Devil's Advocate Much?

Do you ever wonder where you'd be in life if you'd have taken a different path? These foggy days in Monterey put me in a very introspective frame of mind and I'm not diggin' it. Dammit.

What if I had stayed in Mississippi?
What if I had gotten married to one of my exes?
What if I had never applied for the job at the Plaza?

I'm not regretting any of it...just...contemplative. Life is & has been at this strange crossroad. It just gets me thinking. I've never really been the person who thinks too much about the next step. I just feel that it's the right step and I do it. Maybe a little over-analyzing goes into it but, really, once I've made up my mind about someone or something it's pretty damn hard to get me to go in the other direction. Since I've be attempting to think things out a little more, it's getting me thinking about my other life choices. Did I make the right moves by just following my gut? So far...I think so.

Of course, music puts me in this frame of mind as well. Anyone for a little Jimmy Eat World on this day of introverted-ness?

"Well you're just across the street

Looks a mile to my feet
I want to go to you
Funny how I'm nervous still
I've always been the easy kill
I guess I always will

Could it be that everything goes 'round by chance?
Or only one way that it was always meant to be
You kill me, you always know the perfect thing to say
I know what I should do, but I just can't walk away

Oh God, please don't tell me this has been in vain
I need answers for what all the waiting I've done means
You kill me, you've got some nerve but you can't face your mistakes
I know what I should do, but I just can't turn away

Can someone please give me a life manual because...I'm a little confused. Thanks.
