Just sitting here listening to some of the music that John Lennon made after he left the Beatles. I feel that it's a very fitting thing to do on the anniversary of his murder. Damn hard to believe it's been 42 years since. I can still remember my reaction the next morning when I got up for work and was told the news by my mother, Shocked didn't even begin to describe it............
Instead of a sign that says "Do Not Disturb" I need one that says "Already Disturbed Proceed With Caution."

Have you ever thought about how the tiniest little decisions can affect your life in a big way? Turning left instead of right, or saying yes instead of no, and something extremely significant happens as a result that wouldn't have happened otherwise. Looking back on my life, this has happened to me several times. I made a seemingly insignificant decision, one thing led to another, and my life wound up where it never would have been if I had not made that tiny insignificant decision.
It's kind of scary when you think about it. Because life is coming at you all the time, and you may be dodging bullets you aren't even aware of.

I made a seemingly insignificant decision, one thing led to another, and my life wound up where it never would have been if I had not made that tiny insignificant decision. A slighty-drunken, not deeply considered statement at a keg party some time after graduation: - led to relocation from Ohio to Florida - got me going to church again - made me a Jags fan - got me working at the place I've been with for over 20 years now - led me to my wife of 16 years That statement? "We should get married" to my then live-in gf, now my ex. I know, I'm a romantic. Related important insignificant (on its face) event, choosing to stay in FL after the divorce, even though every family and friend were in Ohio. This led to coworker/adoptive mom figure inviting me to attend her church, which led to meeting my new wife. I often wonder how the paths would branch if any of those events went a different way (like, if I moved back to OH, would I bounce from job to job, or find my calling? What if I never pursued a relationship with my ex in the first place?).

I've heard a lot of people say that. But in my life I really don't think it's true. I look back at things that felt like hard decisions at the time, but I still see myself ending up in the same place even if I made a different decision. And a lot of the things that people call big decisions, felt like no brainers at the time, that I can't imagine myself making any kind of different decision on those. Maybe I'm just too cautious in life. But I feel lucky and grateful.

Been buying some watercolor art work for my apartment.....
The Beatles...... Mr Jimmy Page...... And perhaps the Greatest frontman in the history of rock..... Freddy Mercury...... Instead of a sign that says "Do Not Disturb" I need one that says "Already Disturbed Proceed With Caution."

But I do believe that, in spite of the appearance that we are making these little life-altering decisions, ultimately, we don't actually have free will. I believe in causal determinism. So what I refer to as a "decision" in my post is actually a calculation which is made inevitable by preceding events and outside forces. So, your inevitable next question might be, why do I say that the idea, that little decisions lead to major outcomes, is scary, if these little decisions are inevitable and nothing else could have happened?

I was behind a Tesla at a red light yesterday. The driver stomped it on green and that thing took off like a dragster. It got really small really quick.
Since I used to live in Jax (and loved it) but I'm stuck up here in Maryland for now, I wanted something from Jax to put on my wall so........

I’m kinda surprised they had a photo of Jacksonville’s “skyline”. Compared to LA,NYC or Chi, the cost per building must be insane. |
