Being only 21 and having very few significant moments in my life, it would probably be earlier this month when I got my grades back. I seriously thought I bombed my exams and was going to be required to withdraw. I had no idea what I was going to do with my life if that happened. I couldn't see myself waiting to be let back in.

Turns out I did way better than I thought lol.

Wow....you need to get out more. I mean, really....grades? That is the best 2 minutes of your life?

Probably while scuba diving. I'd just gone 30 meters down a wall, looked down below me as it continued descending into what seemed like an endless abyss, and then looked around and saw the beauty all around me. It was breathtaking.

Losing my virginity was also high up there.

uhm, lol... I was on a non-extremely-public road. It was like a backroad where people could basically go rallying if they wanted. :awe:

So, how about you take a nice big cup of stfu and comply.

Last I checked backroads were still public. :rolleyes: You have no control over anyone else using that road. There may be almost nobody around but you only need one other person on the road to hit them. Coming around a turn and finding another car in your way wouldn't be unheard of.

I have no problem with an experienced driver having some fun on a back road but driving to the point where 'they think they were going to die at every turn' means that they had no ability to react if anything unexpected happened. You're not on a track, you're a new driver, and you're driving an econobox with mediocre handling. No matter what you say doing that on a public road can kill somebody. The fact that you don't understand that unexpected things happen while you're driving shows just how little experience you have.

Inexperienced driver + lousy handling decade old civic + driving too fast + oncoming traffic = flattened civic

In no particular order, ones that come to mind include:
. . .
Graduating Law School (It was a lot harder than it should have been);
. . .

Really? Law school? For me, that is one of the most bittersweet moments in my life. I was happy as a clam to be done, but it lead me to a career that has, for the most part, been a soul sucking vortex of hatred and misery.

Cripes. I need a new job. :(

About one minute of soft moaning and heavy breathing, followed by another minute of spooning with Oldsmoboat and nibbling on his ear.

I was seriously happy to get out of law school. What happened thereafter career-choice-wise, not so much. ;)

other than cliched shit, it would definitely be something when i traveled.

one that comes to mind is on my honeymoon after I had hiked 2 miles up a mountain and then finally as I exited the tree area I saw the 400ft waterfall infront of me. i was literally speechless when i saw it, i've never had that happen before.

my wife was infront of me with her back to the waterfall and hadn't seen it yet (yea i know hard to believe but it was still in the distance) and I was just pointing behind her w/this look on my face, and she thought I was pointing at her and she thought she had some huge bug on her or something because of my expressions.

that is definitely one of the coolest things i've ever seen in my life. in general though, i think my favorite moments in my life have been when i'm snorkelling and see some cool shit in the underwater world.

What's more significant that realizing that your life isn't completely fucked? It wasn't just being happy to see some good grades.

Not apropos for AT :awe:

Something like this?

You know, you're lucky you're good at (BEEP) my (BEEP) or I'd never put up with ya. You know what I'm talking about, when you (BEEP) lubed-up (BEEP) toothpaste in my (BEEP) while you (BEEP) on a cherry (BEEP)Episcopalian (BEEP) extension cord (BEEP) wetness (BEEP) with a parking ticket. That is the best!

What were they? I don't think I could make an easy choice without resorting to some cliche answer. Has anyone done something so awesome where you can say that it was likely the best thing in life you'll ever do?

id like to think my BEST 2 minutes is yet to come, btu if i had to choose a "so far" it would be difficult. it would be a tie between kids born, 130mph on a motorcycle, and being on stage with the rolling stones and steve miller (different shows)

but i can honestly say all that pales the first time one of your kids comes over, hugs you and says i love you and doesnt actually want anything but your company.

I'd have to say the first time skydiving. Exiting the plane and first getting into freefall. Completely breathtaking (literally and figuratively).

Sexual stuff is up there too (threesomes, foursomes, first good bj, etc).

I think if I totaled up all the 15 second clips of times I nutted in a girls mouth, it would be a little over 2 minutes.

Wish I had vids for nostalgia.

And looking at this thread, I am not the only person who thought this.


Also, while it may not be the best two minutes of my life, would you guys like to know about the most interesting 2 minutes of my life?
