Jeff's post yesterday got me thinking about three things. 1) Backpain sucks. 2)Jeff will watch any crap movie as long as he's got enough bourbon in him. 3) I sure wish I had a time-machine.
Since the first two things I thought about aren't really the best blog topics, I'm going with the third -- but before you say I'm just copying the words of a some drunk guy who's half out of his mind with physical pain, I will tell you that I want a time machine for one, very specific reason: do-overs. While I've done some good things in my life, I've also made some really stupid mistakes I wish I could take back -- from not telling off people I should have told off, to taking the wrong course pass/fail in college to passing up chances to travel or have adventures or see certain beloved relatives who are long since gone... from not trying hard enough professionally to trying too hard personally (my comment on Jeff's post being just one, albeit perfect example) -- not to mention various other missteps I've made through the ages, big and small, that could have been so easily avoided, hindsight being as maddeningly 20/20 as it is.
So today, I'd like to put the question out to you: If someone put you in that time-machine and gave you the chance for one do-over, would you take it? And, if so, what would you use it on?
A girl I loved in college asked me to drop out and go with her to Europe. I said no, I had to finish school.
Fuck yeah I'd do it different.

I would either opt for better teeth or to finish college at 21 instead of 50. David and I should change places.

I would've studied harder in school...lame, I know, but there it is.

Yes, I would take it and never marry. I would have made a career for myself and not be tied to anyone so wrapped up in themselves that they consider no one but themselves. His favorite saying to me was "I did not say I was always right, I said I was never wrong"?? so whats the difference. He thought he looked like Burt Reynolds..LOL, no way!!

I wouldn't waste my time trying to find a job right after college and instead go traveling around the UK and France. I still haven't been there but hope to rectify the UK part this year.
