Half-baked ideas have a stange way of taking on a life of their own, or perhaps even as far as making a life of their own. Offhand remarks lead to conversations, conversations lead to events, and before long, some daft formation of words has caused your life to spiral down a road that nobody encouraged you to go down. But after things become a bit clearer, one might come to the realization that just because their life has been dictated by some fuzzy adolescent conversation, it doesn’t make that life of any less worth than the path dictated by those whose lives are propelled by some vain delusion about the importance of being important. The road less traveled. Was all of this just some half baked attempt to realize the words Robert Frost has contributed to the pantheon of the cliched?
