Since I'm probably old enough to be your father (most of you, anyway), ask me a question you've always wanted to ask him. I'll share the sagacity of my years.

Name 3 things you think everyone should do in their lives.
Name the 3 greatest moments of your life.
If you could speak to yourself at 18, 21 and 30 what would you tell yourself?
|

Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

Are you afraid to die tomorrow? In 1 year? In 5 years?
Do you think you were meant for greater things than you achieved?
Or, if you believe you've done approximately what you're capable of or "should" have done with your life, do you think you were destined to do so? In other words, what went right to allow you to recognize your potential.

What is so special about living to be approximately 185 (or however old you are)?
What was the first sign that you were old?

The births of my two sons would be 1 & 2. No. 3 would be going for a hike and standing on a hill on an Arctic island, looking north and realizing there were no other human beings between me and Russia. Never felt more alone in my life. I still dream about it.

I think I wasted a lot of opportunities to achieve more, but I'm not done yet.
My biggest mistake was not 'following my passion', my natural talents. I'm only getting around to correcting that now.

My dad did the best he could with what he had and always put his family first. Don't think I could've done a better job.

Days? No. Weeks, months and years? Yes. Remember when summer vacation seemed like forever? It doesn't anymore. My theory is that our perspective of time changes as each unit represents a smaller and smaller percentage of our lifespan as we get older.

Late twenties, early thirties, after you've completed your edumacation, travelled, done all sorts of wild shit/fucked a lot of women and got your career on track. Too many guys 'settle down' too young and pay for it for the rest of their lives, usually in alimony and child support. I don't think men really mature until they reach 30.

Take a breath in between posts old man..lol.
Fuck im 30 and i thought i was old. So this thread is making me feel good about myself. 
I disagree with you saying that people should ever get married though. From what i can tell (ive never been married or even close thank god) its like giving up. You may aswell go to prison cuz you will have someone telling you what you can and cant do every minute of the day and grinding your sole into the ground. There are some lucky people that find the right person but in general i think its a huge mistake.
Just look at most married couples and you will see people that are so miserable and jaded that they take every oppertunity to cheap shot their spouse and make them feel like shit. Stick your dick in her and run is the only option imo.
EDIT: dont even get me started about having kids..lol.

Either your sample size is WAY too small, or you have just seen every marriage around you and your family go terribly wrong. Sometimes its like that, but most of the time, getting married, and having kids will be the best moments of your life.

Or i just cant deal with peoples bull shit very well.
My parents are still together and get along great. Also my cock isnt small.
Like i said some people get lucky, but saying that most of the time marriage is a good idea is just wrong. Look at the divorce rate and the amount of kids being rasied by one parent cuz the other one fucked off after finding out how much of a piece of shit the person they married really was.

Where I am from only 1/3 of marriages end in divorce... Not nearly the "majority". So if ur KK holds vs AK, you win at life, otherwise find the next woman, lol.
I do agree that its not for everyone, but a majority of people are happy with married life, where as the tone of your posts is that a majority of people are NOT happy.

Well your taking my post a little too seriously. Im wesrman not wufuguy..lol.
Although what i said is pretty much how i feel, it was overly dramatic for effect. The majority of married people i know dont look very happy though.

Not having a degree closed a lot of doors for me. If I could do it over, I'd take 4 or 5 years out my life to get the piece of paper. I'm a smart guy and did fine without, but I would've done better with. It's a competitive world, and when it comes down to choosing someone for a job, all else being equal, the Wookie with the degree wins.
Knowing foreign languages allows you understand and appreciate the world better, expands your thinking because some concepts just don't translate from the original and, again, opens more doors. I think it's even more important to learn languages now than it was in the past, given globalization. Sure, the world wants to know English, but you've got a leg up if you can speak the native tongue.

Depends on the circumstances. If my kid had turned into some street punk gang banger and deserved what was coming to him, I doubt it. I've always taught my kids that their actions have consequences.

Why did you drive through Charlotte when you were 19 throwing watermelons off of the back of a Jeep at black people on the sidewalk while yelling, "NIGGER WANT A WATERMELON?"

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
