What was the best year of your life?

For me, 1983-84.
College Freshman,
Good friends,
Had enough money,
Lots of freedom,
Kept same high school buddies in college,
No heavy obligations,
Reagan firmly in charge,
MTV actually played music,
Whole world ahead.

[i]Don't let it be forgot,
that once there was a spot,
for one brief shining moment,
that was known as Camelot.[/i]

I am still waiting for it to happen. I am only 25. I am hoping to peak around 35-36. Trade in the old lady for a couple of 18 yr olds, buy a sporst car, wear an earing, have a pony tail, and sip fruity drinks on the beach. Oh yeah, I want to be fat while doing all of this too. Why-just because I can. [;)]!

Seriously-I think this year is promising. I am graduating from college in december. I will be getting a real job, a house in the next year, and so long as the milk man does his job, I will be a daddy too! Yep, this year is looking up already!

You can keep the youth, sex, partying, whatever. Give me 1999 so I can go on a dot-bomb buying frensy and by December 1999 I'll never have to work again in my life.

Sept 11th 2000 to Sept 11th, 2001.

I wouldnt have got involved with a few women during that time that where headaches, and won the lottery.

On the last day I would have called the WTC and made a bomb threat 1-2 hrs before the attack happened so they would have had to evacuate the building.

30 may be the prime of life, but I think the fun to responsibility quotient peaks around 8-10

1978

Single, making great money, living in New York

Man that was one Heck of a year for me.

Oh...and the Yankees made it even sweeter.

1990.
Had a lot of fun that year.

1982
I made a decision in February that has affected my life since.

I know it wouldn't be June 2001 to June 2002. That year gets the award for "worst year ever". We have dog dies, Dad dies, WTC attacks, drop out of grad school because of money. What fun.

On the bright side, the coming year will have to be great by comparison. Kind of like when you soak a hand in ice water then plunge it into a bowl of warm water. The warm water feels hot.

1991 - 1992

College years, plenty of beer money, cheap apartment, convertible, best shape of my life, awesome girlfriend, really good dog.

95. Got robbed that year. Would have stayed home and "laid in wait.....".

On the plus side, they didn't get any guns (only had one at the time and it was elsewhere).

August 1986 - August 1987.

Had a hot car, a few young things to keep me warm and all the time in the world.

This has not happened to me - yet.
I'm dreading the day.
It makes me want to live better and see her more often.
Thanks for the reminders, guys.

On Topic, though, 13 would be where I could start again to get things right.

Not too late to enjoy 2003, they year before they ban virtually EVERYTHING in 2004.

Yeah I know...won't happen right?

Being pessimistic sure doesn't help.

I was optimistic in 88' with the Republicans safly in office and 93' with the comforting knowledge that the NRA will NEVER let it happen.

Their is a difference between pessimistic and realistic. Pessimistic is when it could go either way and you still feel it will go bad. But if you look again, I was being optimistic. You got like two years left.

Everyone wants to go back to 1933, 1967, 1985, 1988 or 1993 and buy BEFORE the ban. Here's your chance.

The year following graduation from bootcamp, starting at my 'A' school in Virginia Beach. Had good friends around all the time, plenty of money, and got to chase hotties up and down the strip. I miss all that madness.

I would like to redo 3 different time in my life:

If I could go back to High School and college with knowing what I know now, I could get so much more pussy and had even more fun.

Purchase many machine guns before the new law (in 84 or 85????).

Purchase much AOL stock when it was first released.

Not me. It was pretty damn hard watching cancer slowly take my Mom. Although, despite the fact that she and I talked quite a bit during her last year on earth, and I still have quite a bit I would have liked to have talked to her about, I couldn't go through watching that again.

As for re-living any part of my life; I'd rather just see what the future holds.

P.S. BusMaster, don't waste your time dreading the inevitable. Enjoy her company while she's still with you.

I wouldn't want to re-live any year in my life. Cause with out it,I wouldn't be the person I am today.
