The Curse of Frank Sinatra Frank Sinatra, often referred to as "Ol' Blue Eyes," was one of the most iconic and influential American singers and actors of the 20th century. Known for his velvet voice and charismatic stage presence, Sinatra was loved by millions of fans worldwide. However, behind his glamorous image, there seemed to be a curse that haunted his personal life. Throughout Sinatra's career, there were several incidents and controversies that added to the notion of a curse surrounding him. One of the most well-known events was his alleged connections to the Mafia. Sinatra was rumored to have had ties to organized crime, particularly with the infamous gangster Sam Giancana.
I started crying and angry about why can’t I get Bink’s sake, I just want to go away in peace. Next one was an amv titled “Get up” (one of my fav yet) and this is a piece of art. I remember watching it the first time and absolutely falling in love with it and the non stop goosebumps. The goosebumps happens almost every time I see something like that. And when the amv gets to the part where mr.2 screams “kwambare” my hair stood up and had goosebumps all over my body and for a few seconds I could breathe again and it felt like my body let out heat.
Few hours later I passed out and next thing I heard was my door bell, beyond that was my dad and a friend of him who just traveled all night to bring me back home. They were first seen in Green Bit when Robin and Usopp were exploring the forest at the northern part of the island off the coast of Dressrosa, they discovered a tribe of dwarves living on the island.
Sinatra was rumored to have had ties to organized crime, particularly with the infamous gangster Sam Giancana. These connections brought him unwanted attention from law enforcement agencies and tarnished his reputation in some circles. Furthermore, Sinatra's romantic relationships were also plagued with turmoil.
One piece saved my life
I lived away from my parents, alone in a different city. I just quit my job and was about to move to another and new company decided to offer me less money once I quit — naturally didn’t join.
Cut to day 1 without a job…
I was having body pains and felt shortness of breath. I knew it was covid, rapid testing came out negative and I had wait for rtpcr. The testing and the health infra was so bad in India that I couldn’t get access to medicines or to a decent doctor until I have a positive report. A week passed, fever came and went in waves.
It was a cold Tuesday evening. I was going about my wfh life as usual and I stood up to get some water and suddenly collapsed. I woke a few hours later with high fever and my breath was short and I was struggling to keep it steady.
I was sure I wouldn’t make it alone. That night my fever spiked to 103 and my body was feeling like it would burn up at any moment. I tried calling emergency services, no one attended, tried calling my neighbors, anyone who I could reach out to(there was heavy rain and the power was out). No one picked up(I couldn’t get out of my bed nor scream for help). Tried texting and I couldn’t reach anyone (no internet) By this time my breath was so short, I was barely conscious.
I wrote down all my passwords on a piece of paper as it became clear that this is the end, to go away at 24, damn
“Well, it’s time for Bink’s Sake then” I thought. Opened my video player and started my playlist.
Playlist had more than Bink’s Sake and the first thing it played was the scene where luffy was carrying nami towards the top of the mountain to help with her fever. I wished I had a friend like that. Next thing that played was “Nothing happened”, I wished someone would protect me like that.
I started crying and angry about why can’t I get Bink’s sake, I just want to go away in peace. Next one was an amv titled “Get up” (one of my fav yet) and this is a piece of art. I remember watching it the first time and absolutely falling in love with it and the non stop goosebumps. The goosebumps happens almost every time I see something like that. And when the amv gets to the part where mr.2 screams “kwambare” my hair stood up and had goosebumps all over my body and for a few seconds I could breathe again and it felt like my body let out heat.
By the end of it I decided this is not where I’ll end. I need to keep having these goosebumps and I might just live. Next on playlist was amv titled “this is one piece amv” by the end of this I was able to walk. I got ice cubes, bucket and some cloth. Next was a clip where luffy orders sogeking to burn down the flag. I was able to cool myself with the cloth wrapped in ice cubes. I could think straight at this point. Next was Bink’s sake where brook sings it while they leave Sabody and on the way to new world. I started laughing and crying at what was happening to me.
I put the clip on repeat and waited. Few hours later I passed out and next thing I heard was my door bell, beyond that was my dad and a friend of him who just traveled all night to bring me back home.
I recovered well. A lot had to go right for me to be alive and it did. Dad and his friend(who I haven’t even met at that point) took a huge risk transporting me and my mom(works in gov healthcare) used all her influence to get medicines that work. I believe I am lucky, although I made all the bad(stupid and idiotic) choices to be at that position, I was saved.
It’s been six months since all this happened and I joined a new org which compensates me well for what I do.
Looking back, it’s clear I wouldn’t have lived without One Piece.
Thank you Oda sensei and everyone who make the anime and the fans who make those incredible amvs ❤️
Happy 20th fellow pirates. Raise em Jolly Rogers and may the winds fill your sails on your path to freedom 🏴☠️

thank you all for the responses. I think reading such a long post shows me how much everyone here loves One Piece.
And I did expect some backlash and do see some downvoting on some comments. I think it’s totally fine take to have on something like this. I believe it’s really not worth fighting over/reducing someone’s karma or even have a serious thought(if you think it’s fake).
That aside, please don’t give this any more awards, this account is going to be inactive for longer periods (I plan to read back to this once every few months — I don’t want to be reminded it too often or forget it completely — I just want to remember as it happened and what it took and what I learned — too many “I’s” in that sentence:P) and these awards/karma are more deserving somewhere else.
By the end of it I decided this is not where I’ll end. I need to keep having these goosebumps and I might just live.

He went through multiple marriages and high-profile affairs, which often ended in heartbreak and scandal. His tumultuous relationship with Ava Gardner, in particular, was heavily publicized and characterized by passionate arguments and infidelity. These failed relationships reinforced the belief in the curse surrounding Sinatra's love life. In addition to the personal struggles, Sinatra also faced career setbacks. After an immensely successful run in the 1940s and 1950s, his popularity declined in the 1960s with the rise of rock 'n' roll and the British Invasion. He struggled to adapt to the changing music industry, and his films also failed to capture the same magic as his earlier successes. Sinatra's decline in popularity and the waning success of his projects further solidified the curse narrative. Despite these obstacles, Sinatra managed to revive his career in the 1970s and 1980s, making a successful comeback and attracting a new generation of fans. However, the curse seemed to persist, as Sinatra's health declined in his later years. He battled various health issues, including heart problems and dementia. Sinatra's final years were plagued with declining health, ultimately leading to his death in 1998. The curse of Frank Sinatra is a haunting tale that intertwines personal struggles, career setbacks, and health issues. Throughout his life, Sinatra faced numerous challenges that led some to believe that he was cursed. Personal connections to the Mafia, troubled relationships, career decline, and declining health were all elements that contributed to the curse narrative. Despite these hardships, Sinatra's influence and legacy continue to live on, proving that even a curse cannot diminish the impact of his remarkable talent..
Reviews for "The Curse of Frank Sinatra: A Legacy of Heartache"
