I will not allow myself to regret my past, no matter what I have done, as I've learned very much through my many blunders. If a repeat was forced upon me, I would change nothing...

Oddly enough, when I think of my past and this compulsion not to allow regret (likely a backlash against my days as a Christian regretting nearly everything I had done the previous day), the instance that most comes to mind as a possible "grey area" is not failed relationships, my disregard of conventional education, my involvement in religious or political groups I am now opposed to, but throwing a snowball that (accidentally) hit a little girl in the face, as a child. This would make sense had I blinded her or caused serious injury, but it was not the case... I'm curious as to why this remains such a vivid memory for me, as it seems so minor. Truly, I've done worse... but, maybe, I had justifications for those actions, and this was a case of simply throwing a snowball to see if it would hit her, since she was a target of opportunity and I estimated it was very unlikely, and achieved results I had not intended... since it seems to be relevant in some way, I'll document it in further detail:

I was maybe 12 or so at the time and was walking with a friend, with a snowball in hand, when I saw the girl, who was perhaps 6 or 7, walking alone maybe 30 feet ahead of us. Thinking I was sure to miss, I threw the snowball high into the air, and as it fell nearly straight down, she turned around and was hit from above right in the face... after being awestruck for what seemed like a few seconds, but was probably only an instant, my first thought was "uh oh... I hope she doesn't live near here" (fearing her parents would be less than impressed with my new-found marksmanship). As she she stood there and began crying, I was contemplating fleeing the scene of the "accident", but thankfully, my humanity won out over my fear of reprisal and I instead went to her, full of apologies and trying to explain I had never intended it to hit her, which was true. Memory becomes a bit foggy after that point, but I am confident she stopped crying and was ok... I have always had a strong sense of fairness and justice... and that's likely why I place more importance on this than any of the times I injured someone as a consequence of their actions. What I remember most is the look upon her face... very similar to that of the sombre, worried glance a dog gives someone who has just stepped upon it's tail, as it tries to ascertain whether it was a deliberate act... it seemed to say "why?" and "please help me" at the same times... and there was no fair answer to that unspoken question... the only excuse I could have used would have been youth, and considering she was younger than myself and on the receiving end of the snowball, I doubt that would have been an acceptable one... youth and gender, perhaps would be a better non-excuse...

Anyway, I believe this was the only time I had made a choice that resulted in harm (even of a limited nature) coming to someone who did not at all deserve it, on any level, without a higher pursuit to provide justification.

"Daughter Of Flames"

shadowed by flames she stands and stares
as red blood falls like rain
righteously indignant there's
no sense of fear or shame

and if she seems a broken girl
so fair and fragile still
white she stands though a stained pearl
she's ready for the kill

i watched my sister standing there
and tasted her resolve
so strong and weak though never bare
the earth ceased to revolve

for this girl i'd burn the world
and dance while shadows reigned
for her i would build an eden
a world that's born unstained

her gaze intent. i know the pain
and sense in her a pride
and i decide to be the bane
that keeps her foe aside

where we'll part i can not tell
and hasten not to know
for from the start when she first fell
i wished to take the blow

and when she fell so easily
i wished to be her knight
and protect her from the fallacy
that she deserved the slight

a raven maiden bleeding free
a storm within her eyes
demure and yet so dangerously
that she could ever rise

not a ghost but just a girl
a daughter of the flames
a purified yet ashen pearl
whose tiny form constrains

Capricorn corresponds to the tarot card "The Devil", and scorpio corresponds to "Death". It shouldn't need to be stated that this is one of the most infamous combinations possible!

Bud outdoes even the Masters of Chant here with his moving rendition of Electric Blue Eyes.

Bud demonstares he is the reincarnation of that guy from The Doors with Riders on the Storm.

There may be more out there, but they are probably too awesome to share!
