Bad Decisions

This post is inspired by this comic here.  The last panel in particular.
We’ve all made bad decisions.  Unless you’re a saint, and if that’s the case, then you probably shouldn’t be tooling around reading blogs on the Internet.  But like I was saying, yeah, we’ve all done things we regret.  Things we maybe shouldn’t have [...]
