Honestly ask yourself if you have any regrets. Dig deep.<\/p>\n

Of course you do!<\/p>\n

Here are some of mine:<\/p>\n

I regret that I never dressed up wild in high school.<\/strong> I did a few envelope pushing things like dye a strip of tiger orange along the side of my head (thank you Lady Beautiful Upper Lip Bleach) or apply 100 tiny gold saftey pins to the lapel of a 3rd hand tux jacket. But I would eventually revert back to nice middle class kid shirt and jeans.<\/p>\n

I regret that I never tried to bag my best friend in high school. <\/strong>He’s a cop now. That would have fueled so many masturbatory fantasies…<\/p>\n

I regret not taking more drugs.<\/strong> The worst I’ve ever done was acid (twice), an “E” in the mid 90’s and The odd toke at a party. That’s it. I’m uncomfortable outside my skin but yet I can’t help feel that I’ve missed some sort of Hunter S Thompson-esque kind of spiritual revelation other than “HOLY SHIT MOM IS GOING TO KILL ME IF SHE FINDS OUT I’M HIGH”<\/p>\n

I regret every illicit chemical I ever put into my body. <\/strong>Every time I did do drugs, I hated all but one moment of my entire drug experience. Once, while at a bar, on one of those hits of acid, the beer bottle I had in the washroom stall with me while I peed, arched it’s back and sighed. That’s the best I can describe it. Every other time, I wanted down far too soon before the body had flushed whatever it was processing.<\/p>\n

I regret not being more social.<\/strong> I’m not a “tons of friends” kind of guy and I’ve made my peace with that, but I see people with hoards of friends and wonder where I went wrong. I bathe. Usually, I have one or two really close friends at a time and then move on. I don’t know how people with a million aquaintences can handle that-brain like a rolodex, remembering every detail of their first to last meeting.<\/p>\n

I regret certain things I’ve said in social situations<\/strong>. Like “Wow, you’ve worn nicer things,” or “Is that all?”<\/p>\n

I regret not learning another language.<\/strong> I tried. I really tried to learn French when I lived in Ottawa. I got pretty good too (If you count actual French tourists laught at me while I directed them to a nice restaurant as “pretty good” then you and I are friends). But it didn’t stick.<\/p>\n

I regret buying that Blueberry Mac.<\/strong> Next time,\u00c2\u00a0 I’m going to wait until the geekboys spend the time and money to iron out the bugs.<\/p>\n

I regret not kissing Sharkboy goodnight last night.<\/strong> Must. Never. Forget. To. Appreciate. Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
