Comments on: A little quiet time on Tuesday http://johnrlong.com/2006/02/21/a-little-quiet-time-on-tuesday/ I just blather on and on about stuff that interests me, mostly politics and sex and sometimes movies and art.

And plastic surgery done in L.A. (might as well seek the best) was at the top of my list. I ran through the list with my best friend of what I needed to fix and I was surprised to see a horrified look on her face once I finished. She asked me what was wrong with me and what I planned to do after I had all of this work done. “Pageants,” I said. Kidding, as I am so not the pageant type and oh yeah, how many contestants are in their 30’s? Would it really make a difference in my life if I were to have my every last plastic surgery wish come true? “Perfect” looks or not I would still be who I am and I am less than thrilled with me these days.

However, if any doctor or therapist, licensed or otherwise, ever creates a real eternal sunshine/spotless mind device, I am his or her guinea pig. Or I would spend a sizable amount of a much deserved powerball jackpot for a session. . .

One question that I thought of recently: if time travel were possible is there any one moment you would go back to in your life? One moment where if you just did that one thing different, you might not be in the mess you are now? I am speaking for myself in that last sentence. I don’t know how far back I would have to go to make things “right” in my present life. Enough. . . But something to think about and an interesting question to ask your friends.
