Doomed?

Last night when we had the tv on to watch the New Year's countdown happening in New York City, my uncle called and said when the countdown started from 10 seconds we should all lift up our right foot, and put it down when it hit one, to start the year off "on the right foot" Haha.  He said it was for good luck.  Well.  I had my right foot up with the rest of the family, but when I tried to put it down, I tripped over the edge of the rug and slid down against the chair on my side, with no feet on the ground unless you count the left, which was still barely touching. 
Today even though it was only about 25 degrees my brother, dad, and I decided to ride our bikes to the park.  Because it was so cold, the puddles on the ground were completely iced over.  This was how I found out that the front brake on my bike was out.
You can imagine how it went for me.  I think I might be cursed.
