Yeah, a friend of mine went to the midnight release, bought it, and played all night long. When he stopped to go to school, he ended up falling asleep on the floor and skipped.

School is not the best time of your life, the best time is when your calling the shots.

i like this statement... i partied real hard in school and yeah it was fun i guess but i killed way too many brain cells for a bunch of real short term gains, if you can call em gains at all. looking back, i wish i would have not been the party guy... i think a lot of good kids with potential fall for this MTV vision of school and i don't think it really gets you anywhere long term. to me, school was just a chaotic, sometimes fun, big party, or now, dang hard work... either way i think calling the shots and having my own thing would be much better a time

Too funny! Hopefully someday, you'll realize that NOBODY ever calls the shots. Someone (shareholders, lawyers, accountants, banker, customers, etc) is always telling you how it is and how it's going to be.

Just wait until you hit 21 and your older 31 year old friend tells you the next 10 years will go by in a blink...And I'll be damed..IT DID!

Then when you are 30, you happen to see a bunch of older people playing bingo. And you wonder after seeing infomercials about life insurance for AARP for those "40-85" and think, ah...thats a long way away...

And it isnt.

Then at 40, you are dating a 53 year old who plays bingo. And both of you are AARP cardholders.

Dude! Seriously, if I could go back to junior high, I would. But part of life is living life hard, fast, with direction and not purposely screwing over and hurting people as you live it.

Enjoy it, live it, embrace it.

And don't forget to stop and smell the roses. There are many great things out there you don't get to see as the driver of the car. When you are the passenger, you see things that you would never realize.

i suppose you can say that, and even if one becomes king of the world the cosmic forces still call the shots... big enough asteriod we can't destroy, sun getting too hot or cold, yes in the big scheme, who really calls the shots? but realistically speaking, one can call the shots to a good degree in their own world and in their own lives. its not about controlling everything in my opinion, or even being completely free, just acquiring a good degree of it for yourself
