I should have added this to the mix of what I "could" have done differently back in the day:

I should have gone into radio broadcasting which was a huge dream of mine from a very young age. I've always been intrigued by music and anything in the entertainment industry. It's definitely in my blood.

My grandfather was an actor back in the day and I also came from a somewhat musically inclined family. I'm not too sure why I didn't pursue any of my dream. I believe it was my lack of confidence at the time. You get to an age where you graduate high school and in the real world many things around you become overwhelming and it was difficult to make certain decisions. Instead I chose the Corporate world ugh...

People say you can pursue anything at any age, but...it isn't that easy when you need a steady job and put food on your table. I'm too old for the industry now especially broadcasting because you need to start out from a very young age and do all sorts of internships, and you are way at the bottom of the barrel. But, in my heart I'll always have those broadcasting dreams.

Since i'm on the topic of should have, would have, could have, I'd also like to mention that I wanted to become a police officer. I passed my officer's exam a very long time ago. I didn't pursue the academy because of back/neck issues and at the time and figured it wasn't worth putting my life on the line especially when you need to be in good "physical" shape and be up against all kinds of shapes/sizes of folks. I was bummed but had to make a choice and did what I thought was the right thing at that time. Plus, maybe it's a good thing that didn't happen, imagine me with a gun?
