The Perfect Life

2002-5-20 @ 12:34


I just got done from watching some old family home videos from 1994 with Joe. Other than the fact that we're all very different than from 8 years ago, there is one other thing I got out of watching it. I started to think of how I could combine all of the events leading up to now in my life and try to pick out the best moments. They would be the following:

1) I would live in my old house in Waterloo, Iowa.

2) The house would be located in Lawrence, Kansas.

3) I would still be playing the piano. What a stupid decision to quit playing! I was pretty darn good when I was young.

4) I wouldn't be swimming! I know that sounds strange, but when I was looking at the old videos, I just felt negative about swimming, despite all of my accomplishments in the sport. Plus I forgot a lot of them too. I didn't realize how much I dedicaed myself to it. So that's why I'm glad to be done with it. I still would like to be swimming for fun though...if that counts!

5) My girlfriend would be the one and the only Madeleine. Not just because she has been the one and only, but because she is really awesome and I love her a lot.

6) I wouldn't be in marching band! I think I have fully made up my mind on this one.

7) The current president would be Clinton. He's been the only democrat president in my lifetime and that really sucks!

8) Out of the three junior highs I went to, I wouldn't have wanted to be in anyone of them.

9) I wish I would have been more into music at an early age instead of wasting my money on those damn baseball cards.

10) And most importantly...I choose to live right now because I'm really enjoying looking back on everything, while realizing that damn, I still have a lot more memories ahead.

Looks like the rest of my life, as it always does, begins tomorrow...
