Have you ever done something you feared would come back to haunt you? Did it?

I am sure I did a few things in my life better left undiscovered.
For the life of me, right now, I can’t remember one.
But then most of my closest friends are already gone so I have nothing to worry about.
I do try very hard not to do things that will come back. But at this vast age, of course, there are some things that still haunt me — oh, that Jewish guilt. Candice’s finger would be one; small things usually, granted, but to me shameful nonetheless.
As far as topless? Who cares?
Yessir. I’m not ashamed of burning those bridges either.. and have found that often Karma gets its own sweet revenge.
But ashamed? No way. Some people need to be exposed.
Yes I did something that I was ashamed of, haunted me for years, and yet, though I remember the shame , I cannot for the life of me remember what it was, seroiusly, I’ve been racking my brain and it is gone.
I have finally found something good about getting old !
In the long run, to quote Candace "Who effing cares "
Having been the one who did "take it all off," I remember towing the party line about the freedom and empowerment, but really it only empowers you around people who believe it’s empowering. It’s like pro sports. Athletic celebrities are only such to people who know who they are. I would never let one jump ahead of me in line because I’m not a fan.
As far as this whole Miss California controversry, it’s only "newsworthy" because she claims to have a moral compass through god and faith. It’s brought a hoard of "Christians" out of the woodwork to support and defend her who, I can personally vouch, would have otherwise burned her at the stake. Members of my own family included. They aren’t acknowledging her hypocrisy and biblical cherry-picking, but desperately seeking a "Christian" spokesperson who has the public’s attention… for now.
Personally, my only issue with her is one that everyone seems to have forgotten. She started her comments with "Everyone has the right to marry…" For a California representative she was not only woefully out of touch with the national same-sex marriage issue, but current and very recent Prop 8 issue in California. No, everyone does not have a right, and her own state just said so. I know beauty queens aren’t known for their brain (Ms. Palin), but that level cluelessness doesn’t deserve a reward.
And I would post it on the Internet, WHY? What a ridiculous question!!
OK: since you twisted my arm.
1. There was my short stint as a hooker/CIA informant in Brussels during the Bosnian War…. let’s just say that it was a quick skirmish, but I’m constantly paying off Democrats not to sell the pictures of me in bed with "Bill" to the Enquirer.
2. My sordid dating history before marrying: there was that married guy from Arkansas (we hooked up again a few years later in Europe…. oops you already know about that one!), then there was "the one that got away"…. he chose to go to the other team recently. A few nights in Rio back in the late ’80s with Duran Duran… well, that was about the time they were concentrating on other things and their record sales slipped.
Come on, WOW! Like anybody would really answer that question honestly…… :)
(sighs, singing, Hungry Like The Wolf)
Haven’t we all? Come on be honest! Would I do a few things differently if I could go back. Yes I would. Were they stupid things? Yes they were! Did I think them through before doing them? No….because I didn’t want to. But I also believe…."he is without sin, let him cast the first stone!"
Sound familiar?
Stand this girl next to Kate Winslet and see the difference. When her pageant days are behind her and she’s grown up a bit, maybe we’ll see who Ms. Prejean really is. Right now, I have no idea and I doubt if she knows either.
Carrie Prejean is a hypocrite. And Karleen, Biblical Cherry Picking is exactly right. Model or no, if she was as Christian as she claims or even if she had a little bit of self respect, those photos never would have been taken.
I’ve done lots of stupid stuff. Stuff I probably won’t tell my kids about until they’re grown. But nothing I’m really ashamed of. For most of it I was young and I was always having fun and I don’t regret it. Such are the fortunate who have the opportunity to embark upon such stupidly enjoyable, mistake-ridden adventures!
But I’m also a proponent of doing the right thing. And while I’m nowhere near ashamed of it, I quit the best job I ever had for ethical reasons and haven’t been able to find full time employment since. It’s as though I’m being punished for it. But I’m quite proud of my resolve and will continue to be so. Karma will see its way through.
