In what has transpired over the course of one's life, you would think that timing would be a detriment to that person's success. They realize that their time has not yet come though. The events leading up to that stage in life should in retrospect have always been taken for their joys instead of their sorrows. Had a person or event entered someone's life a month before they were to make a big decision, well, the decision would not be that big. However, this is the way the world spins. The moon is almost full tonight. A period is every 30 days or so. The tide is always high and low. The sun will always rise in the east. Fate and choice are intertwined. Black and white is mixed to gray. My time is yet to come. It's now time to climb Mount Everest. Time to land on the moon. Time to reflect and time to push forward. It really is all about timing.

Entering my new city today I saw that 99.9 was not just a radio station. The gas prices have risen to 99.9 and the decimal point will be moved soon. I will always be able to remember the day I saw the price as high as it could get with that decimal point position. My rental vehicle was only filled to the top line by the previous driver. After driving 8.1 kilometers, I saw it drop below the full gas tank line. More people are taking off from gas stations without paying then ever before. Although this all seems absurd based on my beliefs of the rising gas prices, I'm starting to think the higher prices could help out our environment and also put certain things in perspective for some people.
