It's probably me

Nothing ever goes the way you hope, or plan. Sometimes things go exactly the way you know they will go, yet still when they do it's a surprise. If your also like me, and do not believe our lives are controlled by fate, it can be a rough tumble down concrete stairs.

Recent days have brought me, more than what I feel I am due, amount of tumbles. If I'm to stay true to myself, I must believe that I have some control and can change things, or at least how they will go on from here. How I long for a life switch; a device like a light switch that would allow you to switch life off or on as you desire. I don't see this as something we couldn't have, in the beginning it took an act of God to bring light and I have 15 switches in my house that do just that with no effort at all. The rate it took to get here though is a little slow and by my calculations we will have a life switch 8 years after I die. This does me no good, and you can guess.

Maybe in my lifetime we will have a LiVo, much like a TiVo will allow us to replay events and offer a pause so we can grab another fudge round and not miss anything. Speaking of fudge rounds...

Amazing the effect chocolate can have on your soul. I think most women understand this, yet fewer men do. Guys, give it a go sometime, just reach for a special dark when... well whenever really.

Back to the topic at hand. No matter what's going on I still need to feel I have control. So as much as I hate to admit it, it's probably me.

Damn.
