I've been reading a fascinating book in which historians try to imagine how world events might have been changed had one small event turned out differently. Like America without Nixon, Johnson and Kennedy.

So to turn it to Pixies, what little, trivial event, which turned your life around, good or bad, would you like to have turned out differently?

PashkinThePanther,

I must admit that I will always wonder how different my life would have been had I not changed my Major in college from Chemistry to Computer Science. I’m guessing that I would have married younger, not worked overseas...

That would be the “one change” for me.

I have wondered what would have happened had my family not moved from an area that offered me a great deal of opportunity to a very rural area that offered none, when I was 13. How would I have become a different person? Would I have acquired a better basic education? Would I have been able to go to college at a more reasonable age? So many questions...

I've moved around a lot and wonder what life would be like if I'd stayed in the Rockies. I was making good coin, had no debt and loved hiking, biking, canoeing, etc. What would have happened if I hadn't listened to my family who insisted I'd be better off with an education?

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed school but I don't enjoy the student loans and making less money now than I was 10 years ago.

I don't really look behind with regrets and will keep looking forward instead.

I was accepted to Boston University, Xavier & University of South Carolina...and went to school near home. Missed opportunities? Probably, but then if I was present for those, I would've missed the ones I got. Would my life be better or worse? Nah, just different.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

I would have not joined the army (especially EOD)--and then I would have stayed out of the reservs. Too many regrets there--have seen a lot of wonderful things in the world but balanced against that, the horrors and sufferings out weight the good.
