what do i enjoy more: things that go right after careful thought, or on pure impulse?
after careful analysis, i should be able come up with a number of bad scenarios, and hence lessen the negative emotional impact when things go south. but since i can somewhat expect things (and they might appear to be more under my control), both the level of regret and enjoyment would seem to be on a smaller scale.
consequences of impulse seem to feel either damn good or damn bad.
of course, not that we can ever tell how things will go. when things go bad, i could have, would have, and should have.
