I don't believe in destiny. I never have. To me the very romanticized notion that you're destined to find that one true love, or destine to succeed in life, works for the 10% of human beings who actually get that in their lives. Moreover, one can't tell me that a mother of three kids like my neighbor was destined to get breast cancer, or a 9 year old buy I grew up beside was destined to die of leukemia after a year's worth of struggle. No. Destiny means there is a God or some divine force, and that it is mercilessly discriminatory about who gets rewarded and who gets punished without discerning any moral criteria upon which such situations are bestowed.

What fuck am I rambling on about? Well, I told myself back in November of 2007 that 2008 would be a milestone year for me. That all the things I had been too afraid of or held back would be changed by my own hand. I placed every aspect of my life into commoditized units that I could measure progress against, each with a set of deliverables, the sum of which I thought would make me happy.

But through this Deliberate Manifestation of things I've become a helpless victim..no that's not the right word... recipient of joyous quirky circumstances bestowed upon me by Serendipity, if not providence. I am a happy man. A lucky man. And despite my own ego driven quest for success, I've come to realize that I really don't have too much to do with my own success. Don't get me wrong--I work very hard to obtain the things I want. But sometimes, things just fall into place and you end up counting your blessings, and lately, they've been too numerous to count.

You know... I think my life is a series of happy accidents right now.





Are any of you assholes feelin' me?

You realize we're in a recession right now, don't you?

I would disagree completely and say that you're happy and the "accidents" are happening cause you're in a place to see the opportunities for what they are and are willing to take them. You've done the work to get you to a place where you are accepting what you deserve.
And you do deserve it.

i spent some time really reflecting on your thoughts, and after a long journal entry and three cups of herbal tea, i came to the conclusion that this thread is a bunch of doodie.

I got to say it and it's hard for me
You got me cryin'
Like I thought I would never be
Love is believin' but you let me down
How can I love you when you ain't around
And I

Get to the morning and you never call
Love should be everything or not at all
And it don't matter what ever you do
I made a life out of lovin' you

Only to find any dream that I follow is dying
I'm cryin' in the rain
I could be searchin' my world
For a love everlasting
Feeling no pain
When will we meet again

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
Is it a lesson that I never knew
Gotta get out of the spell that I'm under
My love for you

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein' what you want me to be
Suddenly everything I ever wanted
Has passed me by
This world may end
Not you and I

My love is stronger than the universe
My soul is cryin' for you
And that can not be reversed
You made the rules and you could not see
You made a life out of hurtin' me

Out of my mind
I am held by the power of you love
Tell me when do we try
Or should we say goodbye

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein' what you want me to be
Suddenly everything I ever wanted
Has passed me by

Oh, why do you have to be a heartbreaker
Is it a lesson that I never knew
Suddenly everything I ever wanted
My love for you, oh

Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
When I was bein' what you want me to be
Suddenly everything I ever wanted
Has passed me by
