Life (an excerpt..from something I'm making up right now)

Every had that experience when nothing is going right? And then all of a sudden, it just works. Well, life is nothing like that. It definitely seems like that, but most of the time, it's a result of a buildup of progress, which of course, in the hustle and bustle you don't notice AT ALL. Sometimes, we're so hyped up about the big picture that we fail to even care about the small things, the things that make it work. For example, take a football play. It's a Hail Mary pass, and the quarterback makes a magical throw to a wide receiver who enters the end zone with no one in sight. Sure, you might think that the quarterback was just amazing, and the wide receiver turned on his jets right after catching the ball. But what you didn't see was the amazing pass protection by the left tackle, the key block by the running back on the trailing safety, and that the tight end had set a perfect screen on the linebacker about to the tip the pass. In the life, it's always about the small things. Magic doesn't happen. Even with chemical reactions, which may seem instantaneous, have to go through steps. 

Why am I referencing this? Well, a combination of things. Today, I was working with Viewer, and it seemed like everything was chaotic. Stories weren't turned in, and editors were confused where their writers were. But, it seemed like in a second, everything was quiet. We had a majority of stories, and editors were busy editing. Now, this didn't happen in a second. No one waved their magic wand, and all of a sudden everything was in order. What involved was writers seeking out editors for help, editors looking for writers, and a gradual decrease from chaos to order. WE DEFEATED ENTROPY!! (All you chem people should be laughing now.)

Another thing that's making me write this is the fact that I'm listening to Taylor Swift, because I have nothing else better to stream on Spotify. Seriously, if you have suggestions, please comment. I'm getting bored. But, back to topic, with her songs, it's very sudden, and instantaneous. Sure, there is some buildup in her song content, but from what I'm listening, the buildup is almost nonexistent, and then all of sudden, we have a climax. While we would like to imagine that life is like that, unfortunately, it is nowhere near to that. Sorry, if I destroyed a few dreams back there. 

Again, comments are welcome. 

Now for your YouTube awesomeness for the day. 

She is awesome. I don't care much for Sam's voice, but Christina's is what makes this song amazing.
