Unpredictable

Driving down the highway a few months ago a song came on the radio. We were driving west on the interchange from Rt. 422 to I-480 when it came on. Why I remember that little detail and not faces I might never be able to tell.

But that's the truth.

"Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)"by Green Day 

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the roadTime grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to goSo make the best of this test, and don't ask whyIt's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mindHang it on a shelf in good health and good timeTattoos of memories and dead skin on trialFor what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.I hope you had the time of your life.

Like we learned watching Forrest Gump, life is like a box of chocolates. You don't know what you're going to get. Life, for better or worse, isn't like the Whitman's Samplers that provide the cheat sheet for what's where.Embrace the random. Embrace the fear. Embrace life.

'zactly why I want to run in Dakar one of these days. Fear. God knows I'm a scared little man. That doesn't (or at least shouldn't) cause me to stop doing things. Sometimes it does and I need a reminder.
