Lets say you where doing whatever you normally do and wammo you suddenly where two years in the future.

What would be the first things you'd do?

I think I'd call a relative and hear if they have trown my stuff away yet

That would depend on whether I knew if I was going to get to go back or not. If I knew I was going back I'd buy every newspaper, world almanac, etc. I could get my hands on - first thing I'd do when I got back - take me and my little library to Las Vegas and watch the money role in!

I'd go have a beer.

Next I'd go to the TFP and restart an account (probably at 0 posts)

Then I'd have to have another beer to celebrate a better job market - cause it can't get any worse than the one we are in now, right? Right?

Finally, I'd have enough beers to go steal my girlfriend back from whichever of you jerks been seein her.

I'd probably find an almanac or a book that listed major events in the news. Then I'd probably try to find a friend to get me updated on stuff.

First thing I'd do would be to look out the window quickly to see if we have jet cars yet.

After the disappointment I'd probably call everyone I know and make sure they didn't think I was dead, although explaining what just happened would probably make them throw me in an insane asylum.

Then I'd call everyone I owe money to and explain to them that I just warped two years into the future and they should just rewind the bills back to the 2003 numbers. I'm sure they'd do it, they're reasonable people.

I'd also have to see who the president is, and get some sort of quick review of the major events of the past two years.

Then I'd realize I'm 21 in this timeframe, and go grab a legal beer.

First I would find the SOB that took two years of my
life that I hold precious, and kick the living shit out of him....

If I was going back, definitely check the news to see what I should invest in. Then I'd load up on all sorts of fun toys to bring back and sell for craploads of money.

If I wasn't going to go back in time, then I think I'd try and piece together my life again. And maybe grab a drink on the way... I'd be done on the isoniozid, and also I'd be 22, so I could get it legally

ah a paradox......lets say you go into the future and see that Almagamated T Clips is $55 a share , up from $5 dollars previously 2 years in the past. You back to your original time, sell your house and car and buy ATC at $5 a share and wait. Little do you know that you've just screwed the space time continuim. The CEO of ATC instead of working hard and creating a great company that you know of in 2 years takes the sudden increase in stock at an omen, goes to the track and loses all his earnings, bankrupting ATC. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

If I instantly jumped 2 years ahead I would instantly be pissed! I'm still 20 years old and have finished college already so I never got to go to the bar at 21 and get piss drunk...and I can't wait until I turn 21 in October. Then I would buy some almanacs, and if I was going back I would go get it on with any girl I wanted since if I'm going back into the past any trace of a child would disapear since as soon as I go into the past the future will be undone(hopefully),

If I knew I was going back I would stock up on all the winning loto numbers then become filthy rich, buy an island and spend the rest of my days lazing on my beach drinking margaritas.
Is that wrong?!

In 2 years I hope to own my own home or have a firm grasp on the place and type of restaurant I want to open. Did I actually answer the question? I hope in 2 years I won't be doing the same thing.
