regrets...

Come on Im sure every body has at least one huge regret....heres mine... Ok... most of you will probably have a hard time believing this but I really dont care... Ive been in bands for years, im a singer and guitar player, well in oct.
2007 someone on the west coast got a hold of a demo of mine.... long story short, I was told by capitol records that I have star quality, they hooked me up with a band whos singer recently quit due to knocking up his GF... these guys are on the verge of getting signd by 3 differant record companies.. capitol, columbia, and i forget the last are all looking at them, they even had a hookup with american airlines, i got to fly first class back and forth from L.A. for nothing...
capitol was literally waiting for me to lay vocals on a demo, and it was like 99 % we were getting signed. back in march the bass player flew here (east coast to pick me up) and I basically fucked them over... i have 3 kids and I thought its what I wanted, but something made me give it all up... Im 29 years old and am scared its gonna be to late real soon...
I feel Ive missed the opportunity of a lifetime... Its all I think about, I can probably still go back, even though the band is pissed off major at me.. this is just something I needed to get off my chest... most people would give anything to have that chance and for that reason I feel like a fucking idiot.... I suffer from depression and low self esteem to... fucking shit will destroy your life if you let it... it is mine....ahhhhh there now I feel a little better...lol

At the time you had your reasons... Don't let it go as far as destroying your life... Your kids kept you from going, and I think that's a damn good reason not have gone... Every day is a new opportunity to reach your goals.. So if your circumstances allow it, then go for it now.. The worst that can happen is they tell you you're too late and to fuck off .

I definitly think you should write about this; write about what made you say no and the things that still want you to say yes, I bet you could come up with some pretty sick lyric if you poured your thought onto some paper. You are what you are good, bad or ugly.

thanks guys, and your right Mco, i should write a song, my heads all fucked up right now with.... should I go, should I stay.. ect...ect..., I dont want to be 40 years old kicking myself in the ass saying and thinking...what could have been... my kids were the main reason I ditched it all, especially the youngest, he was only a year and real close to me, still is but now he,s 2...
i just posted this to maybe give me that extra push that I need to get off my ass and make something with my self... Im thinking of getting ahold of them via myspace and see what they say...thanks again guys..

no problem bro, do whats right for you.

write the song, and use it as a sort of apology to the band. Who knows, they might just be impressed.
Also, i wouldnt have passed it up for much, but what u passed it up for, was a good reason.

I've done some fucked up things, but no regrets bro every experience and decision I have made has served a purpose for me. Get help with the depression, I know it sucks . . .

Good quote

I try not to regret anything. If something didn't happen to your own bidding, it was probably for the betterment of yourself and quite possibly others....if that makes sense.

fake it till you make it bro
