Didn't like it? Too beaucoup?

I was just there for some extra spending money, didn't expect the hazards of the job.

Had sex with Hangover on the cleaning lady's desk.

Only threw a few hundred bucks at TSLA six years ago.. have a good friend who invested a few thousand dollars ten yrs ago and has made him a millionaire .

I was just incredibly immature emotionally while I was at LSU, really wish I could relive those 3 years with what I know now.

Fogged in morning trying to hunt ducks. Began running the boat at ducks on the water and shooting as they take off. Figured with fog gw would not locate us.

Restricted visibility caused us to run at a set of decoys, and the two hunters bailed out of the blind as we started blazing.

We proceeded to get lost in the fog again.

I once told an arrogant Canadian well site supervisor that he was a glorified secretary. That didn't end well for me.

When I was 15 I started dating a girl that was 2 years older than me, she was nice and caring. I had known her for years before we started anything romantic and during the course of the relationship I started becoming sorta popular through music and more known. I wasn't ready for any of that and I treated her horribly when she didn't deserve it. Things ended on bad terms and during that time on a rainy night she was in a car accident trying to come home from her job at a rural store in the middle of nowhere. She was found and airlifted, hung on for a few days in ICU but it was just too much and she was taken off life support. I didnt leave the hospital for those 3 days, but she doesn't know that.

I know she loved me so much and died feeling and thinking that she was nothing to me. And she knew the real me, way before all the shite in my life came and changed me. All these decades later I regret not being a better person to her.

Probably doesn't fit the thread entirely but I got something.

I once owned about 20 bitcoin. I think at its peak that would have been worth over $1 million.

Back when I was big into online poker, it was getting harder and harder to get large ish amounts of money deposited with a credit card. I had no clue what BTC even was but the online poker sites advertised the ease of depositing with BTC. so I figured out how to get some BTC, about 20 of em at my peak when it cost around $100 per BTC.

Only reason I say it doesn't fit this thread entirely, I don't think of it much or really regret as it wasn't really dumb in that I had no clue whatsoever BTC was, it was just a vehicle to get the money online to play poker.

But instead of turning that $2k into $1mil, I probably turned it into $2,073.84 after playing poker for 100 hours.

I pushed her away at the wrong moment.

Actually that's simultaneously the smartest thing I ever did, too. It brought a metric ton of hurt for a few years and led to a string of bad outcomes, but now, once the storm finished rolling by, my life is much better in the long run.
