When thinking about the opportunity to go back in time, my first instinct was to pick a point in my life that I could go back and change, in the hopes it would alter the course of all the bad things that have happened since. But I realized that changing those bad times would change me as well. Out of some of the worst moments in my life have come the greatest blessings. I don’t want to take back those moments, because they shaped me into the person I am today, and I will be the first to tell you that I’m pretty awesome!
So, where would I like to go? I have always been a huge history buff. But there is one era in history that I have studied more than any others. I want to go to Ancient Egypt, say around 2600 BC, and meet the great Imhotep. He was an architect and engineer, said to be responsible for the design of the earliest known pyramid. He was a commoner who was given divine status after death; something typically reserved for much higher men.
The fact these ancient people were able to build such an incredible civilization, make such advancements in medicine, and have the insight to yearn to live for eternity, is awe-inspiring. So much of what was achieved has been lost. I would love to find one thing; just one achievement from that time, that could help people in modern times. Perhaps they had a cure for cancer, or various other diseases? Or a mechanical invention that could make our modern buildings stronger? Or maybe they truly hold the secret to eternal life? I say let’s go find out. It would help to fulfill a second lifelong dream of mine: to make a serious, lasting impact on society. (Okay, who am I kidding? I really just want to be famous!)
Because who wouldn’t want to be immortal?
#TMPTuesday
Posted @ 3/31/2010 12:52:00 PM by Brad Milner
#TMPTuesday also saw the creation of TM Points Roulette. It's simple. I pick six amounts of TM Points and select six Peopleopians to play. They pick a number and get the corresponding point value.
@rab1973 @tentativelydori @ACDClvr @HD_Blitzn @tattooedmomof3 @molliemoon played on Tuesday and took away a combined 48 points.
It's great fun. Hope to see ya'll next time.
Another day, another standings

I think the opportunity to go back and time would be insanely beneficial to me. I am, admittedly, pretty self-centered. Most people would want to go back to an unbelievably awesome historical event, just to witness its greatness. Not me. I want to go back to my 11th birthday – because that WAS an awesome historical event, to me.
At 11, I was still young and fairly innocent – untouched by any negative outside influences – besides the fact that my father was a raging alcoholic, and my mother, a crack head. HOWEVER, I, personally, had not yet engaged in any badly chosen activities. I didn’t think I want to. Did I want to turn out like my parents? Did I want to make my own mistakes, nevertheless? Abso-freaking-lutely.
Given the opportunity to time travel and see my younger self, I would take her out for a salad and have a little chat that might change her and, ultimately, my future in a very drastic way. What would I tell my young and impressionable self? Well…
1) Your vagina is more precious than you will understand until much later in your life, which is why I need you to abstain from sex until you are at least 18 years old. You can still have sex with Jerry though, but, be advised, your son Quincey will be the result of that union. You will be a single mother, to a beautiful child. Here’s a picture. See? Don’t have sex with anyone else. Ever. They’re all evil.
2) Drugs are BAD. They’re bad and they will eat your brain cells. I promise. Ask me a question. (….) I have no idea. See! Don’t touch them. The people that are doing them might look cool to you; however, in 13 years they will be working at McDonald’s part-time, taking home $24 every two weeks because their fines and child support are deducted from their checks. Good luck living on that, bud.

Testing the Time Machine
Posted @ 3/05/2010 04:40:00 PM by Brad Milner
Aside from the minor adjustments here and there, the machine is running smoothly. I have tested it out on several occasions, taking what I like to call "minute trips." You see, with a Time Machine, you can from and back to any point in time.
However, many may not know that there's a slight disconnect if you leave from and come back to the same time. Sorry, Back to the Future, but it gives me a mean headache and bad deja vu. So, I leave and come back a minute later. Easy as pie.
For your viewing pleasure, more standings
