I've had 27 concussions (various reasons), and my short-term memory is shit, but other than that, no lasting issues (so far).

Do you ever think maybe you're not making the best life choices?

I did a lot of drugs and extreme sports in my teenage years, plus several freak accidents. My life is awesome now, and I'm extremely happy with how everything turned out, so I wouldn't take any of it back.

My life would be different, and I don't want anything to change what I have going for me now.

Meh, I don't want to live forever.
