revelation.

the revelation came to me in a moment of cleaning, well procrastinating more like it. anyhow...do you remember the movie gattaca? one's life is pre-determined by one's genetic make-up. your occupation, your house, your wife...all of this can be read in a single strand of hair. i was thinking that this is what our modern day music playlists do to some extent. we read into the other person, determining compatibility of friendship/more, or just how "cool" is a person, based on the songs which they are or are not listening to at the current moment. what is in their itunes, or playing on their ipod, this is the main factor, and god forbid they don't even have an ipod! in the movie, irene takes a strand of hair from jerome to see if he is all that he is said to be (genetically speaking)...ashamed and guilty for reducing him to a single strand of dna, she offers her own strand of hair to him...i'll give you my playlist if you give me yours? hmmm...just something random to think about. as quoted from the movie, "there is no gene (in this case playlist) for the human spirit."
