No, I mean the things that don't seem critical or crucial until after you make the decision. Or until days or weeks or months or years later.
What if ...
... I would have stuck with my training regimen from ninth-grade football throughout high school when I moved to Guam? Could I have played at a big-time college program? Could I have made the pros?
... I didn't try to be the tough guy in front of my friends and had just let that insult slide? What if I had avoided that fight that fucked up my shoulder? How much pain and suffering would that have avoided?
... I had kissed her on the night of the dance instead of being afraid and just driving her home? Why didn't I ask her to be my girlfriend first?
... I would have ignored the woman I met online who turned out to be a total nutjob lying opportunistic greedy whore instead of hooking up with her for far too long?
... I would have met a certain person a year earlier? What if I had done more to make that work? What if I had made sure she visited me before him?
... I never had gone to the strip club that night? What if I had never offered her a place in my home? How much money would I still have left? LOL
... I had gone to the wedding?
... I had jumped in the pond that day in grade school? Would I have rescued him? Or would I have drowned too?
... my mom and I had left a couple hours earlier to pick up Pop? Would we have been on time to save him?
It really doesn't pay to think about these kinds of things too often or too deeply. But sometimes I do.
The early HNT from GUAM!
Yes, it's Wednesday for most of you. But for me it's almost Thursday. Enjoy!As if! LMAO
Random Guam Fact Of The Day:
• What if the ancient Chamorros would have slaughtered every European ship and explorer that set foot on Guam or any other Micronesian island?

I love yer naughty mind ... so in sync with mine at times ;)
aww ... poor baby ... *smoocherinos*
If I just click there...and scroll.
Oh, Dzer you are just a big tease.
I hope you have submited your picture to Em. LOL.
...and I wasn't all that greedy!!
Hmmm. DOZR. Hindsight is 20/50... do NOT ever look back sweet heart.
It is bad for the soul. Bad bad bad bad bad.
Overthinking, overanalyzing seperates the body from the mind.
Face forward and walk on into the great unknown without ever questioning what if.
On a serious note---I totally believe that you are where you're supposed to be. Everything happens for a reason, yada yada fricken yada. But you are so right- those little tiny decisions are really what maps out your life. What an interesting post! I love this.
Your HNT pic is priceless!
Great post. The what ifs in my life are plentiful as well, but what counts is that you survived past all of these things and turned out the way you did. An important thing to remember is that sometimes it's best to not regret a thing. Things happen for a reason.
<3 Jax
Inspired HNT pic. Definitely appeals to my British sense of humour, "me old mukka" (in best cock-aney accent.
You D man Dzer.
What if's.... I could get lost on that subject...
Happy early half nekkid thursday?! :)

What if we didn't have Dzer to entertain us?
Boring world without you. :-)
jenn: awww .. such a sweetie ... *smooches*
I agree with the rest of the posts. So many things can go wrong in life, but in the end, it's important to realize how great you have it right now. It's our experiences (whether good or bad) are what make us unique and special. And, that you are Dzer!
Just a question: How in the world did you take that picture?
amazinggrace: yes, I AM DZER! heh
and would you believe ... HNT elves? LOL
Nice shoes! Very shiny.
I try not to linger on the what-ifs, becsause there's nothing you can do about them, except try to live so that you don't wonder "what-if"
However, that was the thing I liked in that movie "Sliding Doors", I would love to see what would have happened if I had made certain decisions differently - just to see a glimsp, like watching a little movie.
I think we all have 'what if' moments...sometimes more than we care to admit to...lol
shay: thanks, I try to keep my shoes nice and bright ;)
and I really liked "Sliding Doors" and the way it did show how just one little, and seemingly insignificant, difference can result in a whole bunch of big differences :)
mike: that's too true ...
crscntmoon: nice one ... what if I never learned to use my tongue to lick and tease and taunt and pleasure a woman over and over and over again? ;)
Re: RGFOTD...well that's easy - we wouldn't be here today.
Having your belt at your ankles...that's a prerequisite for getting to truly know me. You gotta learn to walk with your pants down when you're around me.
oh so wonderful: ok ... that's scary! especially since I'm one of those guys who "goes commando" ... LMAO
