So I've been a centrist all my life. And that last post was one of the few times where I forgot there is a middle path. Wow, I'd suck at being a part of any Eastern religion. Once again, there's the option of being a writer and still having a fun job that involves some work. Example: editor, Car and Driver.
Throughout my life I've had the feeling that I wouldn't get the extreme best thing but I'd be happy with where I wound up anyway. So far, it's held true. I don't see any reason why that'll stop - but before I settle I think I have to make one desperate run at the top and see how far I can get up the hill in the process.
