deus ex machina
god as machine.being a communication major and lit minor, i would like to think that my opinions on movies and stories are informed. being someone who's had his taste of how life could get random, i used to think that i knew what was impossible. i watched stuff on tv, in the movies, and read short fiction or novels and I would be very particular when it comes to the plot's twists and turns. i was extremely privy to suspension of disbelief. "that doesn't happen in real life," I would say.
until deus himself sent me this message: "well guess what carl, they could happen in real life. in fact, they would happen in yours. you think you're screwed up, huh. wait till i'm done with you." thank you lord.
welcome to the season 2 of my post-college life. in the following episodes, you will understand through specific stories what the hell i am talking about. so far there's the career disaster, the beautiful boy who had no interest in riding on me but enjoyed riding my car, the curse of being the common close friend of a pair of lovers, and of course being "rich" in the third world.
god is watching us. i bet i am his favorite comedy series.
