I was in the 11th grade and my squad had just won the holiday tournament (big shit in Houston for Xmas). We were all young and just enjoying the night. Ended up @ this chick's house b/c her mother was a nurse and worked at night. We were drinking some cheap ass vodka (about 9.99 for a gallon) and smoking heavy.

One of the cats asked me to drive to the corner store to cop some more juice for the liquor. But, I was about to smash this chick in the back and told him to give me 30 mins. Well, our starting guard, a cat from next door, and 3 chicks all piled up into a small ass Ford Escort.

They never made it. :smh: Come to find out, he was doing 95+ in a 35 mph zone and hit a dip in the road. The car hit a pole and literally split in half. All 5 of them died on the scene. I wasn't the only one he asked to go, but for yrs I always wondered if it was somehow my fault. It took me years to accept the fact that it was his fault for driving drunk.

So yeah, I'd definitely take 15 minutes of that night back to hit the store instead.
 
Oct. 24th 2004, I wish I hadn't tried to drive from SanJo to Frisco after 5 Long Island Iced Teas........:smh::smh::smh:

that decision changed my path in life entirely........
 
Sometimes I wish I did not break up with my ex.....but she was crushing me emotionally and I'm still stuck on her now I question do I know what love is or do I even know how to love
 
1988.....my nextdoor neighbor's 5 year old son went missing while all the kids were out playing hide n seek. we started in our neighborhood and spread out looking for him. after about 2 hours of searching we came back home and sat on the porch contemplating about where he could have went to or who possibly could have taken him. his mom asked me and one of my other friends if we could put this cooler that was beside her porch in her house for her, but when we tried to lift it, we couldn't. opened it up.........and well.....u can guess the rest. I was 12 at the time, but that fucked me up. just wish i would have checked there first. suffocation is a messed up way to go.
 
out of work.

out of school.

broke.

FINALLY got some interviews lined up...

one was at a college where I was totally under-qualified for but would run my own dept....

the other was with a non-profit doing good work with OK pay...

The non-profit immediately called me back and offered me the job...

after I already started I was called by the college you wanted me to meet with the dean..

I told them I already accepted the other position...

the called me again to reconsider the 2nd interview..

when I went to my new boss to ask for time to go to the interview I was honest and told him the deal...

he gave me the integrity speech...

so I declined the offer...

the. single. biggest. regret. of. my. life.

I dont know for sure what would have happened or if I even would have been OFFICIALLY been offered the position.

But looking at my life since that decision...

I should have said f*ck it and went for self and said screw that integrity shit, cause in the end I got screwed over...

LESSON LEARNED.

and OP thanks for making me relive that:hmm:
 

:(:(:(

I walked away without a scratch, but.....

car was payed off, got no money from insurance because it was "alcohol related"
lost the gov. job I had lined up in Cali


basically that accident was the reason why I came back east, and while I'm happy with the way things turned out............like the thread title says "the one thing I wish I did differently that day"....:cool:

I'd say that all together I lost over $50k because of that DUI..........lesson learned!

i've had many of these, only thing is i never got caught, i walked away then ran. 4 times in 4 cars. i've been pulled over drunk my cuz began to act up, i told them he was drunk. they let us go :eek: i dont dui anymore.
 
Got into it with with a dyke broad that had me by at least 25-50 pounds. Few years back, I go to talk to this broad and her dagger girlfriend come out of nowhere talking shit, pushing up on me.

I'm smiling. I ain't fazed, 'cause shit ain't that real. She was talking tough, but talking is talking. I was laughing at the situation. I kinda Roy Jones'd it a bit too much and she got one off on me, catching me off guard.

Bam! Wild swing got me in the glasses as I pulled my head away just in time, but the glasses went flying.

I touched the bridge of my nose and looked at it.

Blood.

My Blood.

I charged that bitch like a wild bull and her eyes got wide as fuck like "What have I got myself into". I throw a wild left on purpose, which she ducks and she runs right into my right and left jab, wop, wop.

Knowing that I am fighting a broad, still, I took 30-40% off and threw "stunners". The broad hit the ground like a shot cow.

I get on top of her and start choking her out.

I felt bad, though. It's a broad still. She can't beat...

I get up off of her and she charges me again. I "ole!" her ass like Bugs Fucking Bunny in the old Looney Tunes joints and give her more stunners, up'd maybe 10% strength.

Boom.

Down goes Butch. Down Goes Butch.

Again, I get on top of her and choke her out, again, not all the way, just to keep the bitch offa me. I get up off of her again. I tell her like Gorgeous George said to the Pikey in Snatch, "You want to stay DOWN!"

Then she gets up and says the most unbelievable shit I have ever heard someone utter as she stumbles to her feet.

"You a lesbian, yourself. You a lesbian, yourself"

Uhhh, come again? I swear I heard her wrong and I just stood there with a dumb assed look on my face and she said it again, "You a lesbian, yourself. You a lesbian, yourself"

I bust out laughing.

"You just... :lol: You... :lol: GTFOH"

By then her broad was there, holding her up and the dyke didn't want any more by that point, so I grab my shit and head home. I thought it was done.

Nope.

Fast forward about 6 months later. I was unemployed looking for jobs with Temp agencies. One came to me with a job that was long term. They asked me if I minded a background check. I said no. I was clean as hell. No arrest. No priors. No nothing.

"Go ahead"

I was about as scared as a virgin at the HIV clinic.

I go to the agency about a week later and they say, "Uhhh, we can't offer you this job"

I'm like, "Why not? I have worked many jobs for you before"

"There is a warrant for your arrest."

Come again?

"I got a who? How?

Come to find out, this bitch, knew somebody who knew me and that asshole gave her my shit.

Aggravated Menacing

I had never even heard of such a thing. Assault, maybe. But menacing? WTF was that?

Long story short, I REALLY need the job, since I have no job and need to pay my rent. I turn myself in after asking a friend and he saying that they would let me off with a personal bond since I had no record. The week before I go down I rent "Roots" from the library and watch it all. I didn't have a job, and I was turning myself in. Why not watch a movie about slaves. They might let me off with a personal bond, right?

Heh, heh.

WRONG

Not only do they NOT give me a personal bond, but the prosecution is acting like they want to burn me like I am a real criminal and shit. They beg the judge to keep me and give me a high bond. The judge doesn't go for that and puts bond at $2500 ($250), but I was broke and didn't have even that much.

Went to lock up for a week. Saw judge and the prosecution again is trying to burn me, but they can't find the Butch. They ask the judge for ANOTHER week. Judge grants the OK.

Another week in hold looking like Snoop Dogg from Murder was the Case.

Saw judge again at the end of the second week, prosecution STILL can't find the broad and ask for 2 more weeks but the judge steps in.

"Hold on. You have had 2 weeks. Still nothing. You have had your chance. Dismissed"

I was happy and lucky as hell. I don't know the charge that menacing holds but I have never been caught up like that, and to get caught up fighting somebody who started a fight with me, threw the first punch and got their asses handed to them because they thought they were tougher than they really were? THEN, after all that, they call the police on ME?

I got that shit erased from my record and got the job at the Temp agency. but that was some bullshit.

Fighting is for the birds. Fuck that. Mofo's don't take ass whoopins no more. I know another dude who got caught up like that with a dude. Dude hits him in the face, but he hit like a bitch and got his ass whooped and got dropped by the first punch my dude threw. That bitch ass dude called the police, but I don't know what happened, since I moved right after that.

I have ALWAYS lived by, "If you don't want to GET HIT, then DON'T HIT." You are a woman, and I am a man. I probably hit harder than you do, so it would behoove you to not hit me first. Because if you do, and I hit back, it won't be pretty. Some bitches think they are dudes, some talking back like Robin Givens in "A Rage in Harlem" where she was just standing there "Fuck you, no FUCK YOU, no FUCK YOU!" at some dude.

Since it was basically no harm, no foul, and all I did was spend 2 weeks in the lockup, it's cool. But I ain't fucking around with fighting anymore. But, if I had it to do all over again I would have never fought that butch. My record got expunged, but still, I couldn't find more than a couple of days or weeks worth of temp jobs for almost a year.
 
Shit, biggest one is my homeboy had this nigga he hung out with, slim was a true cornball, he was from some one horse town in PA but kept acting like he was from Philly, dude always got joked on, I'm saying to the point of tears, you could just see it in his eyes

Niggas bullied the shit outta him, I'm talking about slapping him in the back of his head in front of broads, treating him bad in front of his folks, you name it, these dudes who clowned the shit out of him were from the city, poor and ignorant, and probably mad that he was fronting trying to act ghetto to fit in- so they just didn't give a fuck about his feelings-

Long story short, me and slim got kind of cool, mainly because I felt bad for the dude, and me being a suburban dude myself, I kind of understood his plight, nobody respects where you coming from, so they gotta respect you, he just didn't have the heart-

So one day, slim cracks slick with me about some dumb shit I did to a bitch, while we cracking jokes, laughing and drinking and acting up, he keeps coming for me, I finally tell him to shut the fuck up, he won't stop, I'm a young nigga, I'm getting in my feelings cause this joker already knows how I looked out for him, so I snap-

I catch him with a quick ass two piece to the chest and eye, slim is out COLD!

Fast forward a few weeks, and slim is terrorized as a result of this shit (and many other acts of fucked up ness from me and others), and this nigga fucking kills himself from the torment-

THAT SHIT FUCKED ME UP! I just wished I would have walked away, I had no idea what that nigga was going through mentally-
 
I wouldve stayed at my sisters house when she said stay. She knew I was on a mission. Anyway in the midst of my mission I get shot. And my whole life changed...therapy, aces in the middle of the night, trust issues wit a lot of my friends. But in the end, found out who really had my back. well prolly wouldnt change it.
 
one time about 14-15 years ago i uttered the words "I do"






fucked up my entire existence.... :smh:

I was 18 at the park shooting ball. We're about to leave when one of my lil sister friends run up on me and ask can he get a ride. I told him to hop in because he lives 2 doors up from me. On the ride I notice he's nervous and fiddling around with something. I ask him what he's doing back there and pulls out a bag with about 3-4 rocks in it. Now lil dude a skinny ass white kid with some racist ass parents. I was like what da hell u doing with that Chucky?? The last thing I needed was his parents to see him get out my car then find that coke on him. I pull over and tell him that he's too young to be out here selling rocks and leave dat shit alone because he wasn't built for it. He tells me some guys gave it to him to get rid of so he can get this new Jordan sweatsuit he wanted because his parents won't buy it for him. Back then I was in the streets myself so I knew where he was coming from. I told him give that shit back to whoever u got it from, it's nothing but trouble. I put him out the car a few blocks up the street from our house. The next day my sis told me some guys were after Chucky because he messed up the shit they'd given him and told him they were going to kill him when they found him. That night Chucky went home and hung himself. He left a note saying how sorry he was for letting everybody down and how he didn't want his little sister to grow up like him...He was 13. I went to his funeral and his mom buried him in that jogging suit he died trying to get. Fucked me up!! I'll always live with the regret of not doing more for him. Everytime I go in my mothers back yard I look at the tree he hung from and it still sends shivers up my spine.
 
I wish I would have stayed with my people I was with in the club 5 years ago. I'm in the club with 11 people but being so drunk I walk out the club early trying to get to my car so I can post up in my new car and impress hoes.. Ended up getting robbed and pistol whipped....Peoples ended up coming out mad and killed one of the dudes now he got 30 to life and the other cat is dead... all cause I could have stayed in the club. Of course it wasn't right for them dudes to try to jack me but at the same time, when you show watch you have in front of have-nots, you make yourself a target.....and ultimately we both "lost" and the system won. More black on black crime, victimization and death

Damn! :smh:

I wrecked an 03 Sentra SE-R and a 06 Cobalt ss. I don't even want to get into how I whipped them when I was DUI. It's funny that they both looked identical to that. With that said... I know you was getting LOOSE in that joint. AND WITH ALCOHOL IN YOUR SYSTEM! :smh:

I don't know dawg... Maybe I should stop driving under the influence. :dunno:

It's so fun though. Loose as a goose all up and down 75/85. I swear... I've had drunk females who I picked up from the club ride with me back to the crib... them hoes don't even be drunk anymore by the time we make it there. They WIDE AWOKE with they hair standing on top of their heads and with crazy jitters. :(
 
2004

I'm getting ready to go back to college for the second semester of my freshman year. I was tired of searching high and low for good bud in Bmore, so I hit up my man and he gives me a great deal on "2+ ounces".

I go meet him and scoop it and bring it back to my crib. At this point, I'm ready to go link up with two bitches from high school for what was going to be my first threesome. I notice that the bud had my whole room and that whole side of the crib stinking, so I say fuck it and bring it with me in the chest pocket of my North face.

I go to one of the girls crib, but I didn't have any condoms, so we all get in the car to go to Wal-Mart. I'm in the whip smoking, talking my shit, feeling more alive than I've ever felt... Next thing I know we're getting pulled over.

I go into panic mode and quickly make one of the bitches put the HUGE bag of weed in her pants. The cops search me and they find nothing, they pull my homegirl out the car, and it looks like she has a big ass tumor in her pants. Before they even searched her, I fessed up to the weed.

I was charged with possession with the intent to deliver and manufacture, and possession of paraphernalia. My man sold me 65.8 grams(about 2 1/3 oz) in total.

I wish I would've just hid the bud behind the house or something. I lived in PA in a single family home, there were plenty of hiding places.


 
Was talking to my Mom on Tuesday back in may. She was on hospice care but laughing and at the stuff I was telling her that my son was doing. For a while she sounded like she was out of it so I said why don't you get some rest and Ill call you back on Thursday. She said ok and we got off the phone. I worked over nights and so when I came home Thursday morning my wife told me she passed away early that morning. I still feel bad cause I was going to call her that Wednesday but said naww I'll wait till Thursday. Even now ill find something and hear something and be like I gotta tell my mom about this then remember that she passed away. :smh:
