I'm not what you'd call a ladies man.

Last weekend there was a party. I skipped it for no good reason.

My phone is broken, only works sometimes. It wasn't working that night.

Next day I see a bunch of text messages on my phone from different girls.

Next day I find out one in particular went to the party specifically to lay me. This is a 9/10 blonde, would have represented the pinnacle of my fornicating achievements.

So I regret that. And I ordered a new phone.
 
Biggest regret:

turned down an offer from the Yankees for tryouts for being a pitcher. i was going to Hawaii with TWINS during that same week.

and yes the girls were legal in Hawaii (altho not in some other states), thus why i picked that place.

now for years to come, i think what if... 🙁


edit:
and getting my CCNA. what a joke,. everyone wants a CCNP. Might as well gotten the A+ cert. Almost as good as CCNA paywise and no studying to pass

Not banging Kaitlyn in HS, and caring about the wise and beautiful woman who shall not be named.

That $800 P4 and $500 9700 Pro was a bitch too.
 
Buying a Gameboy Advance one bored weekend. Blew over a hundred bucks and played 2 games before shelving it. Trying to ditch it for $20 on craigslist right now.

Oh, and not growing a pair before last year. Would have made a lot more friends and "friends" that way, had a lot more fun.

ahh.. another regret:
not selling my house during the housing boom when i didnt like my job much. would have made 400% profit. i could have survived 10yrs w/o a job on that $$$!

now my house is just worth double. and i like my new job.

20/20 hindsight

Ah geez. My 'relationship with Christ' was finished with over a course of many years. I am 100% fully content with my decision and have no regret about it in the slightest. I actually feel so much 'free' being honest with the theistic fallacies of Christianity.

Am I being trolled?

Using words like "theistic fallacies" sounds like either you were Mormon/Catholic or you're the troll.
 
Not sticking with baseball, as a teen I led our league in HR's and average, no one could strike me out. Doesn't mean I would have been worth a shit in a higher league but I never found out, at 16 I discovered girls, pot, and beer..ouch..

I don't know, those 100 MB disks were HUGE back in 1995. I still have all my ZIP disks, though I've transferred certain "material" to other media. :awe:
 
Don't worry, little domingo has been busy....

1. Not taking school more seriously
2. One of these: Not marrying my exgirlfriend, or not dumping her early enough. Can't figure out which one I should have done. Ultimately I fucked it all up.
 
Waiting until I was 25 to start college is easiest my biggest regret.

Of course there are plenty of regrets from missed opportunities with girls that I liked in high school.

Dont sweat it. Thats what most Americans did during the start of the new millennium. Bought shit they really couldnt afford. Stuff that depreciates quickly and cannot go up in value, ever.
Of course, we're all paying for it now.
At least you have the good sense to regret your choices.

You don't have me convinced. More importantly I don't think you have God convinced either. No not trolling, just consider me a sign post along your journey.
