Let me clear my mind

Tonight I did the first thing fun in a while. I have been trying to recover from my sickness and taking it easy. After working for six and a half hours and working on my senior design project I saw the movie 300. I really liked it, but a couple of other things came out of it to. It reminded me of why I had thought about becoming a movie editor. If it hadn’t been for such a terrible experience with my first internship I could very easily be on a different career path. The more experience I get the more I realize that life is like a movie called, Run Lola Run. In that movie, minor changes in a moment of someone’s life dramatically changes the outcome of your life. I could have had an internship with any number of editing firms in Chicago, the reason I got the one I did was because my parents had dinner at a friends house. At that house there was a guy named Peter also there. Peter had worked with PostEffects and gave me the contact information of the people who worked there. If the company he had worked for had worked with another firm my career path could be radically different. In a way the effects of our decisions can be so random and guideless. What is the meaning than of our decisions, how do the decisions we deem significant (i.e. college, marriage, jobs, location) compare in importance to decisions we find less meaningful (i.e. should I watch one TV show or the other). I guess I will mull this one over and write more about it tomorrow.
