A. I live my life with no regrets. You learn from everything you give up or fail to accomplish, and you accomplish new things from failing at old ones. If I offend someone today, tomorrow someone will find strength from what I did. If I judge too harshly one day, the next day I will be judged harshly and will learn from my mistakes. Regrets are for people who dwell and wallow. I do not.
--- Johnny Weir
Edith Piaf performs "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien."
Lyrics below translated from the French.
No, nothing at all
No, I regret nothing
Neither the good things
people have done to me
people have done to me
Nor the bad —
it's all the same to me
it's all the same to me
No, nothing at all
No, I regret nothing
It's been paid for,
swept away, forgotten
swept away, forgotten
I don't care
about the past
about the past
With my memories
I have lit the fire
My sorrows, my pleasures
I don't need them any more
Swept away the love affairs
And all their tremblings
Swept away for always
I'm starting from scratch
No, nothing at all
No, I regret nothing
Neither the good things
people have done to me
people have done to me
Nor the bad —
it's all the same to me
it's all the same to me
No, nothing at all
No, I regret nothing
For my life, for my joys
Today, they begin
with you.

Simply put? Wonderful! Wonderful pictures, wonderful words (I´ve never translated that song)and wonderful performance.
Thanks for that Friday blog.
No Regrets (sorry, lazy) is one of those songs you really *feel* when you hear it. I can't wait to see Johnny skate to this, live. So beautiful. Fingers crossed for Philly AND/or Lake Placid!
And congratulations to Tara and Josh!! I hope your lives are filled to the brim with happiness and love.
Inspiring!
Love how the costume flutters and gives a hint of flight.
Wonderful use of black and white photography to capture and emphasize form.
Another hit for MM! Thanks so much for sharing David's pix with us.
Thanks for the blog MM, I love the still shots! and the performance is both powerful and beautiful at the same time. I hope I get to see it live soon.
