The Regret Thread
 

Time for a Regret threat.
Things you regret not having done, decisions you've made, or things you've not taken advantage off.

Doesn't have to be a regret that has put you into a clinical depression with a passion for eating chalk etc. Just little things.

Mine that I can think of:

Not going to see B.B. King in Hanford CA when stationed 10 miles away back in probably 2000. Ticket was $10

Not Taking Guitar lessons from Day one; instead of learning on my own and muscling through stuff the last 20 years.

Not buying stock from my company's employee purchasing program thing when stocks were $1.24; and 3 years later topped out at $18. and after Sprint bout us, all stock options could be exercised immediately.

Getting rid of my Jeep Wrangler.

First in with regret rooting for the Chiefs.

Regretting that Burger to Go lunch yesterday. Christ.

Telling an ex gf to go get F'd, she now does porn.

Wait, wat

If I'm being honest, I don't have much but regrets. Every major decision I've made in my life has been a bad one. I picked the wrong college, picked the wrong major, picked the wrong girl, gave up on a masters degree when I should have followed through (even if it was the wrong major), went too many years without a job, have been stuck in a bad job for too many years, and because of that I have no savings, no retirement, and no real prospects that anything will ever improve, because of all the bad decisions that led me to the point that I am now. And that's without even considering ancillary issues like having no real world friends and never having a family (which I think is also good in many ways). So lots of regrets.

But worst of all....I'm a Chiefs fan.

I regret going to college first and foremost. It's led to the point where I'm literally sitting an internship right now for a resume builder for a career that will only pay me $20k for the first ten years of my professional career -assuming I get hired on salary.

Beyond that I regret being a ****up in sixth grade where I went from an All-A "gifted" student to a lazy, socially awkward ****hole that persisted more or less in some facet all through high school.

I regret giving in and quitting football before my sophomore year. I regret not even trying for JV basketball my freshman year.

I regret not taking advantage of the fact I lived on a golf course and not practicing because if I were only 2/5ths better than what I was in HS, I could've probably gone to state 2-3 seasons and not played like a ****ing Jerry's Kid when I got there.

Oh yeah. Being a Chiefs fan. That's a pretty huge regret too.

I know, right?

Fairly certain she's still doing it out of spite for me, certainly driven but for what?

An egret thread, they're good fishers.

I regret moving here because of the Chiefs/Royals.

Like Ohio was any better?

There isn't enough bandwith.

Ok, well, Keg wins the thread.
