Nah, that is not misspent youth


it is a story to tell your grand kids when you are in a nursing home.

I have no kids by choice, but am the fun Uncle who has 30+ nephews, nieces, grand nephews, and grand nieces. I would come in to town, and my nieces would cancel plans so they can party with Uncle Doug. I guess I got it from my Uncle Jim.

Work friggin hard, but party harder. They tell me they want to be like Uncle Doug and their deceased Uncle Ray. I tell them go for it, but realize that

1) Uncle Ray partied at Mr. Fooz like no one ever did but graduated in Chemical Engineering with a 3.0

2) Uncle Doug graduated in CS major, minor in math with a overall 3.4 GPA and a 3.8 GPA in his math and CS while being a friggin long hair dude wearing steel toe boots working while in college and graduated in less than 4 years. To boot, Uncle Doug lived the seventies and early eighties doing way more than alcohol.

Be proud of your youth, seems to me you were an early entrepreneur and made some cash while some fools wasted their money on a bet. Good for you.
