I have vowed for as long as I remember to keep the attitude of having no regrets in life and to try anything at least once.  Perhaps it stems from the ONE thing I learned in college (that I remember).  While studying Theatre Arts, I was hammering out requirements for my new major in an effort to graduate in a reasonable amount of time and found myself as a second year senior with a bunch of experimental theatre types in Acting I.  During the intro to improvisation section of the class I discovered I hated improv.  Mostly because I was horrible at it and I truly believe I am only funny accidentally.  Mix that with control issues and self-criticism and you get a terrible improv actress.  I wasn’t really comfortable being quick-witted, or even quick at anything for that matter because I was mostly stoned as a baseline for my college education and when put in the position to be in front of people with an objective to create humor well, lets just say I failed.  I DID gain an extraordinary appreciation for those who are good at it and aside from that, I received the greatest life lesson a person could ever be taught by a professor….”Always say YES”.  Picture this….. The game is “Freeze” and 3 people are on stage with task to create a scene.  Someone yells FREEZE and the scene stops and another player tags into the scene to further the scene development or divert the direction all together.  For it to actually work, the players have to agree on what is happening in the scene.  For instance, one person starts with something like “I have a lawnmower” and grabs the other player’s legs and proceeds with “mowing the lawn” complete with sound effects.  The third player interjects and says “that’s not a lawnmower!  We’re at the beach and that’s a bucket of sand!”.  What happens next? I’ll tell you. Nothing.  Scene has ENDED.  Player #3 has just fucked up the whole scene by saying “NO (that’s not a lawnmower its a bucket)”.  Get it?  Me too.  I got it, I ran with it, and it became my philosophy in life…..Always say YES or you end up fucking everything up.  I’m not a complete idiot.  When life mantra becomes “always say yes”, I fully understand that leaves you very open to questionable circumstances, but it also opens up a gigantic door to extreme fun that I somehow lived to tell the tales of and while I have always took a personal oath to never regret anything I have done, there are a few things that have made it to the what I call the #norepeat category.
