Not accepting First Choice's (was that his name?) offer to help him dj a dance at my middle school.

Not fucking Michelle Fernandes.

Staying in TO with my sound crew for years after I had wanted to leave and travel. (finally got to though, still work for it, just don't have to stay in Toronto)

Smoking waaay to much smokey-smoke-happy-feel and thereby wasting maaad time. (you know)

Pussing out when some dudes gave my friend a cocoa bump.

BT

ps The original guy never posted his... you should man, it's your idea.

All of my top 5 regrets are about women I could have slept with but didn't.

At least they have no regrets.

Not telling one of my closest childhood friends that her father tried to molest me when I was in the 6th grade. I found out that he ended up doing the same thing to her a few years later and it really f---ed her up, (not that it didn't F--- me up,but I got away). I did tell my parents, but I never told her-things could have been different if I had.

In no particular order:

1) I regret loaning 600,000w to a co-teacher in March this year (2 weeks before I was leaving), and to this day, am still owed most of it.

2) I regret selling my PC to the other co-teacher at the same hagwon as regret #1, and to this day, am still owed most of it.

3) I regret breaking the promise to myself that I'd not lend money to 'friends' in good faith.

4) I regret not finding Van Islanders posts about his/her job location and trying to find work there - because from what I've since read, I could have been breathing some fresh(er) air into my lungs as opposed to the shit Im breathing that has had be coughing since September.

5) I regret the fact that at midnight on a Saturday, I am sitting here, tiddly at my PC ... and right now don't have a soul to call to even watch funny youtube shit with.

I should have paid more attention in school. Korean kids doing math in two seconds while I'm still counting fingers is embarrassing

I should have asked out those girls I was too shy to. Girls only bite when they're not careful.

I should have taken care of my body when I was younger. Now I got one of those "Old man" knees with which I can tell when a storm is a comin'

I should have chosen another art rather than comics to focus on. At the time, it seemed like there was no stopping it. Who knew Nintendo was going to come along and render it obsolete?

All the stuff I'm doing now like photography and guitar... I should have taken those up when I arrived in Korea all those years ago instead of waiting until what looks like my last year here.

None so far. There've been tough decisions and a few figurative tears shed at things I wanted but had to let go. But that's not a regret; that's the price you pay. Well, it's the price I've paid, and life is good so no, no regrets.

This is me, too, but I don't regret it a second. Yeah, my doctor's file during school (high and uni) was an inch thick, but I had way too much fun to regret any part of it.

Only one regret: not going to the Olympics (lightweight rowing) when given the chance

Correction, two regrets:

A friend dropped out of uni and went to do the teaching in Japan thing back in the late 80's. I was still a freshman. Crazy in love with her, but she didn't know it. I decided I was going to tell her DAMMIT and screw the consequences. Since she landed in Greece and was going to tour her way to Japan, I flew to Greece to confront her. Landed at the airport, chickened out, and took the first flight back. She still doesn't know to this day that I followed her. I was a fucking coward with my heart back then, and I still regret it. Especially knowing now how her life and failed marriage turned out (married a guy from India, had a daughter there, and said daighter was kidnapped by her husband, then he had my friend deported so she couldn't fight for custody)

I've read some of these. Mine is by far the worst story. Still need to find reefer.
