Today I am 40

4_2,

You're the best of the best. From our interaction, I consider you one of the most balanced people I know. Consider that a huge compliment.

Happy Bday.

(1) Which 5 year period of your life would you want to relive if you could do it again? Why?

[/ QUOTE ]

That one is tough. I didn't meet my wife until my senior year of college so going back to college armed with the knowledeg I now possess would be very interesting; however, I think go back to the 30-35 era and work out more and spend more time with my girls again. That would be a lot of fun to relive.

(2) What major mistakes have you made along the way, and what would you do differently?

[/ QUOTE ]

I've had a couple of ill-timed job changes and there have been a few stock market investments that I wish I could have back. Trading Sterling for Jerome Bettis cost me a FFL championship back in the day as well.

(3) If you were not married, please rate your ability on how well you could still get hot women at your age. (scale of 1-10)

[/ QUOTE ]

Hot women my age I'd rate myself close to a 9. Those who met me in Vegas can probably offer a more unbiased view on this one......

seeing epdaws in a thread makes me happy.

42yearold(hey soon that will be right),

You didnt act a day over 25 in vegas, and are a great man. Happy Birthday.

that poem is corny. Sorry, but I can't read it without rolling my eyes. It just reminds me of every idiot I've ever met who justifies their abominable existences by that goddamn cannard "taking the road less traveled by"

Nonetheless: happy birthday!!!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Those idiots miss the entire point of the poem...

but nonetheless, this day in 1989 was troublesome indeed.

4 2,

You have a 14 year old daughter and you post in OOT? Yee gods man, that is a hell of a conflict of interests there.

Happy birthday anyway.

[Aloysius]

4_2 - great OP, and happy birthday man. You've long been one of my favorite posters. I'm listening to INXS right now in honor of your 40th [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

adsman,

I consider hanging out in OOT part of my obligation as the parent of a teenage daughter.

Al,

I was listening to Devil Inside on the way in to the office this morning [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
