I regret to inform you...

...that I've been tagged by Katie Schwatrz. With this tag I am supposed to tell you about 5 things I regret and 5 things I don't regret. Here goes:

1) I regret not doing better in college.
2) I regret smoking as much pot as I did when I was younger.
3) I regret that I did not move to NY to pursue an acting career when I was in my early 20's.
4) I regret I never learned to play a musical instrument.
5) I regret the times I did not speak out against stupidity and injustice when I had the chance.

Wait! I just remembered what Edith Piaf said, "Non, je ne regrette rien." (No, I regret nothing.)



1) I don't regret acting stupid or cracking stupid jokes. Laughter is something the world needs more of and I'm glad I can make people laugh. If folks are laughing then they're not fighting or arguing.
2) I don't regret raising hell in college. The school I went to had been taken over by conservative religious nut bags who wanted everyone to be like Stepford children. I'm damn glad I never bought into their brand of twisted Christianity.
3) I don't regret not seeing most of my family anymore. It took me a long time to realize that most of the people on my father's side of my family are whack jobs who stress me out. I miss seeing my cousin's offspring but if they ever want to see me they know where I live.
4) I don't regret wearing my politics on my sleeve and on the back of my truck. It's a pretty conservative area of TN where I live but as long as I live here I'll be letting others know that I am not a right winger.
5) I don't regret stiffing the credit card companies after my quadruple bypass.


I regret that I'm not going to tag anyone but if you'd like to do this then go ahead.
