The Butterfly Effect.

Getting my Bob Dylan mood going (June, 2008). Hot dang that's some hair do.

There are certain moments in life where we all inevitably start asking ourselves the bigger questions, like who am I, really? or, what’s the meaning of life? A lot of people think that changing the world is the logical answer to either of those questions, but I don’t think it is.

With every decision we make in life, we affect many people around us. The ripple effect, so to speak. So, by living our lives and doing the things we do, we in fact change the world. Hopefully for the better.

Five years ago I sent an email to a guy who’s photography I loved, and a friendship grew from that one email. four-or-so years ago I wrote a Flickr Message to a woman who’s photography I admired, and a friendship grew out of it. Three years ago I met her, and one year ago I joined the company she worked for.

I frequented a Starbucks close to work where I met some amazing people that I’m proud to know, and one in particular managed to change my life, perhaps more than she even knows.

When you take a look around, you’ll notice that you are changing the world. Perhaps not in the way you want (or think you want), but you are. You, and the people around you, probably don’t even notice it. Who would’ve thought life-changing things to happen when you buy a drink, or admire someone’s photography.

Short of your own, who’s life have you changed already?

His Desk.

I have two desks set up in a corner, and work behind one of them. The other is there for some extra things like paperwork, or just to extend my desk as an elbow rest really.

Every time I sit behind my computer to do some work or watch a movie or so, Forest always comes to sit next to me, on the second desk. It’s really his thing. Sometimes Gu-da tries it too, but often enough Forest makes sure she gets lost. But that’s ok, Gu-da has her own spots, too.
