In a recent post, Wil Wheaton talks about finding your Work and finding your Road. Here’s a snippet that really grabbed me.
My Road is paved with d20s and TRON DVDs and Atari 2600 games. It’s lit by the glow of TNG and BSG episodes and the soundtrack is by Vangelis. It’s patrolled by Rover and they sell Soylent Green in the rest stop vending machines. The speed limit is 42, but if you flash your Bavarian Illuminati card, you can use the FTL drive to make it to Milliways in time for dinner.
My Road isn’t quite the same as Wil’s (I prefer D10s, for instance), but there are some definite similarities. His post makes me think about where I’ve gone off of my Road and whether that’s a good or a bad thing. Going across the wilderness allows me to make a new path, after all, but there’s a reason that I’ve chosen the Road I’m on. It will be interesting to see where mine meanders in the future.
