Master of my own Destiny...once

I remember once I was sure I was in control of my life, more or less, anyway. I think, for the most part, I enjoyed that. After all, I could make my own decisions and not answer to anyone. That was pretty darn nifty. The problem is, now I have a girlfriend. Granted, I have for some time, but I am only now truly beginning to comprehend the truth: somewhere along the way in the past two years I got owned. And I don't mean in a sports-related way, either.




This occurred to me when she bought me a PSP. Now most of you are probably saying, "and this is a problem?" Most of the girls reading it (and Josh) will see the truth behind it. That wonderfully mystical device that I have many a time drooled over in the stores is now a rope tied behind around my neck, and it can either lead me or kill me.




Thus I come back to the point of my realization that I am no longer the master of my own Destiny. I realize now that in order to be with her-and I do want to be with her-I have to pretty much say goodbye to the life I have led thus far. Then again, I suppose there are perks to this. :-)
