newsvine. Unlucky for some: Lightning strikes 13-year-old boy at 13:13 on Friday the 13th ..."

-----

Also, today brings the day that you usually see ...on TV... marathons of Friday the 13th horror films or any other horror film they decide to show today. Who doesn't love watching Jason Voorhees stalking poor innocent victims through a forest? Or maybe Freddy Krueger lurking in your dreams? Well if you're not a movie horror lover, I guess this would not be your cup of tea.

-----

Either way: Today is another date out of 365 days of the year, however you spend it is completely & totally up to you.
