There was once upon a time where I liked playing chess, and I didn't care if I sucked at it.  Not that I did, but I felt like I was adequate at it.

The concept of Chess is to get the king into a checkmate.  To do so, one has to scheme and plan each piece (pieces have a different purpose and move in various ways) so that it can do so.

Irony is, I love predicting the future, but there are so many things that could possibly happen, and while it is true that some of my hunches might be right, the chances of them happening are slim to none, since there might be that other scenario that I just never thought about, which totally changes the game.

For some reason unknown, I always think about the future or the past rather than the present.

A good example for this is that when I talk to most of my friends, I could not help but rehash old memories, because I have nothing else to think or talk about.  It makes me feel like I'm a bad friend because I'm only sticking to the past, and not looking to build up something new.  My basic thought on this is that I hope it doesn't take a jigsaw (referring to Saw, the fourth one?) game where my past has to be burnt, or something.

As for the future, I'm always concerned on the "what would", how could, and anything else that can fall between those lines.  For example, I'm thinking about the possibility of me getting behind at Camp Roberts because Mario forgot about me, or something else in general.

I think that if I had a chance for three wishes, one of them would be removing my habit of thinking too much.
