Damn, I know I'm gonna have to get a job soon. i think music sounds better at a tender age and carries a beauty, excitement, and sheen that fades just a bit as one ages. keep the music shiny as long as you can.

AndrewHill Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Probably marrying my wife (10 years in November!!!) and the birth of my second child (because I was in total shock during the first birth!). When I finish my Ph.D. (in two years), that will be up there too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Well, after sitting here staring at the monitor trying to ponder the answer to this question...I've come to the realization that evidently the "finest period in my life" hasn't happened yet.

AllenLowe Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 I tend to look back at myself at any earlier period and decide I didn't know anything at that point - so it's probably now; so much new stuff to write and play, if I can find the time (and I have to) - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Right now, without a doubt. As I approach the age of 30, I've got a great job, alot of good friends, and my own home. I date alot, get to travel, and live in a place where I have access to great art, entertainment, and food. I'm healthy and happy. Life has never been better!

ejp626 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 I had one year living in Toronto and going to grad. school where I felt I really fit in. I also was going on dates with many women. I had a great time, but I didn't go on to do the PhD (at that time). Mixed in were also some tough times, including some emotional anguish over the woman I liked the most. Also, leaving the program on bad terms was unpleasant, though I have gotten over that. My first year working in New York was a good time, because I helped develop an important piece of software still in use by the NY government. I've never quite gotten back to that level of importance at work, though some projects come closer than others. There were flashes in Europe when I was traveling that I couldn't quite believe I had gone to this place or that place, esp. Prague and Madrid. Those were terrific moments, mixed in with a lot of unhappiness about my living situation in England. I suspect looking back, I will think this is a good time, as I have two healthy children, though they are still young enough to be hard to deal with. I will probably be a little happier (or at least less tired) when they reach 5 and 3. In the grand scheme of things, I do have a good life, but I tend to dwell on small irritants and negatives. I have been making a conscious effort to turn this around and remember the big picture, as well as the better things in life -- like being able to go to museums and listen to music.
