its Sunday morning in my home town. been going since 6am. streets so quiet, sun just coming up. went to a friends grave - aren't i too young for that??? - ran into an old girlfriend - she looks good - and been sitting in Tim's for an hour and a half now...don't recognize anyone really...not really looking to though. small town Ontario doesn't have much to offer really....just get through your day. a place to retire, it seems. nice place to pass through on a bike trip, but wouldn't want to still be living here. who wold i have become if i had...it would have been something heavy to get me to stay here...don't actually think there is anything that heavy...always needed more than this town could offer. don't know why though. everyone else stayed here. why did i need to get away? don't feel i was running away from something though...more running towards. accomplishment, money, excitement, money

the question was asked about it there such a thing as luck. good one but isn't it just circumstance, opportunity, preparation and of course the biggest one of all - timing. luck implies no control, destiny, a preplanned occurrence. is one really lucky to be offered a job? they were at the right place at the right time (timing) and they were prepared (training, experience,etc). Finding 10 dollars - timing again and they were prepared (looking down). finding the love of your life...well people are as you make them, no? as you are ready to receive them. So does luck exist or is it just something that the romantics make up to justify or put meaning to, so that they can explain it in a way that makes them feel good.
