Life Comes at You Fast
Today, I was driving to school listening to Akon on 103.9 FM. I was stopped at a light when a truck rear-ended me. Frustrated, I pulled over and the other driver did the same. We traded information and went on our way. When I returned to my humble abode after an otherwise uneventful day, I found a bit of mail for me. Jury duty. I look back at when I was registering to vote and wonder if I should have. McCain didn't win the election and now I may have to serve my country in one of the most boring ways. Is there a particular reason why Miss Fortune smiles on some, but grinds her heels into others? I was discussing the idea of Karma ( Why are they always women names?) with a close friend and determined that Karma (like many women) is far from even tempered. There are the days when you find a dirty twenty dollar bill in the gutter, and then there are the days when you can't seem to avoid getting killed. If there is a way to please you Miss Fortune, please call me. You know the number.

Fortune has a wheel, and all men and women are tied upon its spokes, and as the wheel turns they rise and fall until another takes their place. So the real question is, is fortune real? or do we control our own destiny through choice and consequence? Does Karma have a favorite, or is she just a Distributor of justice in the truest sense?
Robert, I think you should change the colors on your blog. I keep trying to read it but the black background and white lettering make my eyes go googly. :)
Man, you need to get your tail in college and get some of that armchair philosophy beat out of you...maybe squeeze some productivity from all that brain-power.
