I sometimes laugh at myself when I see the "if only I knew the
future" moments.* I'm glad where I'm at now; alt-timeline Ken's
did that other stuff. 16 years old in 1988: Believed everybody
that told me "Video games are for kids and have NO FUTURE". Went
on early Internet instead.* No regrets here. 21 years old: Made
friends with an Indian guy at work whose dad owned a shoe
company that was transitioning into computers in India. It was
1993. It would've been a 5 year contract.* Two years before
Windows 95 and the mega-blast of the Internet over society
began.* At the time, it was just a nerd toy for ppl like me. No
regrets.* I knew once I went to India, I'd probably have lived a
very happy life, perhaps prosperous and successful but knew I
wouldn't come back. 10 years old: Special lessons for Julliard
music school. Told Mom "No, don't wanna".* She listened. Didn't
take the music route. No regrets.* I knew at 10 years old that
having to play what other people told me to would drive me mad
and it wasn't the lifestyle for me. Yeah, I've got tons.* Yet
regrets?* None so far.* They're just alternative Timelines -
other fictional me's are living them... and they're also doing
just fine and yet, all wish they were me :P
