What's the best thing that has ever happened to you?

Re: What's the best thing that has EVER happened to you?
 

Nice thread.

Sports-wise, it was the roller coaster ride of last season. Sure, I was alive and remember the Skins Super Bowl win in 1991, but wasn't anywhere near the freak that I am now.

In general, the trip I took with Gmanc and Daseal up to Canada prior to getting engaged ranks as one of my favorite memories. It was spontaneous as hell and I ended up hanging out with people I previously had met once. I've taken some random midnight trips during college about 300-400 miles away for the hell of it before, and those rank right up there.

I wasn't thinking sportswise, but if we're going to go down that road as well, I'd have to say the Red Sox unbelievable comeback vs the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS, and when we went on to win the series. I had season tickets for years, and went through every bad season. I lived that curse. I am probably a bigger Skins fan, but that curse lived huge in the minds of Red Sox fans.
I had tickets to game 6 (we swept) but I was there for the Parade. And even though it was drizzly and poor weather, over 3.5 million showed up. In fact I am in the 2005 Red Sox year book with my wife, a friend, my brother, and his (now) wife, cheering as the duck boats went by.

I'll do personally later...I still have to think about it.

It's corny as all get out, but my family. When I think about where I would be right now without my wife and son, it actually scares me.

Nothing corny about that man...when you break it down to what you actually have, only family is always there.

Re: What's the best thing that has EVER happened to you?
 

Easy.

I went to the Dallas game in DC this year. We had 1st row seats in the end zone (not dream seats), where the winning field goal was kicked. It was my first Redskins home game, and it was so completely unbelievable. Afterwards I saw a kick-ass concert, The Black Keys, at the 930 club. That definitely ranks up there as one of the best concerts I've ever been to. I flew into town the night before the game, and flew out the morning after. It was basically a power packed Sunday full of great times. I'll never forget it.

Re: What's the best thing that has EVER happened to you?
 

I'll just go sportswise, since I dont even know where to start as far as just overall things in life....

My 21st Birthday was one of the greatest days of my life, easily. Went down to FedEx for the Redskins/Panthers game. I brought just about all my best friends down for the game with me and my parents and just had an unbelivable time, saw a great game and a great win.

Otherwise, as crazy as last year was; I've never flipped out like I did after we beat Dallas this year.

Re: What's the best thing that has EVER happened to you?
 

My wife and son are the two easy ones. Joining the military is a good #2 mainly because it got my head screwed on straight.

The first time I got laid.

Re: What's the best thing that has EVER happened to you?
 

Finding this site....

Seriously though, a lot of great things that it's hard to pick just one. Most recently the birth of my niece this past August. Unfortunately, she was born quite ill and still has a long road to recovery but she's awesome. I'm really enjoying my responsibilities as the "cool uncle" who showers her with gifts.

I wish I could see her more often to help raise her beyond just bringing fun toys for her though. It's the one thing I really miss about having moved away from home. I mean I don't have any kids of my own but it's really amazing what a grip a little baby can have on your life. I'm sure all parents here know what I'm talking about. You see that little baby and all you want to do is take care of her (or him). Ok, I'm done rambling now

Re: What's the best thing that has EVER happened to you?
 

This is going to be a theme for a lot of people:

1 tie) The birth of my daughter two months ago. Hard to describe what it feels like to see the little tyke pop out and get placed on my wife's belly.

1 tie) Day I got married.

Other proud/fond moments that don't quite compare, but are still pretty cool:

The day I got a hole-in-one
My honeymoon in Aruba
The 'Skins 22-19 win over Dallas this year - I've been to three Redskins games in my life, and this happened to be one of em.
Graduating from college
Graduating from grad school
Buying my house
The day I the wife and I got our dog. Dogs really are great - immediate member of the family and best friend.
The day when I was 8 years old and caught a foul ball off the bat of Mike Schmidt at a Phillies game.

My wife and I feel the same way about our dogs. We have 2 Basset Hounds, and they make us laugh daily. Great dogs, and totally a part of my family.

Re: What's the best thing that has EVER happened to you?
 

Oddly enough, marrying my wife was not the best thing that happened to me at the time. I got there early, and the church was locked, it was 115 degrees outside and I was in a black tux. I turn out to be the best decision I ever made though...it will be 10 years of Marriage in May.

Re: What's the best thing that has EVER happened to you?
 

My 9 yr old daughter - is the best and she loves football!
Sitting in the corner of the endzone in 1983 in Pasendena about 10 rows up from Mr. T and watching big John run for the victory! (Yes, I was there)
Sitting in RFK and watching about 50 home games during my teenage years
Sitting at my uncle's house watching movies with Rusty Tillman and other Redskin players (my uncle used to do some work for the skins)

Re: What's the best thing that has EVER happened to you?
 

Best thing is finding my wife, marrying my wife, and living our lives together. It's just an incredible feeling.

However, I just feel blessed to have the people I do have in my life, whether it's family, friends, work, message boards. Life is just a great ride, and I'm glad to be ridin' along. Just livin'. L-I-V-I-N'

Re: What's the best thing that has EVER happened to you?
 

1. Kids. Both of them. They saved me and taught me more about myself than I ever would've found out on my own.

2. On my 7th birthday all Iwanted was a huffy bike with these cheesy white plastic hubcaps on the wheels. They were solid white. I saw the bike in wal mart and fell in love.

The bike was like 65 bucks, and we weren't well off, but my mom bought it for me and that saturday I took it to a local bike show and bought a raffle ticket with 10 bucks of my B-day money and won a 500 dollar GT stunt bike, with all the pegs and a braking system that allowed you to spin the handlebars all the way around without getting the wires crossed...

That was the most excited I think I had been in my life...


My first time I got laid I was watching the little mermaid with my girlfriend and had no Idea what I was doing and just stopped, because I was so freakin nervous I couldn't do anything lol....

The second time was much better....

actually the second time was a couple of hours later, but we put in dazed and confused... I think that helped.. lol...

Re: What's the best thing that has EVER happened to you?
 

1. Re-dedicating my life to Christ at the age of 20.

2. Marrying my husband. 12 years and still going strong.

3. Meeting Joe Gibbs.

Re: What's the best thing that has EVER happened to you?
 

Best sports thing for me was attending the triple overtime Penn State Orange Bowl victory last year, and then taking over Miami with about 100 thousand hooligans afterwards. Also, the Penn State/ Nebraska game in 02 (PSU 40-7, revenge for 94) and the Ohio State game last year were both amazing, just because the town blew it's top. Last year after the OSU game there were probably 5,000 people in white shirts in Beaver Canyon just raging. Third would be the Skins/ Dallas game last year. Actually, it sucks to say but I don't really have too many great sports memories after the age of 11, when the Skins won their last superbowl. But, let me say this here, watch the f out for Penn State and the Skins next year.

Getting probation instead of jail time.

This thread is depressing as hell.

Re: What's the best thing that has EVER happened to you?
 

finding out that i got into UMD. not that it wasn't a big deal but i sorta figured i was getting in. Also, i basically knew i was going to go there since i was a freshman in high school, so it wasn't a huge surprise but at the time it was a great relief. And TAF made me this thread [URL]http://www.thewarpath.net/redskins-warpath-parking-lot/11101-saden1-presents-official-congratulations-bsb-getting.html[/URL]


I guess the best thing to ever happen to me hasn't happened to me yet.

Re: What's the best thing that has EVER happened to you?
 

Basically if you are jewish and from NJ you can get into UMD

Re: What's the best thing that has EVER happened to you?
 

I once found $20 floating in a river when I was 13 years old. I was standing waist deep in the water and it floated right in front of me. I'll bet I had never even seen a $20 bill up until that point (very poor growing up). I doubt I'll ever find or win anything that will make me feel that lucky ever again. Maybe if I win a million dollars but that's about what it felt like to me at the time.

I pitched a no-hitter in a high school baseball game once...alas it was the worst thing ever also as I walked the first batter in the last inning, errors got the next two guys on to load the bases and then I hit the cleats (the cleats!!) of the next batter walking in the game winning run as we lost 1-0.

Damn, that sucks.
I threw a 1 hitter once, and it was 2 outs in the 9th when it happened. I had walked only 1 to that point too...but we won the game 12-0. It was amazing to almost get it, and it sucked to be 1 out away and blow it.
It would have sucked worse to lose the game to boot. SOrry man.

Are you sure you were not bowling instead of pitching? Your Pops showed me a pic.
