As the savior descends upon the damned..

Hello.

Ever get that feeling you're being watched?

That eerie sense that some heavenly hand directs us all like pawns?

Well.

If I may quote the legendary Forrest Gump, 'I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floatin' around accidental-like on a breeze. But I, I think maybe it's both.'

Gump's got quite the idea. Why can't we decide our path and have a set destination as well? Surely a person can make their own decision, but can anyone escape fate? No one lives forever, we all die, no one can avoid that. But we all can make the journey our own. One man eats burgers, fries, drinks Cheerwine, God bless him, but another watches the caloric intake and runs every once in a while. They both die, but can we quantify or determine the quality of their lives? It's the life in your years, not the years in your life, a man once told me. So when life seems unfair, it's your own crutch. Seize everyday, make it your time, and you will live quite the life.

Balls.
