Serendipity – When You Know

I was thinking about his movie today. Seems like sometimes things just won’t leave my head no matter how hard I try. I guess that’s life’s little way of making sure you stay “grounded”.

Facebook put me in touch with a person from my very far past. They reminded me of a person who was once special in my life who I thought I had lost to a drunk driver. Turns out a bitter and twisted Father lied to me to insure I never tried to reunite … sad.

This video montage from the footage of Serendipity just struck a cord.

Maybe the things that happen to us, good and bad, are meant to be and this whole concept of karma is crap. Maybe in time everything actually is exactly “as planned” by God …

Keep well, busy and happy …

Shawn

Tommy Wonder’s Cups & Balls

Today I spent the day in a book store with Hannah and Lori. Using my new glasses is quite a learning curve. All through the day I kept thinking of an old friend who left us too soon. Tommy was a brilliant magician and as you will see by the video … unique.

Card Hit Wonder Live: Justin Flom

I found this video on youtube of my friend, Justin Flom. Justin is recently married and starting to work cruise ships for Holland America. This particular video is of a card routine using the lyrics of the songs to create a really entertaining presentation.

I suggest you check out his other video too, as he is a super talented person who puts lots of thought into his presentations.

Cheers,

Shawn
