Hi. This blog is a personal experiment, a place for me to share my writing. The most important thing I can gain from this site is feedback. If you have taken the time to read any of my stuff please take just a minute more to leave me some feedback. Honest feedback. If you think something is shite, let me know. If you think its brilliant, let me know. The whole purpose of this is project is to polish what I do, and to learn what I need to improve and what I need to learn. Fire away people.

Ripples
Every single thing you have done today has set in motion a veritable tidal wave of events. I mean everything. From paying a bill online to taking ten seconds too long to get the right change together in the shop. Your bill payment might have caused a little glitch in a batch run of software that ruins an engineer’s day and sends him home in a bad mood. Your extra ten seconds might stop someone leaving the shop and getting hit by a bus, stopping him ever having kids. One of his children might have even discovered the cure for cancer or something equally momentous.
Every. Single. Thing. You. Have. Done. Today.
It has started a whole cascade of events that you have no control over whatsoever.
Events that will bang around and echo from here until forever. Just think. Something you do today. No matter how small. No matter how insignificant. It is going to roll through history forever. Now don’t do anything stupid. You might not regret it, but someone, somewhere, a thousand years down the line might. But don’t let you ruin your day now. No Pressure.
Just get on with your day-to-day shit. It’s not tomorrow yet. It’s today. It’s always today. Fuck tomorrow until it gets here.
