Note: One of my new goals is to blog more. Years ago, it helped me process issues - help me relieve stress, help give me clarity, or just plain ole' let me vent. If you have decided to read my ramblings, please note that I am not writing to be a writer. I am simply writing for me. Also keep in mind that I have been and always will be a little bit crazy, so reading the thoughts from my mind may confuse or annoy you - or maybe just make you laugh at my insanity. I often write like I talk....so, consider yourself warned.

And so...now it's time to
A former student posted a link to a blog entitled, "Here Are The Top 37 Things Dying People Say They Regret. Learn From It Before It’s Too Late." The idea falls in line with one of the classes I teach: Creating a Meaningful Life. What makes your life meaningful? How can you ensure that you can live a life with no regrets? Alongside other more academic topics, we discuss how we can create meaning in our own lives.
Thirty-seven things are quite a lot and while I can ramble as good as the next blogger, I also do not have an unlimited amount of time to sit here right now and blog about all of them. Thus, each blog entry I will attempt to write about one of the 37 Things. (You see how I did that? I didn't say each day. I'm just not sure exactly how committed I can be to blogging. HAHA.) Since it's my blog and I can do as I please, I'm going to pick them in random order. First up is #5:
Missing the chance to see your favorite musicians. You never truly know when your favorite band might break up, so seize the day.
This is so true. I also have to say this falls in line with any sort of show: concert, broadway show, comedian, performance. Tickets may be expensive, but they are worth it. The memories stay with you for your entire life.
My friends and I went to quite a few concerts "back in the day," but one of my best memories is from December 31, 1991. Yes, that was a long time ago, but seeing Nirvana and the Red Hot Chili Peppers on New Year's Eve was amazing. It was also the first (and last) time I actually went into a mosh pit. Oh, the memories! HA!
While I see concerts less now than I did during college, if there is a band I want to hear, I will be there! Same thing with any type of performance or show. A friend of mine and I recently saw Margaret Cho and we have tickets to see Anjelah Johnson next month! Woo hoo!
I try my best to live life with no regrets. No one ever knows what is going to happen - whether a performer will stop performing, whether a band will break up, or whether or not we'll even be around to see them!
So far, so good. Check 1 out of the 37! How about you? How often do you see concerts/shows?
