X Marks The Spot

A well-known saying and usually revolving around treasure maps, or a designated point of interest. Marked with a mysterious X. Now, in these modern technological times, we have it being used as a brand and for various symbolism. A certain social media site changed its corporate name to it, and it’s mentioned here and there with projects and such.

X marks the spot – treasure maps and the location of something mysterious or of value. Like Indiana Jones finding the X in the library.

Project-X – 1987 film.

The X-Men films – mutant variations of humans

X – being one of our chromosomes. Double X specifically being for females.

X-Files – a series of strange occurrences.

X-Rays – a tool to look through objects.

Planet X – allegedly a planet that may exist but hasn’t been found.

X – denoting the roman numeral for the number ten. Also used as the X in the library as mentioned above.

As with some other wonderings, there might not be anything there to link together and is simply reaching. But the reoccurrence of seeing it, seems as though it’s a nagging thought, but one you can’t quite remember yet won’t leave you alone. Perhaps being another part of the smoke and mirrors, it seems relevant because that is its purpose. Rather than to reveal, it’s there to distract. As with much these days, but if the thought finds an avenue or a road to go down, I will follow it…
