    I was 35 years old.

    Bought my first house

    Been married for the second time for 7 years already

    I was very close to getting divorced, and made some bad choices.

    Had only one Kid (dog) my Sheppard Sheba

    Was still looking the big dollars and would sacrifice my homelife

    I was driving 4 1/2 hours a day back and forth to work, and working 60 hours a week on top of that.

    My mom was alive, and my family was in better health

    I was driving a white Ford Taurus with 220hp

    I had never been laided off since working since I was 16.

    I took some of life for-granted, such as we will all be around for a longtime

    I used to have Ice Cold beers with my Father in Law and watch sports. With his alzheimers, he can't do that anymore.

    I did some physical labor in my job, but not as much as I do now.

    Let's see, ten years ago:

    I had a screenprinting job making 8 bucks an hour
    I was going on 5 years without getting laid
    I was living with my parents
    I was driving a '91 Honda Civic
    I had really long hair
    I didn't know what I wanted to do in life

    Ten years later,

    I can't find a job
    I'm going on a new 7 years without getting laid
    I'm back to living with my parents
    I drive a '93 Toyota MR-2 Turbo
    I've cut my hair
    I still don't know what I want to do with my life

    I hope it's a positive year :up:

    10 years ago, I was 26

    I didnt even know how to turn a computer on.

    I was in my first marriage.

    I was in a band called Madstone, and we were playing all over Central FL

    I also had never owned a cell phone

    I had hair down to my waist

    I had an 89 Chevy S10

    $25 would cover me at a bar

    I was working as a carpet installer

    Cant think of much else.

    Ten years ago I was living in Overtown near the "old" arena.

    I was working for the County making about 5.5K a month.

    I hated my job, working as a grossly overqualified and overpaid clerk for community councils and presenting proposed sales of County-owned land to the Planning Advisory Board, hardly ever using my skills.

    I had just started becoming more religious.

    I went to a conservative synagogue.

    I didn't have a cell phone and didn't want one.

    I had recently adopted a cat. I miss you soooo much Jakey.

    I was having a lot of dinner parties. It was my creative outlet.

    Ten years ago I was 16

    I thought I was indestructible

    I thought friends should and could be trusted implicitly

    I didnt live in constant pain

    I thought I knew far more then I do now

    I didnt value people and experiences as much as I do now

    I drove a 1989 Subaru wagon, and didnt care

    I was doing all my school work in 2 days and working the other 3 doing construction

    I lived to play sports, of practically any kind
