As I sit here and think about how my weekend is going to pan out I start to daydream. I think about my commute to work every morning. Where as most in my pool suffer from the congestion of traffic, red lights, and police officers, I battle daily with the issues of bus, trolley and other forms of mass transits. Every morning brings on a new challenge-get to work to get my job done without seeing anything overly abnormal; but then again, who’s to define what normal is? My mp3 player is my ticket out. Not my ipod! my mp3 player a cheap 1gb player that is a mockery of todays technological advancements. But, it gets the job done. I Love the fact that I drown out everything that surrounds me. Some people say, “If it doesnt apply, then why ask why”? this is how I approach every morning as I pick up my $1.59 orange juice and banana from the local ampm which i dont eat until i get to work-to get the job done. Then the bus comes soaring down the hill. I squint my eyes to look for 2 spots: the light spot or the dark spot. If a dark spot arises, I can be sure that I will standing up the whole way to work to get the job done. I get upset but seranades from Floetry, Goapale, and others keep me motivated. I walk on turn my head and my mind goes into this slow motion as if my eyes were a slow shutter speed on a DSLR I start to mentally capture moments in my mind of hardship and failure going on in our city. For someone that works so hard – to get the job done – I find myself in the most difficult situations on getting that job done. I have dreams and then they come true. We call that deja vu. I say its our mind foreshawdowing whats alreadly written which brings me to this question..

Do you believe in destiny? Your comments are greatly appreciated

    No, I don’t believe in destiny as it’s generally described. The whole concept that something outside of yourself seals your fate is at best discouraging. Why do we work so hard if our future is already written? What would be the point? In some respects, I think life would be easier if all you had to do was wait for your destiny. I personally wouldn’t have had to struggle so hard if my life.

    I do believe we have a certain mindset developed by life experiences that pushes us in a particular choice of career and a particular type of lifestyle.

    These are some of my brief thoughts on destiny. What do you think?
