Do you ever feel like your life is a movie?  Or like the plot of a movie?  And no not a porn…well at least mine isn’t…I’ll keep working on that though.  But this weekend I had a few moments where I felt like the universe was playing a part in my life.  I ran into a college friend because another one ran past him chasing donuts.  While the donut chasing is a story in itself, I thought to myself what are the chances of that happening right at that moment?  My snackface friend running past him of all people?  Before she started running my back would have been turned and I wouldn’t have seen him at all.  No I haven’t been smoking weed or peyote but I do feel like there is a higher power out there right now working to make certain things happen.  Or at least make me notice something…

The next time the same thing happened, and if you ask me even more coincidental.  I was walking out of the afro punk festival (Pause here for a review:  it was a good time, I must admit I didn’t see many performers but I still enjoyed the vendors-shout out to goodteesbadtees, the attendees, and the overall atmosphere.  It was a chill groove on a beautiful weekend.  All in all, I will go back next year and try to pay more attention to the performances. ) and as we were walking out in the dark, we walked in a “s” shape across the field, stopped to help some random drag queens look for their cell phone for a minute, watched a little of TV on the radio and then kept it moving.  As soon as we got closer to the exit we run into another guy I know.  It felt like it was supposed to be.  There was nothing that was going to stop this run in from happening.

All of this got me to thinking, why were these run in’s supposed to happen?  Was I supposed to be connected to these folks at this point in my life?  Why did the universe make this happen?  And then it made me wonder what else had happened like this that I wasn’t paying attention to.  Or maybe I am reading too much into a random run in?  I don’t know.  I know it felt like a damn movie and I don’t often feel like I am living in a movie.

Let’s Discuss, does this happen to anyone else out there?  Or what do you think the universe is telling me?
