Phew! I typed all that out and was like 'dude, stop being all "buck-up, little camper." I'm glad you took it in the way intended. When I was younger, I never thought I would be where I am today.

There's a good ponder. Where did you see your life going when you were around 18?
Mine is easy. The tech boom was on and I was on the road to get into that business. I thought I'd be making easy money and living it up in silicon valley. Stupid bubbles bursting.

I had no clue. I wanted to be a horse trainer but knew that wasn't going to happen. Interior Designer was always high on the list.

I was sweating the draft. The Vietnam War was still very raging and I was A-1. I found a techincal school that would give me an education and a deferment. So my idea of future was in months and not years.

Gotta agree with Traveler on the "Months versus Years" thing. Never gave much thought to making it another five years but plenty time that have past and I feel a bit lost. Had no clue all that has happened ever would.

There are times I feel it would have been better to have gone to Vietnam. I would have been a grunt. My grades in highschool were very poor and I doubt I would have been given much of a chance to learn any trade in the service. I wanted to be a tool maker. But with the draft hanging over my head no one would hire me as an apprentice. I only had days to make choices back then. I had already passed my physical and was waiting to get called up.
What a joke. I am 5'-6" tall and weighed 125 pounds back then. Can you see me humping it through the jungle with half again my weight straped to my back.

When I was 18 I saw my life going nowhere. I had no idea what I wanted to do, didn't really see myself ever being in a position where I could be properly independent or anything. I wasn't an optimistic kinda guy.
