Life Matrixed Not The Movie

I was getting ready to watch the latest episode of Lost, and it occurred to me how obscure events are closely tied to one another over the course of time.  It really is something that things don't happen by accident.  There is meaning to things and people.  I will give you a perfect example.  Back in 1981, I met a rather strange individual named Cory.  He was one of these type that tried so hard to be the center of attention in everything that he did.  This also ran in his taste of music.  He was a huge fan of The Police in their early days before they made it huge.  Here is an example of this when they did "Roxanne" back in 1979. Here is a big hit of theirs "Every Breath You Take." I bring this up because in 1993 Sting opened up for the Grateful Dead at RFK Stadium in Washington D.C.  Jerry Garcia joined him during his performance.  If was to tell Cory that would happen way back then, he would probably say I was nuts.  This all reminds me of the movie "The Saragossa Manuscript" in which the details are fuzzy, but there is a payoff to a three hour movie in Polish. It is the most satisfying movie I have had every experienced.  It is really like a Grateful Dead concert.  Where is it going, I don't know, but I am willing to take the ride.  It also reminds me of the a saying that goes "life imitating art."  It goes to show you don't never know.  The lesson here is that when you think that you got it all figured out another layer is discovered or another connection is made that puts a whole new spin on it.  That is the Wow Factor.
