The Vehicle Switch Miracle

After much agony I have finally got my car insured. We, here in BC, have "aircare" which is a big bunch of cow-shit but in essence if your car is not environmentally friendly, you cannot insure it. I decided to begin driving my car because I'll be moving soon and will be returning my Jeep to my parents. My car sat in my driveway for two years.

The irony is, it should have been fixed last week. But unknown problem after unknown problem delayed it until today.

I went in and got it repaired, aircared, and insured, only to notice as I was driving into my driveway that the insurance on my Jeep expires at midnight tonight.

The Site-Selling Miracle

Yesterday night (or perhaps this morning) while I was half assleep contemplating my economic future I came to a near decision to sell one of my larger websites as I'm not interested in running it anymore. It's quite profitable but I feel like I'm anchored by it. I've received offers in the past but they were about a quarter of what I would be willing to negotiate on.

This is the first time I seriously contemplated selling it aggressively, however and although I didn't give it much thought afterwards I had definitely made a progressive decision.

Today, for the first time in the history of my career, I received an email from a legitimate advertising firm stating that they are seeking to negotiate in regards to the acquisition of the website. The interesting thing is they are an advertising firm and therefore will be able to adequately gauge the value of the site since 99% of the revenue earned on it is based in advertising.

What is significant is that you think you felt the touch of God.

The probability of those things happening to you like that are very slim, but still there, so we can't be too surprised.. (Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy cover this in an interesting way.)

The Best Timing Ever Miracle

Well, I gotta tell ya, I can relate. but when something like thishappens to me I usually just say something like, "What the fuck!?!?", or to that effect.

It happens a lot of the time. Here is one that happend a few days ago, i thought it was kinda funny.

My dad stopped paying all bills and expenses about a year and a half ago and I was forced to move out. After a year of extreme hardship and troubles, 3 weeks before I graduate, or am supposed to anyway, from High School, my dad gets a job paying more than any otehr job he has ever had. Good timing, huh?

Yep.. Go God. He has the best plan ever...
