Destiny

I am listening to Gang of Four right now.  The college I went to, I chose only because the drummer of Gang of Four taught there.  I didn’t like Gang of Four much at the time; they were not fast & aggressive enough to hook my ADD-riddled mind.  I sat in the intake and the woman I met with could tell I listened to Punk rock.  She asked me if I knew Gang of Four.  I said yes.  She told me the drummer taught here.  Right away I was onboard.  At this college is where I had met Andrew, who later became the guitarist of my old band, Lethal Erection.  I went to this college for three weeks before I dropped out.  Andrew went four.  It was only a mere detour in my life, but a very important detour because this is where I met my best friend.  I wonder about the choices we make, the reason we make these choices, our motivations and whatnot.  If that woman had never told me the drummer of Gang of Four taught there, I would have gone a different way.  My band had recently broken up and there was this Indian guy named Rohan who had answered my Craig’s List ad about needing a new guitarist.  Rohan and I hung out a bit; he took me to this party where artsy kids drank keg cups and talked about existentialism.  It was quite boring for me; I didn’t want to talk, I wanted to live—I wanted adventure excitement & romance.  Rohan showed me this band called Gang of Four but I didn’t really like them very much; but now I knew who they were and when I went to that intake, the woman asked me if I knew Gang of Four and I said yes and I chose to go to that school, where I met Andrew and we stuck together like glue….
