Instead of asking yourselef "What have I done with my life?" aks yourself "What have I not done with my life?": in terms of the plans you made when you were younger. What did you want to do, but never have, and why?

Me I never went travelling (beacuse I was poor), I never wrote a book (because I want to get good a writting first and not just hack out 300 pages of shite), and I never ran a marathon (could no be arsed).

I never conquered a nation and used it's inhabitants as slave labor. Come to think of it, I'm putting that on my "to do" list.

There are a lot of things I haven't done, and most of them (at least the ones I wish to) I have a strong inclination to beleive I will one day accomplish. I will see the world over, I will write a book for the world to read, and I will find my peace in this world - somehow... we all get where we're going a little bit at a time ;)

I'm young enough to still waste my chances.

No seriously...me too on the book thing, though I'm working on it:) I also haven't had a musical career, even though I wanted to, and was on my way...but kids kind of took precedence, and now I figure I'll just instill a love of music in them and support THEM if they want to perform.

I haven't changed the world...just my own world.

Other than that, the things I haven't done are either on my to do list still, or not as important to me anymore.

I have accomplished very little, but considering how my teenage years were hampered by my father's illness (and my depression after he died) I am not surprised my development was set back a bit. I'm catching up now but the setback knaws at me.

Basically, I was robbed of the years where I do all sorts of dumb shit.

At least the worst has passed and the future is looking bright. :)

I'll likely be enjoying myself while most people have settle down and started families. I'll have more money and freedom to do things like travel the world so I won't mind that much since I do like kids (even though I'd be a lousy parent).

I hope your a gay man because Rick Mercer is (we are talking about the Monday report/Newsroom/22 Minutes guy right? I am.).

He has a boyfriend too.

I didn't travel the country in my VW Bus. (Actually owning the bus had a lot to do with that-once you own it you realise that you have to think hard about trips across town...) Or on a motorcycle. Again, bought a shitty motorcycle 'cause I'm poor.

I didn't race the big cars. I still can (technically I can still do the above), but...I'd really like to do Class 5(I think thats it, stock VWs) in the Baja 1000 with my brother. He's a solid driver.

I didn't follow through on my music as much as I should have. Writting just had to take a front seat....I prefer music but in two years of writting I had earned more recognition and, perhaps more importantly, money that I had to switch gears. The plan, and it's a bad one, is to come back to college when I can and get the music degree and widdle away the rest of my days composing.

And, as demonstrated, I've never come up with a sensable thing to do with myself.....
