There's a universe where Windows 95 was delayed another few months and, rather than getting a support job just as my move to Seattle money ran out, I found myself back out on the streets. There's even a universe where Mitch Williams' pitch to Joe Carter in the '93 World Series was a fraction of an inch higher and he popped up at the end of Game 6. Lately I've been having a bit of an early mid life crisis. I've been thinking back on what could have been and what should have been. While I have been thinking back on the events that prevented me from living the life of luxury or being a powerful force for change in the world, I have forgotten to remember that it easily could have been me face down on Blanchard Street while someone else drove to the Hurricane to call 911.
Life is a chaotic system.
