Chain Reaction Paradigms

Right now, life is definitely on the up, despite the longing I have for some of my friends, but I’m sure that will pass after I tell myself that 3 months really is a short time. (okay, done) Even though I’m not sure where I may be going in life right now, it doesn’t really matter because I know that there is a reason for everything. It’s one of my pardigms, I suppose. The neat thing about it is that [I think] the events that happen in anyone’s life is significant to our development. For example, one day you randomly meet sometime, and you have a conversation with them. (e.g. that weird Appalchain Trail dude I met). I believe that subconsciously, I was impacted by this little meeting. I seldomly think about how different he is from me, but at the same time, it makes me realize how cool he actually was. I mean, this dude was getting a Physics degree and wanted to open a biscuit shop as his life goal. This just cracks me up, and I think it made an impact on who I could be, even though it was not that significant. He reaffirmed to me that you can be whoever you want to be. And I believe that everybody that we meet has an impact like this. All us can [probably] think back and remember people that we have met and how it impacted us. Another thing which is basically related is how we meet people to whom can be credited for introduciing us to other people. An example of mine is meeting Jenny, one of my friend’s who introduced me to Taryn, my best friend up at college . If it wouldn’t have been for meeting Jenny, there is no way (basiclaly) that I would’ve met Taryn (who by the way I can tell anything to). It may just be me, but I find this so fascinating how interpersonal relationships can be related to chain reactions. But that’s because I’m a nerd, and I like things like that. Enough philosophizing for now…it’s party time.

Courtney, I've heard it said that if you know seven people (which we all do), we are linked through our combined relationship linked to thousands of people ....

I was just talking about his last night! I wouldn't be doing my current show if I hadn't met the producer Liz at a staged reading directed by a woman named Jade. I wouldn't have met Jade if she hadn't seen that bizarre play about Hillary Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.
