Is the word Serendipity?

It's kind of like how in the history books, you see Europe, all desperate to find a path to Asia for those sweet, sweet Asian goods (and inventions). They learned and thought about the world and tried their damnedest to just get there. They thought they were so damn clever after awhile and knew just about everything there was to know about getting to Asia. It was all Europe that about. Then they decided maybe it'd be cool to see the edge of the world. Oh, maybe we can get to the Orientals this way? Probably not, but let's see-- because the Orient is on the mind! They wait, while still trying to figure out how the fuck to get to the damn chinks. And they wait. And they wait.

Then, from nowhere, Europe discovers that there's a new, exciting place. The possibilities are endless here. And they just kind of fuck up their priorities and say, "Ohh, shiit. The fuck are we supposed to do now?"

That's the spot I'm in right now.
