Life Is About Choices

Life is about choices and the Butterfly Effect. I prefer calling it the Butterfly Effect Versus the Ripple Effect because Butterfly's are beautiful but powerful creatures and it just seems more apropos. Everyday you make choices. No matter how small or innocuous they seem, they can effect the outcome of the rest of your day. Like right now, I am making a dessert choice. A root beer float with chocolate ice cream or an ice cream sundae. That is the good thing about a dessert choice. There is no bad choice when it comes to dessert. By the way, I chose the Root Beer FloatThe same thing happens with your life choices but on a much larger and far reaching scale. Who do you go out with? Who do you marry? What college do you go to? (That answer is simple- Appalachian State University) What job do you take? When to change jobs? Do you decide to have children? And the list goes on and on. Some people seem to make the right choices almost every time and they lead that "Semi-Charmed Kind Of Life" (A Third Eye Blind reference). Other people seem to make choices by the seat of their pants and still come out smelling like a rose. I have a friend like that and sometimes it really pisses me off. Then there are the Charlie Brown types like myself that once in a while make a good choice but much more often my seat of the pants choice and the result turns into a combination of The Hindenberg and The Titanic and it crashes and burns or goes under in freezing waters. My Butterfly Effect resembles a kamikaze pilot going into a Navy Destroyer. Not too much of a far reaching effect but the results are much more immediate and damaging. The odds say I am bound to get it right sooner or later. Here is to much sooner.
