Interesting: As recorded by a palliative nurse over years.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/ ... -the-dying

Short version for the lazy:

1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard.

3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

What's your greatest regret so far, and what will you set out to achieve or change before you die?

lol thanks for the lazy version

I would have to say be my own man, establish an identity detached from everyone else.
Sometimes it feels like some of my family wish to base part of their identity on me, which is exhausting.

So i need to get out of town , travel the world and sorround myself with gorgeous women

No regrets here buddy...everything in my life that has happened, positive or negative, has helped changed the the way I view and/or do things in this world

Sure it would've been nice to learn the things I know now when I was a few years younger, but hey better late than never

That explains the number of smiley faces in all your posts


Danny: No worries on the lazy approach. I know magicians have a short attention span, so anything to help

I have a serious problem with expressing my feelings when it's likely to lead to confrontation. Kind of wakes me up to know that I could be setting myself up for an illness in ten or twenty years time.

Need to make it a priority to sort this one out before I do any more damage... Which course should I review?

Life's not over, but hey, there are ten years doing this to reflect on:

1. I wish I'd met more of you in person, which I have had the honor of doing with both King DIamond and Zachy.

2. I wish I'd managed to get more thinkers, action-takers, and provocateurs into the group, to get ideas out faster, bigger, and to millions of men on top of these thousands.

3. I wish it could have been cheaper, to you and to me, in dollars and in time, yet richer with technology - video, animation, software, and interactivity.

4. I wish women understood men more fully because of it, and wanted to be more understood at any cost, even at the cost of suspending judgment on what they've been taught is true.

5. I wish no man ever again suffered a divorce, a breakup, or a job loss that paralyzes him, a depression that lingers and lasts, a panic attack that terrifies him, a quiet sense of despair that he is alone, and if anyone did lend an ear, he couldn't tell them what he feels without shame anyway, that he would never have to worry again about money, or finding a job, or returned home too tired on a daily basis to feel that his time was spent on a worthy cause, or one that builds his life instead of draining it, that no one of them felt unloved or disrespected.

But wait. There's time, and all of these we are working on, or already are becoming true.

Man.. Thats beautiful

I just re-joined the forums, and the first thing I read is this.

"5.

This is just incredible, I hope I can be of some help.

Welcome back brother. We've missed you

Thanks ATnoir, I always like a good greeting.
