Well, after trying, in vain, to pronounce the name of this thread, I decided to come in and see what was on your mind. LOL Ok... here goes.
Do you ever wonder what the reasons of your existance are?
All the time. Sometimes I think I'm here to serve as an example of what NOT to do with your life.

Do you ever wonder what the world would be like if you didn't exist?
All the time, again. I work overnights a couple few times a month and will go out and stare at the stars, sometimes talking to the Lord..or myself (whichever you prefer) and wonder how in all this huge creation we could have become what we are and where we are. And wondering if someone else is staring back up at the stars at me, wondering the same.

Do you ever wonder what your life would be like if you didn't make the decisions that you made, good or bad?
Yup..all the time.(You were expecting something different?) But I figure if I could go back to do it over again, I'd forget I was ever here now... and then make all the same sad mistakes all over again.

10, 20, 30 years ago, did you expect to be where your at now?
yup... completely ... sealed my fate long ago.

Where do you think you will be in another 10, 20, 30 years?
Ashes ... blowing in the wind. If I make it through another two years, I'll consider every day after my next birthday to be a gift from God. My dad died at age 55, my mom was about 67 or 68....something like that, so... with luck I may make it in between someplace.

to sum up my entire feeling about this is pretty basic every descision right or wrong that I have made or has been made for me has been required to get me were I am now, so none of them could possibly been wrong or I wouldn't be were I am, and considering that I am pretty happy with my life, and my wife they must have all been good descissions. It may not have felt like it at the time and some things in my life have really hurt but in the end they bring you were you are.

<HR style="COLOR: #666666" SIZE=1> Do you ever wonder what the reasons of your existance are?
I can't answer this without it being considered "religious".

Do you ever wonder what the world would be like if you didn't exist?
No. Not really. It's crossed my mind a few times after watching "It's a Wonderful Life", but I've not dwelled on it very long. I figure Clarence would be able to get done with me in about five minutes, if that long. (At this rate I'll never get my wings!)

Do you ever wonder what your life would be like if you didn't make the decisions that you made, good or bad?
Yeah. This one I've spent a ton of time on. I'll be working away on something and start thinking about it and before long I can be in a real funk. I have a fantastic life, but every once in a while I wonder how much better it could have been if only I had...

10, 20, 30 years ago, did you expect to be where your at now?
No. Some of the facts of my life, yeah, but others an absolute no. 10 years ago, I was hoping to find a different job than the one I had at the factory. We'd just moved into a new house (and we still live there.) I have a better job now, but no other major changes that I had any control over. I'm coming up on my 20 year high school grad anniversary. 20 years ago, I wasn't sure where I was going, but I just knew I wouldn't be back in this little podunk town. 30 years ago I lived in Indiana. I had no reason to believe we'd move away from the county we lived in. And I really didn't have any goals, except I wanted to drive a pick-up and have a mustache.

Where do you think you will be in another 10, 20, 30 years?
No idea. Trying to plan a little better. But many things are beyond our control.

The thought will always be in my mind but now that it is Winter in the Frozen Tundra I don't think so.

I thought the title will catch some attention!!!

I was actually a little depressed when I posted this thread. This time a year has alot of bad memories for me that I can't help but think about from time to time.

That sucks man I hear you on the bad memories on certain times of the year, try not to let it get ya down though, one thing I have realized throughout life, is memories can be forgotten if you want them too.

A little pointles game I like to play at times when I'm waiting in line \ waiting on someone\ bored out of my skull... is to pull some change out of my pocket, first date you read think about what you would do differently if you had the chance to go back while retaining all you know now. There's always a ton of changes I can think of at first but they all would have altered the kids I have or the woman I'm married to-so I think I would do all the same stupid crap and make the same bad decisions so I would end up exactly where I am now.
