MJC: The Secret

I am pleased to state that MJC (friend and fellow ex-senior rep from
Syracuse) is back in NYC after a long, southern children's tour of
Pinocchio and is as lovely as ever.

MJC is a character -very fun, very comedic, and always is a bouncing ball of pleasure to hang out with.

He also is hard and fast proof of my life philosophy.

At Syracuse I was watching Big Love with Mel and Claire. An All State commercial come on. Plot: a wife backs over the foot of her husband in a car. He has to go to the hospital. All State is there.

I didn’t agree that getting your foot ran over by a car would result in a hospital visit. RE: weight distribution between all four tires, protection from the combination of rubber/air in tires/shoes. It was pretty clear everyone thought I was on crack. After a substantial argument I stated I was going to have MJC (who was coming to pick us up from Mel’s) run over my foot with his car to prove I was correct. After much more disagreement MJC arrived (who knew nothing of our “foot smashing” speak). We met him at his car. He thought everyone had gotten in. I did not. He pulled away. He RAN COMPLETELY OVER MY FOOT.

I had never spoken about getting my foot ran over nor had I gotten it ran over in the past. Both occurred that night 15 min apart.

I have always believed that one brings or manifests the type of life they want/need. I truly believe from the big picture- relationships, environment, etc- to the mundane- a foot incident- one controls every aspect of what they allow in their lives. I feel like every time my life is in flux it is such an important thing for me to stay aware of. I am where I am and doing what I’m doing because of the life I have created for myself. Oprah has now popularized this idea with The Secret. MJC proved it to me with a vehicle.

And no. No, it does not hurt to get your foot ran over by a car. Pressure, yes. All State? No.
