Mistakes you look back and kick yourself for

Sounds like the two of you match there as well. Such a lovely couple. ^_^

Heh. They accidentally cut off the top part of your body in that picture. Typical of group photos I guess.

Horses ass. ha. Almost as funny as the B.O. rail lines.

Bunch of comedians around here.

Not investing in Yahoo! or Google. I was really close to buying large amounts of shares of both at the IPO but I never pulled the trigger. I probably would have held on to them too long though if I did buy them. I think I did pick up google through a mutual fund, but the percentage of that share was such an insignificant amount it didn't make a difference.

Yankees offered me tryouts as a pitcher. I was going to Hawaii with twins that week. needless to say the wrong head made the decision to goto Hawaii.

Yes had a great time w/the girls, but now i have WHATIF for the rest of my life. renting girls are a dime a dozen nowadays

HAHA! My brother in law was beeing scouted in highschool by the White Socks and Tigers (he was a beast to bat against in Little League when i faced him one time). He was very, very good. He ended up knocking up my sister when they were 15. He went with the family life, no college... no baseball.

sucks for him.


As for me, i had a lot of regrets. Most ive gotten over since my life has tured out decently. Biggest regret is wasting most of my good years on the computer and nintendo. ah well.

I have one regret - getting Arnold pregnant.

Not doing that thing to that girl at work when she was all over me. Oh ya, there was that other one too. And the one now who gave me her e-mail, cell and bbm... wonder what she's up to... I'm learning!

Buying F, MSFT, BAC and SU. Thank god for blue chips cause I wouldn't be 10% down otherwise.

The things I regret are also the things that made me the man I am today so I am kind of torn about regretting them at all. Here they are though:

-Enlisting in the Army rather than the Marine Corps becuase of the GI Bill (note - I do NOT regret enlisting at all)
-Trying to go to back to school after working in the "world" for a year and understanding the business of business
-Getting involved with a women I met in California and Texas
-Getting addicted to alcohol and other mind altering substances while overseas (been clean and sober for 20 years now though)
-my first time

Going to a crappy college, picking the wrong major and not taking it seriously.
It all worked out though...

I'll bet ya do it again. Nothing like stepping in the shit twice.

yeah you're probably right, but I would try to learn from my mistake and get to know her a lot better first.

I regret having been a "nice guy" for so long, and for always seeing the best in people and assuming that most people have noble intentions. I used to think that being "nice" would eventually pay off for me in the long run.

As soon as I stopped living in this sugar coated image of people and society, the better off I was, the less I got manipulated and used. My sex life also got much better as I stopped being an emotional tampon and friend zoned.

I'm glad that I have realized this in my twenties rather than latter, but sooner would have been better, say 10 years earlier while still in my teens.

Totaled a brand new car I got for my birthday shortly after getting it.

I was a new driver and decided one night in poor weather (windy and overcast) to try and show my friend a short cut that I found to get to school.

Since I had only driven it FROM the school, I was not familiar with the way TO the school, wound up on the wrong road (gravel, windy, poor vision) that ended in a huge reinforced steel fence, rolled car, the end.

Luckily we were uninjured (could have been MUCH worse), but I still regret taking that drive that day.

Interesting enough I have a similar regret. I had $5000 to purchase Yahoo stock (about 15 years ago) and had my finger on the "buy" button. I talked myself out of it. If I had bought at that time and sold at the peak (not likely but ...), I would have turned the $5,000 to $795,000.
