If there was one thing you could change about your life, what would it be?

I know that there is a lot in mine that I want to change, so thinking small, I was trying to identify what to start with... picking one thing over another is more difficult that you would think, then I thought, well what if I only got to change one thing, whatever I would pick would have to be the most important, so that's where I should start. Now I'm sort of stuck trying to figure it out again...

 
i would start working on not being such an introvert a lot sooner
^ This. I don't think of myself as an introvert but I am definitely not a people person. Seems a lot of things would be easier or better if I were sometimes.

 
Is it bad that the very first thought in my mind mirrored the bigger unit ?

Since MP has already claimed the porn-sized dong, I'm stuck between three things:

1) Changing the situation with Junior, and being her biological father as opposed to the inevitable step father

2) Having more money - to reduce job stress, take my mind off some "critical" purchases for the race car, and let me move into a bigger place

3) Just having a bigger place with no HOA. Between hobbies, Junior getting bigger, and two dogs, I'm starting to feel claustrophobic.

I tried to get into Annapolis (Naval Academy) in HS, I didnt get in but I guess I was an alternate and they wanted me to go to the naval academy junior college , in which you enlisted in the Navy and then did 2 years at their NA Junior college and transferred to the Naval Academy your junior year.

I snubbed my nose at that because I was too young to see that as a real opprotunity to go to one of the service academy's and not as a "second choice" I wouldnt have had good enough grades to be a pilot probably but would have been a hell of a career..

So I said FU and joined the Army and became a grunt- real smart decision ehh?

 
I hate thinking about things like this because honestly I love my life how it is and couldn't imagine myself in a different place, but there are probably two things that I've thought about changing if I had the chance.

First, I would have went to a different college on a football scholarship instead of the one I chose. I had the chance to play for one of the most storied programs in history but wrote them off without even visiting the campus because I had always hated the school. I could have gotten a degree from a very well respected university for free, but instead I ended up playing for a couple of years under a coach that didn't recruit me and never liked me and ended up quitting and transferring to a school not far from where I grew up. It's all worked out great, but who's to say what could have been?

The second thing I would possibly change is trying to move away from where I'm at now before the wife and I had really settled down and started a family. Like I said, I love where I'm at, but I've been in the same general area since I was 10 years old and in a lot of ways I would like a change.
