Destiny guy

Ok, so tell me if this is weird. The past few days or weeks, strange coincidences have been occurring around me. For instance, I was driving around one night and I was thinking, for some reason, about Obama's main speech writer, Jon Favreau (not the director/actor) and how it was cool that he is so young and so important, but that I hadn't really read much about him or how he got to the position he's in now. I thought that maybe a nice feature story was in order, but for all of my obsessive political readings, I hadn't come across anything of the sort. What do I know it, but the next day, I come across this article. Weird, I thought.

There was one other significant coincidence that happened just after that, but it's escaping me right now. But there were two today that continued the trend. I have never seen the Goonies until tonight, but earlier today, I was looking at law school message boards and someone's avatar picture thing was this guy Ok, I thought, that's a little creepy, I wonder what that guy is from. Not two hours later, as I sat down to watch the movie, I heard "Hey you guys!" come from the very mouth of the creature that had showed up in the message board a few hours earlier.

The last strange occurrence wasn't quite as crazy, but I had just had a passing thought about one of my friends from school - nothing very profound, but I don't talk to her too much or have any other reason to think of her that moment but for random chance. I go to check my facebook account and she sent me a message.

I guess the point of all of this is probably that I'm bored and am trying to piece together random bits as if there is some master plan or that I'm somehow dictating how the world works. If that's the case, then I should start thinking about more profound subjects than Obama's speechwriter or the guy from the Goonies. My thoughts will now focus on things like world peace, ending poverty, and marrying a sugar momma ;o)
