Sometimes I Wonder. . . .

December 30th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Sometimes I wonder what my life would’ve been like had I made different decisions. Do you ever think that way? If I had not gone to school, college, I mean, would I be the person I am today? I don’t know.

So I got a call from an old gaming bud of mine. Seems he wants to renew friendships and he wants some information about past campaigns. I don’t know wether or not I should call him back. He’s sort of the window to a former life, kind of thing. I don’t know.
