Bloggers love to bloggy-blog about all the fun, interesting things they do, their fun, interesting conversations, and their fun, interesting travels. Well, today, I’d rather explore the gaping holes in my life.

Everyone has a list of non-experiences that would make a “normal” person gasp:

“You’ve NEVER been skiing?”
“You don’t know ANY Sly & the Family Stone songs?”
“You’ve NEVER tried gelato?”

Of course, the modern world is filled with so many places to see, experiences to try, and foods to eat, you know, every single person can come off like a sheltered thumb-sucker if you ask enough questions.

Having typed that, and in the spirit of disclosure and humility, I now present:

Judge me harshly if you must, then tell me about your own life’s unforgivable omissions.

I got the side of my face pierced, but since I got a corporate job, I took the piece out. Now it’s only noticeable when I drink and a little liquid dribbles out and down to my jaw. Hopefully, the hole will fill in, and I’ll lose this…
