It's so incredibly mind numbing how something normally regarded as nothing is, more often than you would think, something.
If you think about it, which I do all the time, every single little thing that happens to us somehow or another will completely change our lives. I mean Hell, if it weren’t for some ancient south american taking a whiz in the amazon, I might not even be here right now! I know it seems silly and irrational, but anything could have prevented me from being alive at this very moment. Life is a mess, a jumbled mess of random happenings that somehow result in each and every one of us and all the history of the world. It’s an amazing thing that can make you feel entirely at the mercy, yet in complete control, of your own destiny. If you think about it, that is.
