Singularities

One of the debates I enjoy being party to revolves around whether or not a single effect is the result of a single cause. It is my humble opinion that most effects stem from multiple causes that blend to create the perfect environment for the singular effect. I am who and what I am due to numerous contributions of genetics, environments, intentional thoughts and behaviors, and a slew of random chaotic events. I can drop a bowling ball from the roof of my house and it WILL fall, but it will be influenced by a number of factors on the way down. If there is a person standing on the ground and that person is hit by the ball, the resulting pain is more than just the effect of my dropping the ball. Perhaps I told that person to stand there, evil one that I am, rather than them just happening to be there. Perhaps my intent was just to scare them, as they were trespassing in my yard, but wind speed and temperature and the ever so slight spin I gave the ball blended to deviate the downward course of the ball, thus resulting in the impact upon that person's cranium. I could go on, but I choose instead to go...on.

"One Room At a Time" is more than just a project to get rid of things and get the house cleaned up. There also exists an ulterior motive. You see, I have been known to be awake when the 'Tonight Show' airs, and I have seen the segments where Jay Leno discusses things that he and his staff found on eBay™. He has shown all manner of, uhm, interesting things, and while the intent was to make the audience laugh, one result was to make a new goal for some audience members. Like me, for example:

I currently have about 9 minutes and 37 seconds (plus or minus) of fame remaining, and would love to spend it being part of the 'Tonight Show' segment, or as a guest to explain and promote my project.
