2009R99 minutes

In this comedic fantasy, science has facilitated the search for a soul mate via biotechnological implants that count down to the moment one is supposed to meet his or her match. But Oona (Emma Caulfield) is worried: She's nearly 30, and her TiMER isn't ticking yet. Will her dream guy get snatched up by someone else?

This movie is hilarious but so true in so many ways.  After watching this movie, of course, I started thinking what if there were something like that.  To know when you'll meet your soul mate.  I mean to know the exact date to meet your soul mate does that mean you have a time line to be buck wild?  Would all your experiences of trying to find your soul mate mean nothing since you knew all along he wasn't your life time partner.  If that's the case then what's the point right, of discovering life?  Because I think a part of this journey of living life is the experience of love and sorrow.  I think it's the grain that makes us.  These experiences, others experiences, stories, sharing.....could go on forever on what makes the world go round.  To know what may happen tomorrow to be certain and a guarantee just takes away the essence of just being.  Is there even such thing as a soul mate?  I've had this question come across several times in through the years and the older I get and to answer that just makes think of the question differently and my though process is even deeper to look into.  Of course when I was younger lets say 21 I believed it, I figured it exist.  Then when I was in love with my boyfriend at the time I thought well of course it does I found him.  Oh how I was wrong but was I wrong?  At the time I vouched for it, even died for it if anyone contested me but now if you asked me today I couldn't tell you if the sky is blue without someone proving it to me.  I sound a bit cynical but now with the experiences I've had and what has helped me in the growth process.  I say growth because I can say I've gone past the realization that if I came across those "feelings" I went through when I was 18, 22, 24 I guess I can distinguish the difference a little more.  If I had the choose it all again and go back to what I know now, would it make a difference?  No it wouldn't.  I'm starting to think that time doesn't have a time line so these experiences I had at 21 wouldn't be no different than if I had it at 27 either way I was still affected and the impact makes me a part of who I am today.  Or whatever experience I haven't been through today, but may experience in several years will just be the added value of who I will become.  Hopefully by then I would like to be a more wiser person to say the least.  I do believe there is someone for everyone just finding that right partner is what makes life so exciting and miserable.  So back to this movie if you had the chance to know for sure the date of when you would find your soul mate would you want to know?
