First of all, this makes my mind hurt a little...!
But then come thoughts of destiny, am I/was I destined to be who I am?
Or the old science fiction time travel premise of being the "same person" but in a different time and place.
I also think about these things when I vacation. I ponder what it would be like if I had grown up in this place. Granted, I am typically in a pleasant location. I rarely have these thoughts when in the "bad part of town" :)

I’ve had this thought related to race. If I was born a different race, I’m sure (or am I sure?) my life would be different.

Was just going to comment on all the garments in general. Things have changed!

What happened to Newsweek? It was at one time “cool” enough to be mentioned in Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard.
