Your Own Personal Biff Tannen

February 17, 2010

In the movie Back to the Future, George McFly punches Biff at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance and it turns his whole life around.  In fact, it seems as if that moment of glory was the key moment of what would become the successful George McFly life. 

So, my question for you, in your life, who is your Biff Tannen?  If you could have just punched it in the face early enough that it would have corrected your life path to being something better than you have now?

A subquestion, also Back to the Future related, but the whole movie revolves around one key day, November 5, 1955 (30 years ago from when the movie was set, and I learned that if they were to remake BTTF and set it today, if Marty went back in time he same number of years, that he would wind up in 1980…1980 is as quaint and as far away as 1955 was to the minds of 1985…think about that).  Anyway, what’s your one key date?  Do you have a November 5, 1955 in your past where you created the flux capicitor of your personal journey?

What do you think?

    My Biff Tannen moment wouldn’t be a specific date
    but a date in September of 1983 meeting Toni Moreland
    for the first time. She might be around today and I wouldn’t
    not be alone.
