Wow, double posts 4 minutes apart!

Anyway, Happy Birthday! I don't miss being 15, but 23 was really great.

six more years before its legal ;) just stating the obvious here....

Well today was a good day, got a brand new Ibanez Guitar from my parents :) Thanks for all the happy bdays. For those that are older, have any wise wisdom i should take in to consideration, perhaps something you wish you would have known at 15?

Happy Bday!

Get a part time job so you can start learning about responsibility and earning money on your own. I know it sounds like a drag but its worth it. I didn't get a job till I was 18 and boy did I wish I had gotten one sooner. So much more you can learn from having a part time job than just wasting away your time with friends. I wish I had gotten a job earlier in life rather than wasting all that time watching TV or at friends houses doing absolutely nothing.

Plus even with a part-time job you'll still be able to hang out with friends but with an actual purpose and not just wasting time. After getting a part-time job I actually started managing my time better and found myself doing more worth while things with my time. I'm only 20 but boy do I regret not getting a part time job sooner. Also having your own money and not relying on your parents is one of the best feelings in the world.

Go abroad-read Bulgakov's Master and Margaritta and don't impregnate any women before you're able to support 12 children-godspeed lad.

Learn to save money now. and start doing it. Compounded interest could make you a millionaire by the age of 35 if you start saving regularly now. I know at 15 I couldn't even fathom being alive at 35, so as outlandish as it may seem to you now, you'll be 45 before you know it.

don't get sexually burntout before the age of 16, or you'll have no sex drive for years to come. though, it might help you think clearer. with all this extra time, there's a good chance you'll amount to something. there's also a chance that you'll just grow to despise everyone & end up alone for the rest of your life. oh yeah!:D:beer:

yeah this past summer i was working full time for my dads construction company, saving money has now become a hobbie of mine, i think one thing i want to work on in this next year (as a new year goal or whatever) is to have a strong workethic, drop all the laziness.
