The Road Not Taken...

Saturday night, everyone is out there clubbing & celebrating Halloween. I was tempted to go, tempted to ask if any of my friends were going... but then again, i thought twice and decided to stay home. It was a concious choice, so no complains... or maybe just a little... lolz. $20 per entry, plus the transport and all, well, it'll add up to my part time job's pay of 8 hours! 8 hours of toil ending in 3 hours of fun... I think i'd rather the money go into my bank account and then later into some investments. Suffer now and enjoy later, thats my motto! Besides, being vegetarian and not drinking, basically i'll not be enjoying the full course anyway. But yes... those are also my personal choice which i choose to stick with... I guess I have chosen to take "the road not taken," to take, "the one less travelled by..."

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverge in a yellow wood,
And sorry i could not travel both
And be one traveler, long i stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
On, I kepth the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads onto way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence;
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost [1916]
