So, last night my hard drive crashed. Fortunately, not my main iMac drive, but a new external that I had just finished copying over 300gb of pirated movies, legally owned movies, my edits, and some video editing videos, such as jumpbacks and the like. And that is now gone…poof. Like a mist on a summer’s morning…like cheesecake on my plate, like the blowing of the wind, my friend. Vanished.
But what is life? it is a vapor. What is man, but a fading flower of grass?
I counted, this is my fourth hard drive failure in four years. I can honestly say that I am not actually that angry. Annoyed that I spent money on this drive that is now unrecoverable. Annoyed at the hours spent compiling my movie library that are now lost. Annoyed. But not angry, not really upset. How can I be? Gosh, so some movies are deleted…big deal!
What is that compared to the sum of my existence? Honestly, barely worth blogging about, except for the fact that I am so unremarkably angry. God must really be changing me. Times were something like this would have me scowling for two weeks and barely able to form coherent sentences without the aid of extraneous explitives. Now, I am simply annoyed, and moving on with my life.
I can hardly believe it.
As the Oracle says, “Everything that has a beginning, has an end.”
Tru dat.
