]]> To the rest of the world it seemed, it seems
Brandon was wasting his life chasing dreams.
And when he finally caught a dream one day,
It turned into butterflies that flittered away.
You see a dream is a dream only so long as it’s chased
And the rest of the world sighed, “Oh, what a waste!”
But over the sound of the world’s sad sighs,
Brandon cried happily, “That’s okay. I love butterflies!”

]]> Origin
One day I was feeling a little blue, so I thought maybe I could cheer myself up by passing along a happy little note to a random stranger. I scribbled a quick doodle with a sappy sentiment on a napkin and left it on a table in a Starbuck’s. I didn’t stick around to see if anyone picked it up or if it just ended up in the trash, but I felt a little better for having done it.

Finders Keepers
I’ve left lots of these notes in random places around town and have been lucky enough to have witnessed a few of them being found. Invariably, they grin. Then their eyes dart around the room looking for whoever left it. So far, I’ve not been caught in the act; it’s not a big secret, but only my friends who have seen them here or on Instagram know it’s me. So far.

Karma Points
So, that last statement wasn’t entirely accurate. A friend of mine showed the online notes to a business contact. He hired me for several freelance bits based largely upon that basis (my portfolio and its backups were unavailable due to a series of unfortunate events, the likes of which Lemony Snicket couldn’t have imagined). That’s karma for you.
