Regrets

I got to a point when I was in, I think, grade nine, where I went through something similar with video games. I was actually obsessed with some girl at the time and I started pursuing her interests instead of mine, only to have my heart broken when she ended up getting impregenated by a pig farmer...anyway.

I started to feel that video games were a complete waste of time and that they were childish and useless. The image of a controller, like a bright coloured soda can, became reminiscent of juvenility. I stopped playing video games altogether even when I wanted to. The entire video game industry pulled ahead of me. At the time, it was quite lame to say the 'gaming' industry, that's how long ago I fell off.

I missed out on Devil May Cry, the post-VIII FF titles, Halo (and all other X-box titles), the sequal to Shenmue (which I was very interested in), the Smash Bros sequal...the only thing I didn't miss out on was Vice City. My best friend, he never stopped playing and he would still continue to try to talk to me about video games, and what's coming out, and after about a year or two of dry conversation, he realized, in horror, my stance on the subject, and he said, with a broken heart, "Dude...you don't like games anymore, do you?"

And I remember reading this in Gamepro magazine: People don't stop playing video games because they get old. People get old because they stop playing video games.

In even a Tyler Durdenesque way, isn't it fucking pathetic to stray from what you like because you want to conform to an idea of what a person should be?

Television is the same, but my breaking away from it was different. I genuinely fucking fucking hate television. Commercials put me into a commotose state where pieces of my love for humanity etch away. Every time I see an actor being fake to sell a product of any kind, it makes me feel ill. Any time I see a car or a piece of furniture or some electronical equipment being advertised as something cool, it quite literally heats up that spot on my head where my hairline is receeding. I hate talk show hosts. I don't find any sitcoms funny. I can't stand 9/10 comedians. Adult swim's random, pseudo-edgy humour seems to me like a clever format for making jokes without any sort of real work imbedded within, and I have a hunch that offensive humour only works half the time because people are laughing to prove they're not offended.

I got away from television before these hour long shows had any real effort put into them, and I know of many people with good taste who fiend on these shows, so maybe they're good. I don't know. I can't sit still anyway.

...i have a few....but then again, too few to mention.

Don't know if this is appropriate but well.....LMFAO

That is perfectly appropriate.

A pig farmer? There's a story there....

Regrets are the beginning of our life.

I wonder...does she have any regrets getting impregnated by a ham head?

Probably. She was way, way, way too big for that shitty little town, and she was selfless so she'll probably stay together for the kid, and that pig farming mother fucker was from the dirtiest fucking family. She was beautiful. She looked like Reese Witherspoon, except saomething about that braud's face pisses me off. She was way better looking than Reese Witherspoon. She wanted to be a scientist. Fuck it, she looked nothing like Reese Witherspoon. The first time I saw her I was a kid and her mom drove me home from my friend's house, and she was sitting across from me in the back seat looking out her window and I was looking out mine and then I looked over at her, and just stared, because God Damn she was beautiful, and then she turned and looked at me and we both turned away, and then we did that again and probably again..Even when I get a crush on a girl and say she's beautiful, like to-me beautiful, which is maybe even better than just regular beautiful (not that this girl was regular beautiful, she was more intensely, one-of-a-kind beautiful) I can see them from an honest perspective and understand they have some inadequecy and yeah, they're good looking or maybe even beautiful but she's not the most beautiful, or anything, but this girl was, she really was, and anyone would agree, and it would piss you off just to look at her because whoever you are, she's too beautiful for you, and even with me sitting here telling you she's way more beautiful than you think she is with me sitting here telling you she's beautiful, you're still underestimating the fact, even with it stated like that...

We need a thread that consists entirely of Nightrious talking about beauty. 

My regrets are average and I don't have the interest or the ability to make them fascinating.

Nightrious, u still got de hots for her. Bro (assuming yer not a lesbian) you need lye

Well as it happens I am a lesbian. Go fuck yourself.

 haha

Ok, but you still need lye

 i regret wasting money on "shit we don't need"

but then what would i have done with the money i didn't spend?

hmm

i regret a lot. i feel like changing my whole lifestyle, but i'm only 16 and living with parents so what choice do i have. when i was 10 or whenever i used to think, "when i grow up i'm gonna get all my clothes from the gap." how sick was i?

16, huh? ha, don't worry you'll regret a lot more as life goes on ... or you can stop whining about the past, realize your own mortality and fucking do something with yourself today. Regrets are for losers who don't move on to bigger and better things.

 thanks i'm thinking of that cliche that goes something like don't look behind you and look ahead of you, lol

Sometimes, I regret regretting things, but I'd have to say if i was going to regret something, then I'd regret my crap job and caring so much about people.

haha, well i was a hs football coach, so i rattle off motivational cliches automatically when i hear a teenager sounding negative.

I regret how much time I managed to spend on this post.

I disagree; regrets are indicative of understanding past decisions and their effect. If a person were to live without regret, he or she would lack a profound sense of experience and wisdom. Regrets, in their nature, are not about "whining about the past"; they're about motivating you to "do something with yourself today."

Regrets are for losers who actually know what the fuck has happened.
