    Well let me think about this for a minute.....when I was 17, that would be in the early 80's. Knowing what I know now, I would take a ride up to Columbia University and have a long talk with a student there named Barry Obama.

    Lol

    Im only 22, but wouldn't change a thing.

    Well, I probably wouldn't be here today because I would have insisted that the Marines send me to Vietnam like I joined to do instead of sending me to Millington, Tennessee to be trained in aviation electronics (none of which I remember now). Yeah, I know, I am crazy. I probably would have been killed.


    This is not my opinion but I have met many Vietnam vets. NONE of them had anything good to say about the time they spent over there.

    Aww hell, we all know there's no do-over.

    But if there was, I'd start by telling the people I've lost that I loved them twice as much as I did the first time.

    I'm sure we all have people we'd give anything just to talk to one more time.

    Other than that, maybe I'd warn LSU about hiring a future Head Coach named "Curley"....

    Used to go to the airshows there every year.

    Nothing....I believe that all of my life experiences has made me the person I am today. Good or bad, each and every one was needed to mold me into the person I am today.

    Wouldn't have let some service station mechanic change the oil pan gasket on my old '82 LTD Crown Victoria (in 1997). Had that not have happened the pick-up tube wouldn't have been bent and I would probably have had that car a whole lot longer.

    Knowing what I know today, I would administer an ass whipping to all these mass shooting assholes and probably break all their fingers with a hammer to prevent them from carrying out acts that morons use to justify eroding the rights of the law abiding citizens.

    I can honestly say I wouldn't change a damn thing, other than managing my money better. I have my family, we're doing good, definately better than a lot of people, and I'd be scared to lose that if I did change something.
