So, I've been thinking (did you ever notice, that geeks start their sentences with "So,..." (actually I stole that from the amazing book "The New New Thing")), why is it, that things suddenly start happening?

Like, I've been divorced for over a year now (yes, a prenuptial agreement is a good idea), tried hard to find investors for my new startup (without any success), almost went broke, met a wickedly smart girl who new about Gödel, Frege and Peirce, found out she had a beautiful mind, got a day job with a company that runs a foreign exchange trading platform (yes it pays well, as it should, if you're maintaining the build of a 800 kloc Java monster), got really depressed, drank and smoked way too much.

Suddenly – things start to sync again.

There's this publishing empire, interested in acquiring my startup, my great-uncle, who I last met at the age of eleven, dies and I inherit a portfolio of patents, I meet this amazing women, beautiful and wickedly smart (wasn't it Timothy Leary who said "Intelligence is the ultimate aphrodisiac"?) and hey, life couldn't be better.

Finally today, after a long day at work, I met a friend at the bar and his blond flight attendant date tried to talk me out of my Lisp t-shirt. – I confess, I was tempted for a split second.

I'm just wondering, what the fuck is going on? Or like Robert Anton Wilson used to say: "If you think you know what's going on, you're probably full of shit!".
