You Can't Always Get What You Want

I find the way life can drop something right in front of you sometimes funny. If we are lucky, we realize what is staring us in the face and take advantage of it. However, we often realize just the moment too late. Or perhaps we think we see the opportunity, but it was not the one we thought it was. Or, you know, maybe sometimes it can be all three. Just a random thought for the night. Discuss.
