Memories you could live without . . .

Or perhaps you might call them regrets. Got 'em? I have a million. Maybe a million to the infinity power, even. Is that normal?

If you have no regrets then you have not pushed the envelope. I have a few................but they are FEW.

I would love to have been more productive (doing fun things such as skydiving) in my 20s and spent less time smoking that wacky-tabacky and sitting on my rear end with all my other stoner friends of my youth. Who knows, maybe I would have had more success with the women who were in my life at that time (and what was I thinking of sporting that stupid mustache I used to have ... how ugly was that). But we are who we are based on our life experiences and if I was this responsible guy back then, I likely would have married this girl or that girl, had a family and likely never would have become a skydiver. So all is not lost.

Skydiving has been a blessing and a curse to my life (I need to make sure I'm balanced in my life and then skydiving will be a total blessing). But I sure have had a lot of fun since I made that first tandem back in July of 2002 and it's nice to have a website like this around where I can have friends all over the country and the world. All I need to do is visit a DZ (or have these people visit the DZ that I'm at) to make new or renew existing friends. What other normal sport can you do this? Most sports are very localized and isolated to small groups of friends. You really don't get to meet as many people as we get to meet in this sport.

PS: I'm still waiting for you to follow me to Vancouver Keely. But I also have evil thoughts of taking next summer off, obtaining another visitors visa and jumping my ass off like I did this summer. It may not be the best thing for my long term financial retirement needs (I'm thinking it will cost me 25k maybe more to train full time all summer long). But who knows what new doors could be opened because of it. I don't want to be that conservative, career oriented guy any more. I don't want to be foolish, but I do like to take calculated risks.

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

I tend to spend more time regretting the things I didn't do than the things I did do that didn't quite go the way I expected.

You can say that again.

Speaking of regrets...The thumb nail to the left is of the motorcycle that I let my wife convince me to trade in for an SUV. It was my favorite vehicle ever.

Well sure I do. But I just look at it as experience.
Cuz experience is what you get when you didnt get what you wanted!

Seeing lots of my family that I havent seen in a long time brought back some memories of past deeds. But Im a better person now, and those things made me a stronger.

But what I really regret is I only have 1 bottle of wine at home for tonight, and my lack of poor planning will force me to run errands in rush hour this afternoon!

Yes, I've got some, but I figure they're part of what makes me who I am.

Now there are some things that I don't remember that I would like to...but I'm not able to because of tequila...or beer...or Jaegermeister...or Maker's mark...or...

I tend to cherish all my memories, even the bad ones. These Memories are the things that have made me the person I am.
Some are fun to recall, others are not Fun but can teach me how to be a better person.

We all do things that we may wish we would have done differently or even not at all. If we learn from these Memories, Maybe we will not repeat mistakes we have made.

No, I could not live without my Memories. All of them.
The bad ones especially because they are the one that I can learn from.

I wouldn't call them regrets - just more curious of "WHAT IF's".............

you know, I think having regrets are normal. However, I think if you turn these painful and ridiculous memories into things that you can laugh at later in life, then you are able to look at them from a less threatened point of view and learn from them.

So when I was sitting in a circle at a fraternity house my freshman year in college, and had had so much champagne that I projectile vomited all the way across the circle and ruined some girl's dress, I prefer to laugh at it and think of it as a learning experience.

mua!

You can't just say "shampoo incident". You are required by simple decency to elaborate on that. It sounds like a good story.

Ummmm...I'm trying to get it out of my memory. I don't need you to remind me of it.

It's too long of a story and I hate thinking and typing for long periods of time.
