I threw my last television off my porch in 2008...

Good for you! Sold mine instead, though every once in a while I feel that my life is incomplete because I haven't dropped a TV from the roof. Guess I will live vicariously through you!

Almost destroyed my laptop during the 2016 debates and the impeachment hearings. If I had a TV then, I know I would have destroyed it.

Life is about living.

Anything can exist and then die. If you don't have stories to share, you aren't living.

The opposite of "Live" is "Evil".

So live a little.
 Quoting: Hot Dog Harry


The best stories come from experiences while chasing money and possessions.

It's more like the journey IS the destination.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81399619


I agree with the second part of your assessment.

Some people just exist for 80 years and never do anything worthwhile.

Some people live awesome but short lives.

Quality over quantity.

My stories are so wild that nobody believes me. So what good are stories when nobody believes you anyway?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84219913


The more outlandish, the more believable. Doesn't matter if anyone believes you because you got to enjoy/feel/learn from the expereince.

Absolutely, OP.

The older I get (31 now) the more I start to realize this sort of stuff.

You can always make more money where it was lost, but you can't make up for missed time to create memories on the journey.

Good point. And there aren't any good or bad stories. Just stories. I've wrestled with guilt on some of my stories, but in the end they're all just experiences. As long as we learn from them is the salient point.

I agree. I've had very few experiences that I regret compared to those that I am happy to have had.

Learning is the key.

Re: Life isn't About Living the Longest With the Most Possessions, It's About Experiences and Having Stories to Tell.
When I was graduating high school in 1983, I had a friend named Rhonda. Rhonda had a boyfriend that didn't care that much for me, and I felt the same way. He was older than us and had just gotten out of prison for robbery, I think. I did not like him from the first 5 minutes after we met. He was just very cold hearted fellow. Just something off about him. I didn't know then.
We had gotten out of school in late May and graduation was June 6th. So we had a week or 2 off till the ceremony.
One night close to graduation we were hanging out. Me, and Rhonda and her boyfriend. I will call him T1.
He said he was waiting for his 2 other friends to show up and they were going somewhere. To my surprise when his 2 friends showed up one of them was my family's friend. The one I knew T2 had been friends with both my older sisters for many years. He was a good guy. The other guy, R, I had met a couple of times but we weren't very friendly.
Anyway the guys said they were going to the store. Me, being me, said ok cool T2 will you buy me a candy bar? I had already climbed in the car. T2 said, in a most serious voice, to get out of the car immedy.
No you are not going. He was kind of nasty about it. So I did. And called him an asshole. I don't know if Rhonda knew EHERE they going or WHY. But she didn't ask to go.

Those dumbasses drove around that night looking for a store to rob. THEY did rob a store. But it went FAR beyond that.
In the process of robbing the store they shot a customer, who survived, and a store clerk who did not.

I did not know any of this till morn. Lots of my family came from out of state for my graduation and our house was full. At 5 am the SWAT team surrounded our house and almost broke the door down because they thought T2 lived there. He didn't.
My mother was so embarrassed in front of our family.

They caught all 3 and T2 turned state evidence against T1. T1 got convicted with the death penalty and was executed in the early 2000's. T2 did 28 of a 35 yr sentence and I don't know what happened to R.

I never hung out with Rhonda again and the next time I saw her she was a homeless crackhead.

Be careful who you choose for friends.
I was young and stupid.
