… is Hump Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

(1) What’s the theme song of your life? Explain & include lyrics. <\/b><\/p>\n

Hmmm. Some sort of an echo <\/a>in here …<\/p>\n

I chose “Moviola” (by John Barry) for a couple of reasons. It’s lush and lyric, swelling to almost the melodramatic while not quite reaching that over-the-top point. And we used it as the concluding music in our wedding video.<\/p>\n

No lyrics. I think I’ve used up all the words I need to.<\/p>\n

(2) When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up & why? <\/b><\/p>\n

Hmmm. Some sort of an echo <\/a>in here …<\/p>\n

(3) What do you think was the turning point in your life? <\/b><\/p>\n

The <\/i>turning point? Yeesh. I can think of several that would have led me to very different places than I am today.<\/p>\n

I’d have to say, off the top of my head, my divorce from Cheryl. While it wasn’t entirely my idea, it represented a major break from the direction my life had been going since high school — or, arguably, even before that. It was the most sudden, wrenching departure from my expectations of where my life was going that I have experienced (or hope to).<\/p>\n

(4) Do you think life is run by destiny or by your own will? Explain. <\/b><\/p>\n

I believe that we all have a course in our life that is known in advance by the Deity (and therefore, given the Deity’s omniscience and omnipotence, dictated thereby). I believe we all have free will to choose that course, and are held responsible for it. I believe that the inherent contradiction in those two beliefs constitutes a Mystery, possibly due to a lack of perspective, but certainly not within our current abilities to understand.<\/p>\n

If that strikes some as a cop-out, so be it. Too much scratching at the underlying metaphysics of the universe tends to lead to a lot of those sorts of apparent blind alleys. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
