we had the "if i knew then what i know now" conversation.

he waxed rhapsodic on the choices he would have made differently, the girls he would have stayed away from, the jobs he would have quit sooner, et al.

"I would have been so much happier," he said. "i wish more than anything that i knew back then what i've learned now."

jesus, i don't. i probably would have killed myself.
