The day before my daughter died, so I could see her one more time.

I went on this date with a girl. This was a girl that I had my eye on for a while, and one day I finally had the gonads to talk to her (I'll save all the lil details). Anyway we struck up a good friendship and turned out we had a lot in common, and had even been at some of the same concerts (small concerts too, so we coulda seen each other), so we talked a lot and hung out sometimes, but nothing too fancy. Well a few years ago on Easter we were both bored and decided to ditch our families and go to Santa Monica (LA people know what I'm talking about). I swear everything I did was the RIGHT thing! Put the right music on the radio, picked out a good movie, carried her over high grass as we walked along the beach, ate at a Greek restaurant, had a great time talking and just being with each other. So now you're thinking "ok so what's the deal? is this your current girlfriend?" answer is NO. See the thing is, she was involved in a sort of courtship deal, where she was "with" a guy, but not really "with" him (and no this was not a line, she liked me as a person and was not putting me off), so this whole time on this "date" i was wasting my charms. Sadly, that was actually the last time I saw her, because a month later I met my current girlfriend (of 4 years... next week... I need gift ideas... got any?). If I was to relive that day again, the only thing I would change is I would tell her what I was really feeling inside. At the time you cannot imagine how badly I wanted to be with her. There are some times even today I wonder how my life would be different today if I had just told her.

There are many days that I would like to relive and maybe change just one thing I did that day that might have changed the course of my life for the better... but then I wouldn't know why I went back and changed it and maybe my alternate self would look back on that day and wonder what it would be like if I had only done what I did in the first place!

Here's a short list of possibilities:

1. The time I took the wrong woman to prom (a friend, but not by girlfriend because of the prior promise!)... or, more accurately, the time I could have taken two women to prom but didn't think it out very well (DUH!)

2. The time I (without realizing it) chose Harvard over love.

3. The time I (and I knew it) chose Miami over love.

4. My decision to break up with my girlfriend from Norway (aka giving up on her accepting any of my proposals to marry me).

5. Many, many days where I wasted too much money trying to bury my loneliness in consumerism.

6. Not allowing a woman to kiss me because I was holding out on the Norwegian to change her mind.

7. When one of my ex-GF told me she was evil not just letting her go then and there. There's no saving those that don't want to be saved.

8. The perfect date that I managed to totally screw up at the very end!

Anyhow, that's 8 and 8 is infinity on it's side so that ought to be enough.

But if you're hard on yourself, aren't these moments endless in themselves?

Happy moments to repeat? Oh, yes, there are many of those too:

1. The first time and every time I shared a kiss with the girl I loved most in high school... maybe even every time we held hands, which happened to be quite a few days...

Actually, I won't kid you. All of my later relationships are measured off of that one. It's hard not to. Luckily, it wasn't perfect by any means... She had psycho parents that were always bugging about how I wasn't from their religion. That was partly why I lost interest in God and then later hated God and then later studied God and then later picked God to pieces and caused him to disappear in a puff of logic. Anyhow, maybe there was a day I could have gone to their church and converted to their oh-so-ridiculuously-specific form of Christianity... but perhaps that's something my then and all alternate "what if" reality selves can agree on - that I'd be converting in bad faith...

Anyhow, I'm sick of looking back. Regrets suck and memories fade. What's in the future?

lets see I don't have my book of what happened in a day but I would have to guess...May 4, 2005 (day I met some one that I am absolutely in love with) June 15. 2005 (had a water balloon fight it the mall parking lot with May 4th guy) . But if I were to pick one day just happens over and over again like in the movie groundhog day...it would be February 16, 2006 (the day before my cousin moved 19 hours away. <----the day before my life crashed)

Don't want to bum you out, here, but it would be the day my older brother was killed on his Harley. I would have come up with something just to keep him off his bike on that day. But fate had other plans for my best friend. I've never had as close a relationship with another male since. No one could replace him, nor do I want anyone to.

My wedding night...I love my husband and am very happy. Plus that night I gave it up to him...and it was very, very special. I loved the way everything turned out. I would not change him for anything in the world. I love him. I have no children so I don't know maybe when I have children that will be the happiest day that I would not change but I'll see.

I would go after my wife sooner, I let time pass and didn't try to be with her when I first had the chance. I now take every day as so precious, the extra days to be with her seems like they would be a gift, a wonderful one.

The day that I left for my 3 month Backpacking Euro-Trip. I felt so free and ready to take on anything. It was the most amazing feeling in the world.

I would relive yesterday, because it was a magical, peaceful and beautiful day. Gorgeous tropical weather, free indian food , I got Darshan from Amma at her ashram and then my freind and I discovered we have a lot in common and someone took us out on their fancy sailboat. Then my neighbors made me a birthday card, because my birthday was a couple days ago. A perfect day...thanks for asking.

I have so many days I would love to relive. Like when my kids were born and I held them for the first time, or they when they said their first words. My wedding day. The first time I saw the ocean or the mountains. So many wonderful days.. I cant pick just one.
