When I started obsessively keeping track of the times the number 329 randomly popped up, I felt this number might be a sign or a message or an omen, from whom I have no idea. Therefore I began an existential compulsion to connect with the sender, even if it is simply that my own mind began to filter out all other three-digit numbers and only see this one.
I would scour the Internet for clues of the significance of this number. I never found any.
I had also hoped there would be other people as obsessed or haunted by this number as I was. I found out there were no other people that even contemplated this number.
I did wonder if the date had some significance. Who knows. Here's a list of some people born on March 29th (3/29). I only included the people whose names I recognized or felt were important. Therefore the politicians and religious leaders have been excluded.
Mort Drucker--Mad Magazine Illustrator
Perry Farrell--Lead singer of Jane's Addiction/Porno for Pyros/Satellite Party/Lallapalooza MC
Brendan Gleeson--Mad-Eye Moody (Harry Potter anyone?)
Eric Idle--Monty Python Comedian (“Nudge nudge, know what I mean, say no more”)
Christopher Lambert--Connor MacLeod in Highlander ("There can be only one!")
