"There, I said it. Dang, why did I say it?"

This is what I hate the most - I hate it when I say something and almost immediately regret the fact that I said it. I do it a lot at work; I get sarcastic, I kid around and most of the time, I'm telling myself "why the heck did you have to say that? You sounded like a fool!" It's worse during arguments. I am the argumentative type - if there's ever a type. I hate, hate that I can spew out an argument faster than I can ay that word "argument." I get frustrated with myself. It's like, did it even matter what I had to say? Often times, 90% of what I said didn't matter, so why did i say it?

I want to practice meditation more and learn to slow down. Learn to be silent. Learn to listen and not have the need to respond. Possible? I hope so.
