Probably moving to Alberta in 2001. Of course, I'm back in Ontario, but spending four years in between Calgary and Edmonton...was totally AWESOME and I can't wait to head back there again next month.
Deciding to stay in Cleveland for college instead of going to Boston or 'Cuse. Because of that, I maintained a friendship with my future wife.

Going to a meeting of the PR Club my third day of high school. That got me interested in television, and is what I'm going to major in in college starting in a week.
"He is the most overrated piece of crap in the league. He bitched and whined after he got his ass beaten in New England last year, so the NFL changed the rules. Then he got his ass beaten in New England again. Every year he's the top MVP candidate. Every year he's supposed to be the best. Every year he's going to carry the Colts to the Super Bowl. And every single year he goes to New England and gets his ass beaten. And his brother's a whiny little bitch." -A friend of mine, on Peyton Manning
Being 17 (almost 18), moving from Portland, OR (where my Dad was) to Seattle (where no one was) to take a job. It made me "grow up" being out on my own and I'm still in the same field, job-wise.
Also, not letting the 200 or so miles between Portland and Seattle keep me from hooking up with the then-future-Mrs. JJD.

Going in the Army out of High School rather than straight to College. I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do, so I got paid to think about it and play at being a warrior/cop for three years. By the time I got out, I knew.
We'll be back right after order has been restored here in the Omni Center.
When I was in college, I was Pre-Med. I am very very glad that I realized before the end of college that my brain is NOT wired properly to be a physician. Of course, I will now spend the rest of my life wondering what I should be doing with life, but I am still much happier NOT trying to be a doctor.
(Not that I stood a chance in hell getting into med school... But at least I didn't waste time trying. Did I mention that medical schools want 50 to 100 dollars just to read your school application?)
Allowing my ex-girlfriends mother to talk me into allowing her to pull some strings and get me into the environmental lab where she was a secretary at. I started at the very bottom (lab tech assistant), and over the years I have worked myself up to the title of "Chemist 2" without ever having to aquire a 4-year degree in Chemistry. All the other employees there have to have a 4-year degree in Chemistry, where as I just had a wimpy little 2-year degree in Biological Science.

I had a great sandwich the other day at Quizno's that ranks right up there...
Just kidding. My best decision is deciding to go after another guy's girlfriend. That's how I first hooked up with my current wife.
Big Show: Why is he getting the Intercontinental Title shot and not me? RVD: Ahhh...maybe 'cause you're a tool. Big Show: Look. I am 7'2". I am 500 pounds. I'm a giant. RVD: Oh ok. You're a giant tool.
My freshman year of high school dropping WRestling in favor of doing the musical. It opened tons of doors to talents and interests I never knew I had, namely in the realm of acting and singing.
