Roulette Wheel of Life
On my way to work yesterday a few cops went screaming by me along with an ambulance. I admit as selfish as this sounds I was a little annoyed that we all had to pull over and let them pass because I was running a little late for a meeting. They all stopped about a mile up ahead and as I got closer I could see there was a pretty bad accident where a truck had t-boned a car in the intersection.
An intersection I go through 6 times a days.
For the rest of the day I couldn't help thinking that life is a big roulette wheel. The metallic ball bouncing along its brine. Getting closer. Going slower. Eventually with enough spins it lands on your number like this truck landed on this car.

Wow, for the first thing I read this morning, this is a bit of a downer but it does make one think.

Very profound, Brian. You've hit upon one of the great truths of life.
On the positive side, if you had been on time for that meeting - you could have been in that intersection when the truck came through.
It's the Death Lottery my brother.
Definitely puts things in perspective.
Yup. Indeed.
That was a really intelligent comment, huh?
;) Glad it wasn't you.
another good reason to start riding your bike to work - come on man, join the club!!!
Randomness is a bitch isnt it?
I have never liked roulette. But for some reason this post was deep. I think I am going to make a new blog called posts that are deep. lol have a great day
