For the want of a....cup of coffee

[JerseyBoy]

i should have listened to myself and stopped at the quik check.

it didnt make all the difference in the world but i suppose it could have

because i didnt stop i continued onwards and a cop pulls out behind me...lights come on and he pulls me over for expired registration. I had been trying to sell the damn car and only running it to keep it in shape...my fault.

because of the ticket i had stop home and switch cars...amost home mr bunny rabbit hops right in front of me and i hit him. When i passed in the other car on the way back i saw him on the side of the road...i hated that...i felt so sad...now he is gone. if only i had stopped.

Years ago, on the last day of college, still donning my graduation robe i decided to check my mailbox one last time. I ran into an old friend who had graduated a term earlier.

"Come down to Maryland. Our company is looking for new programmers."

and so i did

sometimes i wonder what life would be like if I hadnt checked my mail. where would i be sitting right now? would I be happier? sadder? richer? sicker? dead?

it's silly to question the million choices we make in life every day but we all have life defining moments that set us east or west, to heaven or hell...

which did you choose?

and it makes me wonder...

and it makes me wonder...

i think about stuff like this all the time. usually about little decisions i've made. I just assume we end up where we're suppose to end up..in the long run. maybe just some roads are faster then others.

i screw around with thoughts of fate and destiny and get the feeling that the world is kind of like a river and no matter what you choose it will eventually bring back into the same stream and destination...

then again I might be reading too much steven king

Yes. It's called eco-system. No matter what you do, you die and returns to earth, enriching the soil where plants grow to photosynthesize. In turn, plants are either die and return to earth or eaten by herbivours. Omnivour and carnivour gets energy from herbivours. And so on and so forth, the cycle of matter and energy continues.

The past is useless except as a lesson in what not to do.

If you have learned your lessons, move on. There is nothing else there for you.

"What if I had" is a gargantuan waste of time.

The moral, Jersey Boy, is to NEVER deny yourself the rich, life's blood that is coffee.

But I'm really sorry about your day.

you are so right...never betray the black master (hmmm did that sound wrong or what)

thanks thou

i usually don't write about such stuff, it mostly circulates through my head disappearing and re-emerging from time to time...mostly at night when the thought train is more vunerable to derailments

You ever notice how when you're trying to sleep and something's bugging you, how you tell yourself to think of anything but that, but it's the only thing you can think of? What's that about?

And you're welcome.

*has a brief fantasy about submitting to the black master. Although mine's light with sugar, so it's the sweet, café au lait master, which sorta changes the whole tone of the fantasy*

That's why I don't think about the What If's any more...soo many possibilities.

Glad to be of service.=)

Oh, I dunno if I buy this thing of 'never think about the what-ifs'. I think about them all the time. Now, I don't mean that I sit around thinking "Oh, I should have done this or that." But just, every once in a while, I do like to think about how differently my life would have gone if I'd made different choices.

For example, if I had chosen to continue a pregnancy when I was 19, I would be the mother of a teenager now. I'd probably not have gotten to travel as I have. But, I'd probably have a pretty great kid.

If I had furthered my education, maybe I'd be earning more money. Or, maybe I'd have been making lots of money, and then got made redundant like some of my friends.

If my husband and I hadn't bought out house, we'd have saved ourselves lots of headaches. However, we also probably wouldn't have as high a net worth, since we got lucky and the area we bought in has skyrocketed in real estate value.

All of these things are not strictly positive or negative, they're all a bit of both. I think thinking about how the small and large choices I make can have great effect makes me appreciate my life that much more, and enables me to embrace the responsibilities and implications of my decisions without regret.

This must be an incredibly tough thing to deal with from time to time
