I told you so

An excerpt from my personal journal, in response to...well... everything:

October 7, 2008

Grab a bag of popcorn boys and girls, and watch the world unravel. Ready or not, here we go. Life happens. Once. Maybe. There’s no speeding up or slowing down. There are no do-overs, or command-z’s, or white out on the computer screen. LIFE HAPPENS. And what happens, is up to you. Mmmmm… to a point. I suppose the rest of the world has a bit of a say in what happens to you as well. We are all, after all, connected. Sewn together by infinite strands of the human condition, pulled taught by globalization, and put on display by planet earth’s environmental framework. So maybe what happens isn’t entirely up to you, but what you make of it certainly is – entirely – up – to – you.

I can’t help but think that the current downfall of the world’s economic markets is a giant “I told you so” from the universal intelligence source. I admit to being hugely undereducated on this subject, but perhaps – this is a form of justice being served. And I have to say, the chaos is amusing. I keep re-running the closing scene from Fight Club over in my head. Two crazies holding hands and watching skyscrapers collapse around them. A beautiful demise. A happy ending.
