Weird regrets

I really regret not having the chance to ride Drachen Fire before it was torn down. It always looked awesome, but for one reason or another I never got around to getting there.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I second this; I would have preferred to perfect my second language (cantonese).

This is a pretty weird regret I won't forget though.

We were picking a treasurer for our group "Town" for Boys State, (a camp for summer leadership where we compete for positions) and I decided to run. I thought of a good idea for my speech by saying something along the lines of: "I'm the type of guy that knows exactly how much money I carry in my pocket". And surely enough, I got the spot. Obviously I didn't tell anyone that it was total bullshit and later in the course, our town actually became number one. One of the guys ended up getting the 'Governor' spot ie. the highest position.

A couple years later, no doubt, I ran into him again (the Governor), now a harvard student. We caught up and stuff, and as he was leaving, he asked me "so how much money is in your pocket?" I had totally forgotten about that ploy, but as I thought about it, I had known it was going to come and bite me in the ass. I played it down to him, but I knew he knew I was bluffing.

As we parted, the kid gave me a grin and left. I turned around. "fuck."

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
