AUTHOR: Interpret this how you will. I'm hoping for feedback, good or bad so roll with it, and enjoy.

You see, fate had a funny sense of humor. I mean, if it weren't for fate, irony would be practically nonexistent, right? Who else keeps pugs looking so damn unfortunate? And who else would have Bush's votes mysteriously wrongly counted? I mean, that big-eared Texan as the President of America? Hilarious. Oh, and it got even better when Bush was re-elected. Eight years under his reign would be like one long standing joke.

However, this time fate was determined. As if fate were a horse with blinders on, it could only see and move toward its intended destination.

Fate had a knack for pairing up soul mates. Who were you kidding? She was a higher being, a divine force. She could do anything she bloody well pleased to do. You don't exactly want to go messing with the one who could alter your destiny in a second, now, would you?

And I'm sure that you're familiar with fate's handiwork.

Without fate's intricate and elaborately woven plans, Anthony may have never met Cleopatra.

And who'd ever heard of Bonnie without Clyde ?

How about Romeo and Juliet? The classic love story, torn apart by their families' disapproval, the tragic deaths—so, maybe, their story was a little far-fetched, but you had to admit the drama sure caught your attention, eh? I mean, you just need to flash a little glitter for the audience to buy this gem. No wonder PR companies are making so much these days; isn't it their job to create glitz and glam for whatever the need may be?

Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal? Does that ring any bells? The famous Indian landmark, the Taj Mahal, perhaps? He built that extravagant and overly expensive building as a dedication to his late wife. That's gotta say something about their loving relationship.

Oh, not to mention fate's one true genius in setting up the most beloved couple in all of history—Ben & Jerry.

C'mon, it's undeniable that fate had a pretty impressive resume.Each distinguished couple was yet another notch in her belt, another plaque on her wall.

Well, okay, so maybe there have been a few mishaps down the road. So what if Anthony and Cleopatra were mercilessly slaughtered by hostile Romans and then had their decaying carcasses paraded around town?

And the whole Bonnie and Clyde habit of robbing banks was just a minor detail, really. I swear, their love was pure. And perhaps somewhat illegal.

And sure both Romeo and Juliet had both their lights snuffed out in the end, but it sure as hell made an absolutely incredible play. Fate would have to thank Shakespeare for his contributions on that one, though.

Well, Mumtaz died, too, but her loving husband, Shah Jahan, wouldn't have been inspired to build one of the greatest architectural pieces of the world otherwise. What's a little grief over his dead wife compared to creating the Taj Mahal? I'm sure Jahan mourned properly before diving into the construction finalizing the blueprint.

Oh, but I got you now! There is absolutely no wrong, nothing even remotely negative about the joined forces of Ben and Jerry. I've got three words for you, baby: gourmet ice cream. Enough said. All you pessimists out there can go suck it. Those two were bloody brilliant! Honestly, who would've thunk to combine walnuts and fudge chunks in banana ice cream? Or brownies and fudge in a deliciously rich chocolate ice cream?

Not to mention, even their packaging is perfect: 100 recyclable. Plus, they've vowed against inhumane treatments to their dairy cows: no chemical hormones whatsoever. All natural. All tasty. All good in my book. That what I'd like to call 'a match made in heaven.'

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I think I recall the angels singing when Ben had first met Jerry on that faithful, faithful day. C'mon, give it up, man. That was, without doubt, a work of pure genius. Pure culinary genius.

But fate is an honest being and because of that, she will 'fess up to her great mess up.

One more thing: Brad and Jen? America's golden couple? Fate was on hiatus when those two called it quits. So what if Brad was lusting after another woman, Angelina? Hey, fate has been devoting body, mind, and soul for this job; she needs a little break once in a while. Is that too much to ask? Gosh, you burn a candle at both ends and…

However, she can't deny one thing. No excuses—she was responsible for the joining of Yoko Ono and John Lennon. I mean, it seemed like a good idea at the time. And for all those disgruntled Beatles enthusiasts and audiophiles out there, fate would formally like to send her sincerest apologies. She claims it must've been some temporary lapse of insanity. Her psyche is currently under extensive evaluation.

What I'm trying to say is that fate was determined this time. Really, she had learned from her mistakes. Her goal was simple: unite Tristan Dugrey with Rory Gilmore. And if it all turned out according to fate's plan, the two of them would develop a relationship so epic, even Romeo and Juliet would be impressed.

Well, it certainly sounded simple enough.

tell me whatchya think. even if it's just a word, it fuels me to write.
