Serendipity

Originally written September 5, 2005

Everything happens for a reason.

Nothing is random or chaotic. Events happen, change our lives, throw salt into the wound, or turn the status quo upside down because that's the way it was always going to happen. Fate? We got no control over that. All we can do is ride the surf out until we're beached like some misguided whale on the shore.

Its all about figuring out what your endgame is supposed to be. We may not know how the hell we are going to get there, but that ultimate goal, if you know what you are placed on this earth to do, you'll be able to weather the storm with some clarity. My eyes are wide open. I'll have the plush condo in a big city, pristine white walls and white furniture, a bathroom full of bath and body works products, and a nail gun in my kitchen. All right, so American Psycho isn't the best description of the endgame, but there is an idea of a Jay McLaughlin. And that is all that matters, getting there.
