Reversi.

Half of me strives for greatness. I see myself surrounded by family, children, a wife.
I go to work every day, consistently working towards a better future not only for me but those around me.
I am happy. I am content. I go to church on sunday and lead a bible study group on wednesdays.
I worship with my eyes closed. I pray every night, and ask what God can do with me. How he can use me.
I keep my friends close. We laugh when we see our children play together.
We get together on holidays and birthdays. We go to the same church.
We eat barbeque in the summer. We cut down our christmas trees together.

Half of me strives for chaos. I see myself wandering aimlessly about the world.
I have little to no money to my name. And what money I get is gone before I can say "bad habit."
I am alone. I am never content. Wanderlust has completely taken over.
I stay in one place long enough to get what I need and then move on as soon as I start to get comfortable.
I have no real friends. My family's given up on me.
But I have seen the world. I have seen pain, I have seen heartache. I have seen it and learn to live with it.
The idea of being a father terrifies me, because a child would be like an anchor.
To a wife that would never feel fully appreciated.
I break into cars and houses. I don't steal anything. I just like to remind people that there is no such thing as static security. I get into fights on the subway with rich people in thousand dollar suits.

I dunno.
