If you could start your life over again, what would you do differently?

 

I would have been a better role model to my siblings. And I NEVER would have started smoking cigarettes.

 

I'm too young to have screwed up yet. lol

But seriously i'd take my first two years of HS more seriously. I'm gonna be a senior next year and i'm still making up for it.

Woulda made straight A's in high school (and before) and would have stayed in college...

...But...
If I were to go back and change it, I wouldn't have a great wife (at least not the one I have now), nor would I have the great kids I have. I wouldn't trade my memories and experiences for anything.

 

Be Better in school, got out of college quicker and little things here and there, but I feel that if you did not go through the expenses you would not be the person you are today. IMHO

 

yeah, i look back, made mistakes (who didn't right??) but for what i have happening right now, i wouldn't change it. start the fire academy in 3 weeks for a career, got a prety gal whose god to me and i'm good to her (too bad she's going back to oregon for a while...), my truck is paid off, get along well with my family, got my few best friends, its all good. i don't think i'd change anyhting for my experiances i've had so far.

 

Do better in high school and also have more fun while in school with all those people.

I would have started my 401k 10 years earlier.

 

Stayed single, banked a pile of money, done some serious shopping around before buying a house, bought a lot more tools!

 

well, i just graduated high school and ive gotta agree with everybody else, i wouldnt really change anything cause everything has made me who i am today. i messed around my first 2 years in high school and i didnt get into my top colleges but i really dont care. i picked a school that i think is gonna be perfect and if i had gotten straight a's through high school i may be doin something else this august!

prolly wouldnt have been such a little crap head. i got into trouble k-7, it got me labeled, but ive tried chaning that around but it doesnt help. especially when you get labeled a trouble maker by a bi-polar science teacher!

 

I would have listened more to to the important people in my life.

I would have listened to my previous boss. He said, "Buy land, young man. God isn't making any more of it!"

I wish that I had listened to him!

I wouldn't have married my first wife!!

 

I would have listened more (and paid more attention) to the important people in my life.

Id beat-up everyone who ever messed with me in school. I put up with peoples' BS for far too long, if I could do it all over again I wouldnt put up with that.
Id also work hard to get good grades in school. I just kind of cruised through school, getting the bare minimum grades to graduate. It would be interesting to see how life would have been different had I done it different.

i would bang more chicks

i would have kept my camaro

i would have beat the crap out of more people when i was 17 and could get away with stuff like that.

part of me was bored and depressed this weekend and i was thinking what it would be like to join the american army and go to iraq and kick some ****ing ***. they are taking guys at my age (30). but what are the odds of finding cold beer and a hot date in the middle east?

 

Hey i can relate. I'm a nice guy but i don't put up with people talking about me. I had it rough in middle school. I was one of about 10 country boys and the closest school was in the Ghetto, guess what. I learned how to fight.

Now i'm big enough people don't mess with me. Although every year there are 4 or 5 that want to try me. I usually get off the hook at school with the self defense part, it starts that way, then they need to defend themselves.

I kicked a punks knee in sideways when he told my girl he would be getting some of that tonight. Then i smashed his face into the fountain, then he found my size 14 Caterpillar boots kicking his face in.

I didn't get in trouble, just a day suspended, i'll gladly take that to defend her honor. He got sent to alternative school.

I feel for those guys in Iraq, my Gf's dad just went back for 8 months. it must get mighty lonely

My senior year is comming up, and i'm gonna have some fun, but still be sensable, get good grades, still be me, but have some more fun!!!

But i'm a nice guy. I'm not an angry person, i don't like to fight, but sometimes you have to, and i just thank the Local Skool Systeim for my edyoukation in ebonics and fighting . I've found it useful. I just don't take any BS anymore, never really have. I'm just an old fashioned countryboy and there are just somethings you don't say about women. And if someone confronts me, angerly i have no prolbem setting them in place and carrying on my day.

I'm keeping my truck, chasing the girl around more, and getting better grades.

It'll be a fun year

Later
