Not What I Expected....

Life is weird as hell. I don't believe there is any possibility of it being preordained or planned. Everything happens too randomly. I do believe that actions now will create situations down the road, but it's not written as a script to my life. If there is a "God" and preordained life is true, then that dude has been busy as hell. Five and a half billion people on earth, and every second of their life has been planned and scheduled. Doesn't make sense to me.

Time to run out on a somewhat related tangent...
If everything was planned and set in stone, wouldn't it have been easier (and a better use of time management) to drop this situation in my lap 20 yrs ago? It would have been an easy assignment, pencil whip* it and turn it in. And the possibility of the good years that could have happened in that time far outweigh the possible negatives.

All of this just reminds me that life is nothing but randomness. It's all in how you handle it. I apparently handled it right and my past has, for once, rewarded me. There might be challenges, difficulties, and all that, but the randomness of the universe has turned in my favor. This time I plan to hang on for the ride instead of running away.

And if you don't believe in random weird possibilities, I had not spoken to or seen the one I'm talking about in probably 15 yrs or so. I'd call it fate, or The Plan, but I don't believe in that shit. I'll just call it Luck. But as with any lucky situation, you gotta watch it play out to see if it really is. So, we play it by ear from here. Let the chips fall....

*Pencil Whip: the act of avoiding any real work and just putting positive check marks for everything on the list and turning it in.

I'm done. Goodnight/Good Day/Go Away
