When I was 4 I remember my Mom telling me I was adopted.

When I was 7 I remember my Dad bringing me to a WWF match.

When I was 10 I remember my brother calling me a retard because I was making odd noises

When I was 12 I remember a doctor telling me I had Tourette syndrome.

When I was 14 I remember my Dad who hates baseball took me to a baseball game (yankees)

When I was 15 I remember going fishing with my Dad and catching the same fish 22 times.

When I was 16 I remember weighing about 30 lbs less than I should have because my Mom put me on an anti Tourette diet.

When I was 16 I remember my driving lessons.

Also I remember getting my first blow job from my first girlfriend.

When I was 17 I remember having Sex with a girl named Lauren.

When I was 18 I remember breaking up with Lauren.

When I was 21 I remember my friends getting me my first drink.

When I was 24 I remember having 3 girlfriends.

When I was 24 and a half I remember jerking off alot because I had no girlfriends.

When I was 25-27 I remember nothing. I drank my nights away following my favorite cover band everywhere (dog voices)

When I was 27-29 I remember going with a girl who made me homeless made me believe she was rich and mob related and made me think her baby was mine.

When I was 30 I remember my friends getting me a lap dance.

When I was 30 I remember going to NYC on Sept 15 and helping loading a tractor trailer with goods for the victims of Sept 11th

When I was 32 I remember fucking girl after girl after girl. I just gave up finding true love.

When I was 33 I remember meeting my wife. She was in a gas station parking lot where I told her to be. She was beautiful then and beautiful now.

When I was 34 I remember getting my puppy Oreo. This dog has made my life so much better. She is my pride and joy.

When I was 35 I remember getting married.

When I was 35 I remember getting back surgery. And getting addicted to Vicodin until last year. I loved it. I loved it more than anything.

When I was 36 I remember having a heart attack. The first thing I saw when I woke up was my Dad. He said how ya feeling kid. I said lets get the fuck outta here. No dice I was there for 4 days.

When I was 37 I remember being named rookie of the year for my company. My Mom and Dad were so proud of their little retarded boy who made good.

When I was 37 I also remember my watching 4 bear in my Dads yard. A 10 minute moment will last a lifetime. I love My Mom and my wife but no one compares to my Father who gave up so much for me to have a good life. I know he will beat this stupid fucking bullshit cancer. I know he will.

When I sit here and remember all the years I have lived on this planet I realized one thing.

It went by in a flash. And the rest  will to. Enjoy it because the rest of your life could be an hour or 70 years. All I know is that it goes by so quick that if you don't stop and look around you may miss it.

Thanks for sharing.

1 question: How did you meet your wife at a gas station.  Was it planned?   or did you just walk up to her?

Need more details

I met my wife thru matchdoctor.com a free dating site.

When I caught those 22 fish or whatever my Dad was getting so pissed because he kept having to throw it back.

But thanks guys and I hope the young ones here learn a lesson from this.....

Koaj I went to Jenks but not tradewinds. I used to go to Mothers in Wayne which is now a park and ride. Boulevard Pub in Hopatcong which is now a liquor store and numerous other places.

I respect your courage and rawness

Happy Birthday and I wish you the best...  You story is definitely one of survival...

I assume because you have existed on this site  since 2003, you are a sports bettor... I am interested in your gambler story...

rage...I'm lookin 64 in the eye and I've learned things I buy now won't wear out, there's nothing left to learn the hard way, and my joints are more accurate at predicting the weather than that TV guy.

 

Congrats again, Son.
