living without regrets .

Upon seeing this title you may have thought that this would be all about how I've lived my life to the fullest, and embraced even my mistakes, living without regret in all that I have done.

Well I'm about to get real; I think people who think they can live without regret is complete bullshit. Some will argue that it's possible... I just don't think it is. Some may say that because they've learned something from a mistake or something similar, that they don't regret it because of the thing that they learned. In my eyes... even if I learn something new, a tidbit of wisdom, I might very well still regret something I did.

a quoted discussion .

This is another quote that caught my eye; a quote that came from my little widget deal. This time the quote is from Gustave Flaubert, whose name sounds vaguely familiar from literature that I read in high school. In fact, I'm almost positive we read some of his stuff. Anyways, the quote is "I love good sense above all, perhaps because I have none." Now, common sense in itself is an interesting subject. There's quite a divide between 'book smarts' and 'street smarts.' In our case, street smarts is virtually equivalent to common sense.
