For me, better education. Should've paid more attention in school. Gone to college.

Maybe less drugs in the 60's and 70's. I said MAYBE. .

Stayed in better shape.

Take music more serious (play an instrument).

Marry a girl with bu-cu bucks. jk

Jimbo it's hard doing that. Now i've been back since they built the new highschool been there 3 years gonna be there all 4 of HS.

Now i'm back with all my bud's and babes. SO you know what they do, start bussing inner city kids out to the country. Monkey Central, on the other side of town, it's the Rough country school, met the inner city kids with clubs, the clan is still strong out there.

stroker, i like to think i got my head on straight. thanks. thank god it ain't the 70's i don't do drugs, don't drink(as much), don't dip. I've got it too good. gotta hot babe that takes care of me, makes sure i stay out of trouble, a nice truck, blessed to be in this country.

I'm never selling ole red. It won't happen i'd go hungry,have my girl leave me, be put in jail, before i ever sell her. Thankfully I live where i can do that, she understands that(she rolls around in her dad's bombed Cummins sometimes, she likes to tinker and work on stuff she understands me)

I'm planning on gettin my GPA up to atleast 3.5, i brought it up .6 last year i'm up to 3.2

Why is it all the fights i have happen in shop class? I got shot with a nail gun went in my arm came out my elbow(nothing a little super glue won't fix), So i pinned him to the ceiling with 16pen nails using a crowbar. Dang skrawny kids. All i heard was "let off me, man, come on fool, i ain't playin yo" My shop teacher just looked the other way for the 4 or 5 kids that actually wanted to take that class, he's awsome.

The school went down hill when the started bussin' them in.

I plan on having fun. But i'm not wild and wreckless.

Go to more romantic bonfires(lay off the drinks)

Oh and next to being more serious about the first 2 years of HS, i wished i would of brought an oil pressure guage with me when i bought my truck!!!

I would change very little, it has been a great ride. I was born in a time when opportunity was limitless, morals were important, honor was more than a word. I was involved with the very first computers and was privileged to work with some truly brilliant people. I married the right woman (45 years ago), raised two kids who are a constant source of pride and had a 32-year career that provided challenge, reward and satisfaction. During that time I had over 100 cars and eight motorcycles. I raced, I flew planes and I laughed a lot. Do it over? In a heartbeat. Change it? Not a chance.

Dono,man you were born in my time.... I wanted to grow up in the 50's it seemed so i don't know, right i guess like you said options were endless, all it took to be sucsessful was a little imagination and hard work. Not like that any more.

I'm with Dono -

There's very little I'd change. I think that the mistakes I've made and lessons I've learned are what have made me who I am today. I kinda like who I've turned out to be.

I would have taken advatange of some of the opportunities offered me. Couldn't see past the 'what's in it for them' factor. I learned the hard way, that just because someone has an agenda in offering you something, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is bad for you.


Ooh, I wouldn't have married my first wife(lots of cash, good looking, nuttier than a squirrel)
