If you could go back in time, to any point in your life, and do something differently, be it a one-time decision, or an entire path, what would it be?
Or on the other hand, if there is one thing that you really want to do, be it a single decision, or a new path, what would it be?
I want to publish action/adventure novels. Fiction writing is just a hobby for me, and has been since I was a teenager, but the thousands of pages I've generated through the years remains in the forgotten corners of my hard-drive, and for many of the stories, the corners of my mind.
I hope to one day do this on a practical level--maybe not as a living, but at the very least in a way to reach an audience broader than my own sense of self-satisfaction.

I'd go back to the day that the daughter of the founder of home shopping channel sat in my partners and my office and said "daddy is going public tomorrow...you should join us"...and we said, "it will never work."
I also walked into hooters their very first day and told the 5 partners "I'm from buffalo..and I want to tell you that this will never work". One of them reminds me of that every time I see him.

I want to be a moderator, remove some existing posters and let some come back.

You should provide a partial list, just so that we can understand what sort of level you want to be operating on, as a moderator...

I don't think I'd change anything at all... not even the mistakes.

Ok, fair enough. No regrets is a good policy.
So what do you want to do that you haven't done yet?
-
Making mistakes are lessons that we learn from the most.
The only thing different I would have done is to visiit my grandfathers more often when they were alive. Once I turned 18, I never saw them again, except at their funerals.

I would go back to 1990 and not decline the offer to go on a date with a certain co-worker.
On the flip side, I would go back to 1994 and decline the offer to go on a date with a friend of a friend (and subsequently waste the next 18 months of my life).
-
If I could do it again, I'd definately delay going to college. Military, real work, something.
After 18 years of schooling, I'm about fed up with it and can't find any motivation to finish.

I told Orville and his nutball brother Wilbur that the damn thing will never fly....

If we ever hook up for a beer, remind me to tell you the story of 2 women, a college student from Kuwait, and me...

Well I've made more than my fair share of mistakes ... and if I had to do it over I would probably just make different ones ... and they might have turned out worse.
But if I could just change a single decision ... give me the 5 minutes from 9am to 9:05am EST March 14, 1986 ... I damn well know I could make a better decision than whatever one I made then.
-
Yes.
I'd go back to December 18, 1975 and inform my coach I was quitting wrestling, and never wrestle or play football again.
I'd go out and buy the best guitar I could get my hands on...and at the same time I would study my butt off for college.
Things would have turned out very differently.

I have plenty of regrets, but I'm still finding out where they're going to lead me. So I wouldn't change a thing.
Ask me again in a few decades :)
-
Nada.
Changing something even very minor could lead to me not seeing my wife by accident on the street in Toronto, after we had been broken up for a year and a half, about 2 weeks before I moved home.
That would mean no wife and none of my children with her.
So, I wouldn't change a darn thing.

I would definitely change my attitude towards my education and most definitely would not have given up playing Sports at a young age. Especially Baseball.

The day of Microsofts IPO.
I have no clue what I was doing or what decisions I made that day ... I do know buying MS stock was not one of them. ;)

I would have continued to follow my original dream and gone to West Point.
Those plans were abandoned after I took a good look at Viet Nam.
While the idea of going to war, fighting and possibly deing,or worse didnt bother me.
I determined I wasnt willing to do any of those things under a government that wasnt going to be serious about actually winning.
To some extent I still question its seriousness.
Seems to me too many decisions that should be made by the in theater commander are being made in Washington.
and entirely too much concern about "world opinion" and what is politically correct.

You had a lesbian experience with a college student from Kuwait?
Was she any good?
I know I know
