Because these sorts of topics are usually good for a larf.
Firstly, if you could go back in time, and visit your former self, (you being your current age, going back physically that is), what time period would it be, why would you go then, and what would you do?
Secondly, if you could go foward in time, when, why, and what would you do?
Personally I'd go back 4 years and tell myself to never work in the Retail sector. Then I'd go forward and tell any possible kids to never work in the Retail sector. It really does blow :[
Then for fun I'd just go around making a bunch of paradoxes~

I'd go back around February of last year and tell myself, "Don't fall for it."
I'd then go into the future just to go sleep with myself check out all of the chrome and lasers everywhere.

If I went back in time, I'd go back to August and tell myself a) not to fall for the Lab Aiding offer that they would give me, and b) that Band was going to blow this year.
If I could go into the future, I'd find the year where both the Sabres win the Stanley Cup and the Raiders win the Super Bowl.

I would go back to the times of WWII and go to England while it's getting bombed. It would be exciting. :D And Brits have the most amazing accent and Winston Churchill was cool.
But if I were to visit myself, I would go back to when I was in second grade and tell myself that "shut up" is not a swear word. I would also tell myself that my second grade teacher's hair was a whig and give myself elaborate instructions on how to knock the whig off.
Man, I hated second grade.
But for the future, I'd go forward in time to grab the latest in pyro-technology and then bring it back. And see if my town has anymore Asian girls my age around; so far the count is: zero.
And then I'd teach a computer how to love. With dancing. And it would be the most perfect computer ever.

Simple, I would go back to when I was in the 4th Grade, and tell myself NOT to ride the bike downhill at my cousin Rob's house, so my left eye wouldn't be so bad like it is now, I can see hardly anything in that eye. DX

I'd got back in time to about april, tell myself a load of stuff that'll happen to pre-emtive strike stuff, and tell myself how I draw now so I can improve more, and repeat untill I'm awesome.
Then I'd go forward, get Halo 3 and a 360, go back to about now and let Halo fanboys bask in my infinite glory and give me royalties. Just for kicks and giggles.

If it was possible, i'd go back to relive my best moments of my past life (or observe them, whatever).
Then i'd go forward in time to the day(s) where i finally get to meet my friends from here and other places i go to.

I'd go back in time when I was skinny XD. Gosh, it was fun being like 130 pounds and 5 ft. 9 in.

I would go back to about three years ago when I was first making my Blitzz the Monkey game. And then try to get myself to actually finish it. It's been so long since I've actually done much work on a large project. (It's been so long that the page has all the images broken. Heh, guess that's what happens when you let your domain expire) ...And then I'd go forward in time to when I actually finish and release a large game. Which may be years from now...

If I could go back in time, I would probably go back to when I was starting to be a teen, and I would tell myself to stop giving my family all the crud that they didn't deserve ^^. I would also tell myself to exercise more, and then I would go ahead a couple of years, when I was 16, and tell myself to get a job instead of wait so freakin' long << >>.
If I could go in the future, I would go ahead about 5 years, and see if I achieved the career path I desired for XD. I would also make sure I was married to Angela ^^.

if I could go back in time I would go back to the point where my mum and dad were deciding to have children, I'd run into the room and slap my dad across the head and mess up my mums hair and yell "I'M YOUR SON FROM THE FUTURE!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!" then run away screaming back to the present day.

I would go back to the first grade and teach myself how to undo a belt so I didn't pee myself again.
I would go forward to age 21,so people would start treating me like a human,and not ask my mom questions about me,instead of directly asking them to my face.

Hmmm... I would probably have some fun in the past, make it so monkies ruled the world because I squished a fly or sumfin' like that. I would prevent all rollercoaster related injuries. Roller coaster rides don't like me. DX (I got a cuncussion 2 or 3 times from the Wild Cat, seat buckels didn't work on Boulder Dash, tell myself not to eat that fried dough, tell myself I would get stuck upside down on a loop)
I would also prevent the time I hurt my knee so I had to get surgery and can't run without pain. D:
I would prevent all the times I fell down the stairs... ah, good times, good times...
I would tell myself not to be so damn shy in grades 3-6. DX
Tell myself that the answer to number 7 is 42.
I would go to the future to prevent my future knee surgeries the doctors say that I will need. D:
I would see where I got in life.
I want to see if I make it to that fancy art highschool next year. 98% of kids that go there go to college and get great jobs with art.
I will most certainly confront my older slef with many, many questions. She/I will probably believe me because hopfull she/I will remember what I am posting right now. TRIPLE BONUS MULTIPLIER ! ! Or she'll think I'm nuts. Really nuts...
I would she who I am married too since I do plan on it and see if he's a total jerk so I'll know not to marry him since my family is known for many, many divorces in short ammount of time. :<

I really don't know if I'd go and prevent something from happening yet, because if I had gotten it fixed earlier, I wouldn't be so great at video games. I also wouldn't have spent so much time reading books and everything else I could get my hands on. If anything I'd tell myself to watch my mouth, since that's landed me in trouble on numerous occasions =P Well, a lot of bad things that have happened to me worked out in the end. "The End" could be months or years later, mind you.
I would go to the future and grab one of those nifty world almanacs so I could see who would win sports games and stuff and then go back to the present and bet on those as they came, haha.

Yeah I'd definitely take a little trip backwards and convince myself to not take Chemistry, it's not worth it, and that the professor says things along the lines of "Well you all took chemistry in High school, so we'll just skip that stuff and head right into Quantum Mechanics."

Hmm.. I'd go back in time and tell my really, really small self to not put that cat in the fridge, or that dog in the washing machine.. >>;
Then I'd go forward for about 10 years to see how the videogame business is running then. TRIPLE BONUS MULTIPLIER ! !

Hmmmm, if I could go back in time I would tell myself one of two things: 1.) Just go for it!!!!!! OR 2.) When you pick up the phone and you are asked to join a certain, let's call it "organization"... just say no, don't be so nice, just say no.
As for the future, I suppose I would just want to see what the future was like, whether history had repeated itself or not, etc.
