Is it fate?

Do you ever wonder if fate is real? Lately I have heard people say, “this is my destiny” or “this is what I am meant to do”. I wonder sometimes what my fate is? Is it to invent something? Is it to become someone? Is it to love more? The reason I started to think about this lately is because of a pair of sunglasses and sandals.

Object One: My friend Britt had sunglasses that fell into the water and then into the muck. I of course felt bad and jumped into the muck but had no luck finding them. The next morning while looking under the dock Britt saw them and was able to pick them up out of the muck. Was it fate that Britt found those glasses…next week will she be wearing them and have a bug fly into her face but the glasses stop the bug from hitting her eye? Maybe!

Object Two: It all started because I was trying to bring a Jet Ski from one dock to another. I kept my sandals on my feet to run over to the other dock and then I didn’t want to get them wet so I put them on top of the Jet Ski. I had to wiggle the Jet Ski because it was beached on the sand. I finally got it free and took off. I went on a few rides and got off the Jet Ski and soon realized I did not have my sandals. I went back over to the other dock to look for them and found one floating in the water. After 15 min of looking for the other one I gave up. The next morning I was on the dock and I yelled out “shut the front door”. There was my sandal floating in the water 6 docks from where I had lost it. It is fate? Would I have been walking and cut my left big toe due to the lack of sandal. Maybe!

What role does fate play in your life? Do fate and destiny go hand in hand or are they two different things?

James Franco – Mother Ghost - 2002 – Skateboarder Guy

If I ever pick a new person I might start with movies where they appear for more then 10 min in the film. Mother Ghost stars Mark Thompson. The story is about his mother passing away and him being haunted by it and unable to move on with his life. He ends up calling into a radio station and talks to a popular psychiatrics who helps him realize things in his life that have been preventing him from moving forward. James Franco plays a skateboarder who Mark encounters on his way to the radio station. I think he asks for a smoke and gives him some cheap advice. It was a okay movie, had some funny parts and a overall good message. It was not a must see.
