Earlier this week, I found out that one of my favorite bands, “The Avalances”
was playing at the Red Jacket on Friday.  “Oh my Gosh!  I’ve gotta get all
my friends together to partake in this grand musical concert.”  So, I squandered
up my friends “Lee”, John, Eric and Bill.  Part of the core gaming group
that gets together at either my or Bill’s parents house.

Anyway, most of the group meets at my house and we pile into my Saturn for a quick trip to “The Jacket“. 
We sit back and have a good time with some cheap drinks only to hear those
dreaded words, “The Avalanches will not be playing tonight.” 

NNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!  You people have no idea how much I’ve been waiting
for this.  How much I’ve been anticipating this!  How much effort into making
sure that my butt was inside the Red Jacket
so that I can get primo stage viewing for the only concert that I’ve ever
took an active role in organizing a group to go see!  Gahhhh!

Thankfully, I was with friends.  Not just any friends, but friends that
I KNOW that I will have a good time with…no matter where we are.  So, we
decided to go see “Signs“, the new M. Night Shyamalan
flick. (What’s cool is that he is a major character in the film.)  We showed
up 5 minutes before it started.  Which is very interesting, because a large
portion of the movie was about what type of person are you:

• Someone who believes that luck is just luck or
• Someone who believes that everything happens for a reason.

I, myself, am a person who believes that everything happens for a reason.  Now, I don’t know why the Avalanches
show was cancelled, but I admit that I had a GREAT time tonight.  And I also
believe that everything worked out so that we could see the very last showing
of “Signs” at Cinemark that night.

Now I don’t know if my belief is “The Truth”
or whatnot, but I do know that it gives me hope.  When things aren’t looking
so well, it’s good to believe that there’s some reason that it’s happening. 
Besides, I don’t think anyone knows “The Truth“,
therefore, you’re just making it up from your perspective.  Might as well
make up something that will forward you.  And believing that everything happens
for a reason does keep hope alive for me.

With that logic…you’re reading this for a reason.

Know why?  I don’t.  I just have faith that you are.
