If given the choice of changing something in the past or having the chance to gaze into the future, I would chose the latter. What has happened has happened and I have learned to deal with everything. People that thrive on the past are pathetic, because there are plenty of ways to deal or correct their situation. They are just too caught up with their petty problems to see this!
Anyways, I think that looking into the future would be a lot more beneficial, as it will show me what I have to accomplish to get to where I want to be in the future. My path will be set out for me, making my life a lot easier. I won't make a wrong turn, or make a poor decision. I would know what has to be accomplished.
I can also see what I have to look forward to. Knowing myself, I will probably not be in a sad situation, as I am far too intelligent to let myself get caught in something like that. Thus, I do not have to worry about possibly seeing something in the future that will upset me. Instead, I will see all of the things that I have to look forward to. Adventures, challenges, relaxing, you name it! I will see it all and I will become eager and excited to be at that point one day.
As I have previously stated, this event would be a blessing. Why not see what is to come? Besides, if you see something you don't like, you can begin to change yourself so that the future will be different. It's undoubtedly positive, and an opportunity I would take full advantage of!

Dylan the Old Geezer
I wake up and my arthritis in my hands is immediately painful. I am an 85 year old man, and I feel that I have lead a fulfilling life. Since I feel that I have served a meaningful purpose on the earth, I do not feel guilty to take a few steps back and resort to some more "savage" behaviour. Now, when I say "savage", I do not mean anything like burning down buildings, or pillaging vilages. I mean activities that seem barbaric for the elderly.
A first activity I like to participate in as soon as I wake up is taking off my clothes and dancing around. I need to take off my clothes anyways to get ready for my bubble bath, and so I might as well do somethign worthwhile. Besides, I am proud that my body has held up so well over 85 years, and I think I deserve the chance to showcase its beauty.
Secondly, after my dance party, I take my bubble bath. However, this is not an oridinary bubble bath. Instead of filling the tub with the usual "Johnson and Johnson" product, I use a more enjoyable product. I prefer to fill my tub with "Pop Rocks", as I find the sound very comforting in my old age, as it reminds me as to how lucky I am to still have my hearing intact. I guess that it is not actually a bubble bath though.
After my bath, I spend hours sitting on my porch making fun of the people that I see. I enjoyed this activity when I was a young whipper-snapper, howevever this cynical hobby would often offend people and get me into a lot of trouble. However, now that I am elderly, no one takes offense to my comments as they view me as a "cute" old man. What used to get me comments such as "What a jerk!", now give me comments like "Aww, isn't he cute?", just awesome.
My final daily activity involves my meal preparation, or lack there of. Being that I am 85, I do not have much concern over my health. It is not like I can really extend my life any longer, and so I might as well enjoy any food I wish. Thus, my dinner usually involves a call to the pizza or chinese guy, followed by a delivery of a personalized cake straight from the bakery! Don't I know how to "woop" it up in my golden years?
85 and living the dream! What else could I possibly want or need?
