Tagged by Sarah A.: Four Times I Was Wrong.

oh lawd. Now I have to think.

If you're right about use it or lose it, whole portions of my body should be gone!

Sorry Debra... I'm weak... I like to share pain sooner that later.

Sarah, you're right. If this were true across the board, my ass would be huge! Oh... never mind.

Out of shyness, I will refrain from tagging others, but I was wrong four times in one day.

1) I was wrong to expect the joy of a new bicycle to last more than a day.
2) I was wrong to believe learning to ride was easy.
3) I was wrong to doubt I could learn.
4) I was wrong to expect something left on the curb to be there the next morning.

5) I was also wrong that time I dated myself. I made a reference to a sitcom from the seventies to a group people who were all born after John Lennon was killed. They were aghast. Eventually I repented. Dating oneself gets old, even if the sex is a ready fringe benefit.

Geez! I just realized that I posted this with a major typo! Instead of saying "because I'm a guy," I instead wrote "because I'm guy,"... clearly an error. But the glaring question was, of course, did he mean "gay?" This interpretation probably makes as much sense in the context of the item as my intended wording.

So, let me be very very clear. I am not "gay." As anyone who regularly reads my posts would know, I have absolutely no sex whatsoever!

Thank you for allowing me that clarification.

1. I was wrong to acknowledge birthdays.
2. I was wrong to think that I had seen my last slam book in junior high, only to see it return in the 90’s, via email, asking some of the same questions (what color is your toothbrush, what’s your favorite television show, do you prefer ketchup or mustard)
3. I was wrong to snicker because my mother looked pregnant the second half of her life.
4. I was wrong to think that no one would dare tag me, and that I would never respond if someone did.

The serious list:

1. I was wrong to think all people would be trustworthy if I offered them trust, because some people take without giving and even use what you give them against you.
2. I was wrong to criticize the boss who expected perfection, because she taught me to strive for perfection.
3. I was wrong to think that everyone wants to be the best they can be. Some don’t.
4. I was wrong to believe denial would make it go away.


I tag Martinchill, Johnny 5000, Adam Crossland, and The Chive™ (and hope they'll respond on this thread instead of posting new ones).

You aren't gay? Does that mean I can have a crush on you?

Wait a minute. #4 is a violation of Guy code 22.3 section 1. LIE. (It's also TMI.)

I was wrong when I thought I could get away with "tagging" Sandy Knauer and live to tell about it.
