If you could relive part of your past...

[The Shaman]

Those moments from my past that I treasure are always with me.

I look at my wife and I see her the first time we said, "I love you," together. I look at my daughter and I remember when she held my finger seconds after she was born. They're right here in my head and my heart - I relive those moments whenever I like.

Only a few choice moments of completely carefree summertime gaming from 1988 to 1991 - otherwise I've had far too many fun moments since then to want to go back. But it would be nice to have the constitution to eat the crap I used to eat, drink, and stay up gaming for 18 hours straight.

All of you people saying that you don't believe in reliving the past are no fun and officially on my Uncool List.

Alright, alright, I'll play, but I can't pick one.....

I'd go back to when I was 15 -- experiencing the tremble that came with my first real passionate kiss; the thrill of trips to the game store at a time (1980), when it seemed like the the rpg world was on fire with new ideas; the adventure of my first out-of-town con (GenCon South in Jacksonville); and the freedom of walking to the beach after school to go surfing before the sun went down.

I'd go back to the nights and weekends in my mid-20s, when I and a big bunch of friends hung out in the Florida Keys -- fishing, drinking beer and dancing to reggae music. We all were having our share of typical troubles adapting to post-college life in the "real world", but we all had each other to lean on and have fun...And we had a LOT of wild fun!

I'd go back to my 30th birthday, which I spent somewhere off the coast of Virginia, sailing a three-masted square rigger -- a typical old pirate ship -- south from Massachusetts to Florida. That day I was exactly where and who I wanted to be in life.

I'd go back to my wedding day, only seven months ago, just to watch the amazing group of friends and family we have enjoy each other's company. Nearly every one of the 120+ people there knew each other, or most of the others, though some hadn't seen each other in years. It was as much a celebration of them as it was for us, and I wish I'd taken more time to soak it all in.

I desperately wish I could go back to 1998 when I was 13.

This time I would actualy try to help my dad instead of watching him die.

I just stood and watched.

I don't know what happened and I don't have any medical training, but I suspect that there's not much you could have done. In any event, you shouldn't blame yourself. At 13, you're still a kid.

The Chinese have a proverb that states that you live as long as you're remembered. If you remember your father, in a way, you keep him alive.

I would go back to a day in 1984 (I think) when I went to Dragonmeet, my first games convention...

The event was held in a solidly built Victorian building. The noise echoed outside but you couldn't see what was going on within until you had cleared the foyer and were inside the main hall. The entrance to this hall was somewhat unusual in that it was above the level of the floor. It wasn't until you were at the top of the stone stairs that led down to the floor that you could see within. And what a heart-stopping sight it was: row upon row of stands selling the coolest stuff in aisles filled with countless people who knew what a D4 was. It was like a little moment of heaven!

I could stand to relive my honeymoon over and over again. Traveling around the country, no real responsibilities to worry about (yet), and, well, you know...

If I could not change things, I would relive my High School years - especially if I still brought my current persepective on life with it. Those were fun, realtively carefree times and those few things that seemed so awful at the time were just nothing it turns out. I would also relive the 16 months from when I met my wife through our honeymoon. I would stop there because the next year was really rough with not having jobs, living off credit cards etc.

And then I would relive the birth of my children (although I'm sure my wife would not until the actual birth was done).

If I could change things, there are plenty of time I would relive.

If I could just go back and relive part of my past, I don't think I would. If I could go back and change something, now that's a different story.
