When I met my father and he died one month to the day after I met him. Showed just how short life really is.
Mine had to be seven months ago when I split up from my wife of 7 years. Everything changed at that point; I moved in with my estranged father who I've now got to know really well, rediscovered how hard it is on your own, began drinking WAY too much and ended up in hospital for 4 days due to poor diabetes control. Things have recently started to get much better: the diabetes is coming back under control, my ex and I remain friends and I've got a really hot new girlfriend all I need now is a place of my own and I think I might be able to survive.
first time I saw the movie WallStreet, it put me on the path I am on now and the first time I got a pc.
Mine would have to be this whole flipping year. But i think scaryest thing i';ve experienced is when i was in hospital 2 months ago and during surgery my heart stopped. Last thing i remember is someone grabbing my chest.....freaky freaky experience. Thats made an impact on me definatly a life changer. Although there been lots of other things this year that have changed my life. Only thing i care about is the fact i'm still here....
Almost five years ago, I was told my parents were getting a divorce. The part the really changed my life was the reason behind it which was probably one of the worst things my father could have ever done. Think felony and prison time. After that, left behind everyone I knew and basicly my whole life. Moved to Texas and have been bouncing around from house to house about once or twice a year. Went through a long depression, completely screwed my high school career, and for the most part, had no social life outside a glowing screen. Eventually decided that even if it all sucked, I wasn't going to throw my education away. Started a slow road to getting it back on track and should finish up around the end of the year, ahead of schedule. A lot of good things came with that decision. Started meeting a few people again. In the early days after moving to Texas, I also built and shortly there after modded my first PC. Became a member of gideontech and a lurker here. The crap my father pulled still affects everday life and I don't think I'll ever forgive him, much less talk to him. Despite all of it, things are starting to go well. Got a plan for my life and am working toward it largly thanks to the support of my mother, a few friends, and some cool people I met through a glowing screen.
I believe i am devoid of life-changing moments. Nothing springs to mind. It might just be that i'm a highly disrurbed individual. My dad had an accident and had to go to the hospital about a month ago, still there, this have affected me very little.
My biggest life changing moment was when I lost both my arms and legs in a freak rabid squirrel incident.........................Man My nose itches..... No really, I think my biggest life changing moment was when I realized that I wasn't a kid anymore. I think I realized this when I found myself getting the urge to "Smack that damn Teenager", and the urge to yell "PULL UP YOUR PANTS!!" and "GET A HAIRCUT!!". Of course, I sometimes also get the urge to try and convice a teen I know to get a mowhawk. Oh Well...I've since come to accept being an adult, albeit a very strange one. GET A MOWHAWK!!!
i hope thats for a weeks work though im guessing its monthly. My moment would be the birth of my son hes the best thing that has ever happened to me. Moment 2 (i hope) coming around the end of January when the next child arrives.
Sounds kind of weird, but it was a few years ago (1996 or so) when after a long illness, and spending most of my life never leaving teh same town, and living quite a boring existence. One day, I just blew a fuse, and almost did a Micheal Douglas in "Falling Down"... anyway... I just opened an atlas, flicked to a random page, pointed at it with my eyes closed, and said "I'm going there!" It was Vancouver... well... it was just a bit to the right on a very small scale map... so I probably hit Kamloops or somewhere like that Nearest large city was Vancouver anyway. So I just bought a ticket, and buggered off. I was there for two years. What finally brought it home tho, was on final approach to Vancouver... we dropped through the clouds, and suddenly I saw traffic.... with tail lights on teh right, and headlights on teh left... then for some reason, it all finally hit me.. "OMG... i'm in a different country". Weid huh?
I guess one of mine was splitting up with my G/F of 5 years loosing my motorbike licence ( speeding running red lights police chase etc ) then saying f@@k it I will go visit my sister in london then moving over here from australia meeting new people traveling the world finding my wife getting married and making plans for the future
1.The day I accepted Jesus Christ as my person savior 2.The night I got into a car accident and the other person died 3. When I married my wife 4. when my daughter was born
Well, I'd have to say #1 was the day my gf (at the time) told me she was pregnant, followed closely at #2 when she told me 3 days later she had miscarried.
