Directed Destiny – Thank you Avid Studio

Joe Winett

Thank you, Avid Studio, for finally doing what you were supposed to do. And, I think it’s weird that you’ve come through today when I had Aptana, Photoshop, and a trillion Google Chrome windows open, and music playing. Obviously, memory is not your problem.

    • Joe Winett With my local circle of friends and family, there’s a strong belief in what I would call “directed destiny” where some introductions and delays happen for a reason. One of the best stories is of a family potentially being saved from a multi-car pileup on the freeway where there were many fatalities because of freak car trouble.

    • Joe Winett So, perhaps this disc needed to be delayed by a day because the person I need to find it will just happen to be walking into the office when the postal dude arrives with it. Otherwise, perhaps, his assistant would have thrown it away.

    • Joe Winett I’m thinking this because it makes absolutely no sense that Avid Studio crashed all day yesterday (like 15 crashes) and then worked the second time today, two times in a row, rendering more than 50,000 frames, twice, without a hiccup and all while I’m using the computer, and all its memory.

    • Joe Winett I know there are those among us that don’t believe we’re being assisted or directed from Places Unknown by Imaginary Friends, but in my experience this is certainly the case. The skeptical would say that I’m choosing to notice only the chance incidences that serve my wants and needs, but after the evidence piles up for a decade or so (and in some cases of my friends and family, all their lives) then you just have to chalk it up to more than chance. Then, suddenly, a safe feeling comes over you, a feeling I’m not going to throw away because the skeptical worship the scientific method.

    • Joe Winett Those of us that know God (or whomever, or whatever) exists, are completely baffled that the skeptical don’t see it, but please notice that few of us want to shove God down their throats.

    • Joe Winett Spiritual servitude just isn’t God’s way… Live like you want, He’ll make more. 🙂

    • Joe Winett Of course, it’s easy to type this today because things finally went the way I wanted them to go. I was certainly in a “screw this, God” mode yesterday. No one is perfect. Luckily, we’re not expected to be.

    • Joe Winett So, I slept a lot yesterday and then 12 hours over night… And was treated to weird dreams including one nightmare (which is odd for me), and one sex dream (which is even more rare).

    • Joe Winett TMI?

    • Joe Winett Even stranger, one of those dreams involved a person I know (which is like 1 dream in 1000), a person who is a sister of someone I knew a long time ago. Very strange. No, I’m not calling that person.

    • Joe Winett The nightmare involved my daughter and son. Dreaming about them is strangely rare. I wasn’t being allowed to speak to my daughter and spent a lot of time throwing a huge fit about it. Isn’t it nice that we can throw fits in our dreams and it’s enough, sparing us from the social impact of throwing fits in front of other people. ehehe

    • Joe Winett The very fact that I rarely get to dream about or get to do things in my dreams that I want to do, or that I *think* I need to do, makes me wonder about the source of dream in the first place. If dreams are simply the sleeping consciousness making sense of random impulses while the brain recharges, then I would think that our own psychology would make a bigger impact on those interpretations. So, I guess I’m saying that dream, at least in me, are a wrestling match between how I want to see reality for 15 minutes and how the root of all consciousness (i.e., God) wants me to experience it.

    • Joe Winett It might be that while we dream we’re most receptive to alternate reality because we don’t have our physical senses telling us which way is up.
