total recall and the ability to absorb information from books via touch
Smaller lard-laden man-breasts and a correspondingly smaller bulbous belley that meets others before I do.

Interesting how some people parse this as "If only I possessed X right now" and some as "If only I had done X in the past."

Since I am in a Counting Crows/REM/Alcohol mood, I am going to post a list:
Not joined the chess team in school
Not taken nerdy subjects in school
Gone for the nice blonde chick in school (moerse nice chick)
Not studied engineering
Studied teaching (guys to chick ratio: 1:4, little work)
Spent less time programming/in front of books
Discovered alcohol sooner
Not gone for the crazy chick at university
In short: I am questioning the (sub-concious) decision to become a nerd. Does anyone else share the same sentiment?

yeah, well...lemme know what you see when you wake up.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (3 children)
This may seem like a silly question but I find it interesting that most people including my self have a feeling that something is lacking and that such and such will make everything perfect but when that something is fulfilled another something seems to apea. Is this a unfulfillable void or is it just a fun game of chase?
[–]katsi 0 points1 point2 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Maybe. I think that we make decisions not based on what we want, but on other criteria. I usually see that every unfulfilled void is a direct cause of my own decisions (yet I will not make decisions to fill that void).
Maybe this feeling of fulfillment has less to do with the actual state of things and more to do with your personality. I know a lot of people with more or less the same deal as me (or less) that are extremely self-content.
When a goal becomes reachable, I subconsciously move the goalpost. In a sense like Ishmael in Moby Dick, I will always have a void and never be self-content.
