I regret that I missed the capitalist casualties show on Easter 91.
Also I regret that Sheet Terror didn't show either time I traveled to see them.

I'm proud of him. He started off driving one and built his own business into a fleet. I used to ride with him for a couple nights of a tour every now and again. Saw some interesting shit, meet some interesting people...

Yep. And apparently asking for anything more than 20k in salary is too much.

It hit my 2nd brother hard. He was 8 years older than the baby. It didn't sting that bad for me. I knew it was coming and what can you do. I am a lot more mad than sad, and I think of him like DAILY. So many things remind me of him in the course of the day that I am always thinking of him. Really spoiled my plans with all the time I was hoping to spend with him after I retired and now that is just... Gone. All gone. At the end of the day, it is in God's hands and if he needed a jazz guitarist back that bad to fill out his Heavenly quartet, then what the hell am I going to say? I doth protest too much. I will say this. When a person passes too young, it is really hell on the living they leave behind. So very much reminds you of them, and there is an empty need unfulfilled when you can't see them or talk to them or know you COULD see them if you wanted to. Quite a deep hole. |

I'm not surprised. These little miracles happen all the time and either we can't see them or rationalize them scientifically. It amazes me how many people need to not believe in miracles when they are right in front of our faces all the time, if we just look. |

OK, there is a serious regret. I should have stayed in better shape after college. It was a long slow slide but still, I wish I had put more effort into exercise as the years raced by.

Still think you are a douchebag when talking Alex Smith, but as a person, you do seem nice. Condolences on the loss of your brother.. a touching story indeed.

My best friends father was in sales for almost 30 years. He lost his job two years ago, and can't find a job making a third of what he made before. I've always done factory work. When I got my first factory job 14 years ago I started out at $9.80 per hour. You know what the starting salary is at that same company today? $9.80 per hour. And now they've cut the employees benefits, top out pay and raised the price of insurance. it's the same story every where you go. Manufacturing is dead. The Typical Household, Now Worth a Third Less The inflation-adjusted net worth for the typical household was $87,992 in 2003. Ten years later, it was only $56,335, or a 36 percent decline, according to a study financed by the Russell Sage Foundation. Those are the figures for a household at the median point in the wealth distribution — the level at which there are an equal number of households whose worth is higher and lower. But during the same period, the net worth of wealthy households increased substantially. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/27/bu...less.html?_r=4 Last edited by Mennonite; 09-20-2014 at 05:28 PM.. |

Being a recluse in high school, my father had a caustic attitude towards administrative authority as an ER physician so my family moved multiple times. (upwards of 8 times)
Thus, having to assimilate with a new group of kids and couldn't maintain relationships because of moving all the time( attempting to blend in, with the disadvantage of having stroke without others believing I was mentally reeruned because of that affliction was a problem too). The straw that broke the camel's back was being stood up by a group of kids to go to a party as a sophomore. After that I said **** it. I just kept my head down and did my time as if it were prison. No dates, no parties, I didn't go to prom because I was so jaded. in fact, my only outlet was posting on the KCStar BB back in the day.
