11:11pm...Help I'm creeped out

I'm not one to believe in esp or the like, but for the past two weeks every time 11:11pm rolls around I happen to look at the clock. Now at first I just thought this was my subconscious influencing me to look at the clock, but it happens to any clock. The clock in my room, microwave, and pc are all set slightly off...by a 2 minutes or so yet I still look at them exactly at 11:11pm. This has happened to me in multiple places with different clocks. My mind can't be possibly be keeping time an telling me to look at these clocks. I did some research and apparently it happens to many people, but the explanations for why are unfounded. Has this happened to you?

For about a year, everytime I looked at the clock it seemed to be something:44.

Whats the big deal? The more you think of it, the more you will notice when it is 11:11. Its like when you get a new kind of car, and then see them all over the road.

This is funny, because I had a cousin who noticed the same thing. It seemed to him that every time he looked at a clock it was 11:11. He said on digital clocks it looked like claw marks. That seemed to me to be signifying the inhuman brutality of time. Needless to say that since that point, I notice 11:11 on clocks all the time. I probably see other times just as much, but they don't stand out to me, so I don't remember them. It's like when a friend of mine told me her superstition that if you get smoke in your eye, and it makes you tear up, that watever you just said was deeply profound. So now whenever I tear up from smoke in my eye, I think about what I just said, and try to see the profundity in the statement. It's just one of those silly things that stick with you.

Or it could be that those numbers signify something to you. Is there someone who passed on that might want to get your attention or let you know that they are still watching over you? Never experienced it myself but when watching John Edwards or Sylvia Browne that's the kind of shit they say?

It's probably because you see the clock subconciously out of the corner of your eye. You subconcious brain thinks "Oh, look! It's 11:11 again!" And you turn to look at the clock.

Your brain has an internal clock thats entirely accurate.
You've simply accessed your internal alarm function but you've done it subconsciously.
Now your conscious is trying to attribute meaning to how and why this has happened.
I can usually guess the time very accurately just by letting the internal knowledge flow.
Theres a tramp in the city near me that is almost famous for his ability to tell you the time, people that know him will ask when they walk by and he tells them the exact time without looking at anything to see. He just knows it by his internal clock.

a friend and I started noticing that weird stuff happens to us at 8:45 so for years we would make a big deal out of it until the first plane hit on 9/11 (8:45am depending who you ask) then we kinda stopped celebrating it.
a few years later we noticed it happening again, this time only when high at 1:11. It just seemed like something almost out of place would happen, and when it did we looked at a clock.

You are only remembering when you looked at the clock and it's 11:11...and not all the times you looked at the clock and it wasn't 11:11 
A little while ago, I noticed that I was quite often looking at the clock and seeing it was 9:11. For months this bothered me. Then I did a little experiment....
I made note of all the times during a single day that I checked the clock. I even included simple glances - like when you look over a scene and see a clock in that scene, even if you aren't looking directly at it (because you can still subconsciously read it).
On average...I noted the time around 20 times in a single day. Considering I noted the time was 9:11 on average about once every day or so, that puts it at 2.5-5% of the times that I had checked the time. Even just 5% doesn't seem like much.
5% rather seems like random chance to me.
If you can say that you only look at the clock once a day, honestly (and I find that hard to imagine in our world of clocks everywhere) then maybe there is something there.

ignoring synchronicities is foolish IMO
-------------------- Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage. He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time TRANSCEND

I look at the clock at 11:11 a lot too, it's just a weird time because that's the only time the clock shows all one number so I think I kind of internally try and see it. The same for 4:20, I can be playing a game on the computer and I always conveniently get bored and quit at 4:20 and notice the clock without even thinking about it. They're just times when somebody subconsciously thinks looking at the clock would be a good idea.
