I want to piss off Evangelicals!
you already do…you’re gay.
I want to piss them off more!
Perhaps by expanding the “FRONTIERS OF SCIENCE” I will make them EXPLOSDE.
"Hemmingway never seemed to mind,
the banality of a normal life,
and I find,
it gets harder everytime.
So he aimed a shotgun into the blue,
placed his face in between the two,
and sighed…
here’s to life."
I want to walk the earth.
I’d like to just leave with nothing and just survive, maybe learn a thing or two.
I’d like to tell about it, or at least become a novelist, or write a screenplay.
I’m going to become a teacher, I don’t give a fuck about how much I make.
I run a small landscaping business, it’s exercise and allows for some occasional creativity and freedom.
If you want to make millions why would you waste your time with college. We are capatalist, so if you are smart, start a company and make some fucking millions.
I don’t ever want to have cable/satelite.
I’d like to have kids some day.
:bigclap:
I want to do more traveling. The internet age of instant information has taken a lot of the romance and mystery out of the world. The idea of a “small world” sucks. I want to be able to day dream about exotic and mysterious places in far away lands. The good news is that it’s really not that small and there’s plenty of places out there that seem like they’re from another planet. I want to explore.
Hey Fry… if you ever want to go to Another World (other than that really awful 80s soap opera), you should try driving through Niagara County between Lockport and Rochester. There are some very strange creatures out there.
lol lets not go getting crazy now. I’ve been to diamond mines in Africa, coral attolls in the south pacific, jungles in costa rica, but I’m not crazy enough to go exploring Niagara County.
Also referred to as a visit to “The County”
So that I don’t get accused of being totally OT.
I want to continue to be happy with the people that I care about. As I’ve gotten older my priorities have changed and will continue to do so. It is impossible for me at this point to know whether that means that I’ll want to have kids, or travel, or move to some small island in the middle of nowhere.
While people may say money doesn’t buy happiness, it certainly does prevent you from a heck of a lot of heartache. At this point I do enjoy working as a means for us to not have to want for much. I will always work in some capacity, my mind can’t stay idle, and I enjoy it. I only hope that I continue to feel that way, and never find myself in a position where I am cringing at the thought of getting up in the morning to go work to make the mortgage.
You can’t take anything you have with you when you leave, but its nice to feel that you’ve made a difference in people lives along the way. I think it is important to influence those around you positively and have an impact, but feeling like I need to be read about in the history books is a bit narcissistic IMO.
I also hope I never lose my ability to respond to a question without giving and sort of substantial answer. :mamoru:
Its amazing how your life can be effected by the people you choose as friends.
Qualities of the people you surround yourself with will rub off. Both good and bad.
As if you ever had that ability. :mamoru:
I wish I had more of a desire to leave a legacy. The idea of a legacy is horse shit (I mean, you’re dead so what does it matter) but it drives people to do greater and more fulfilling things in their lifetime, and gives them solace in a theoretical way to live forever.
:lol:
word. no one will ever be on their death bed and say “boy i wish i had less sex”.
as sad as this is to say, ultimately i define success by financial security. i know wife, kids, house, etc. i feel all that comes with financial security first. i know a lot of people say money doesn’t buy happiness, but people with money enjoy life more than poor people.
i do kind of hope i outgrow that thought process though because everytime i start making more money, it just makes me want to make even more.
as of late i have also started hoping that one day i start living a more healthy lifestyle. not enough to want to do anything about it right now, but enough that i hope to do something about it in the near future i think.

^ He gave me my first real software engineering job. Great guy, built a company from the ground up, sold it, then built up a couple more. Died in his office about 2 miles from where I work at the age of 46.
Makes you wonder if all that time he spent “building an empire” was worth it. Yeah, he left his family well off financially, but I bet they’d be willing to trade all that for just a little more time with him. I also have to wonder how much the stress of running his empire during this economic meltdown contributed to his early death.
I gotta say this death has really hit me pretty hard. Not because I was that close with him (we hadn’t spoken in close to a year), but because it’s making me really take a step back and look at what’s important in my life.
I 100% disagree with this comment. Look at rednecks! They make the most out of nothing. While it’s obvious that wealthy people can have nice things…that doesn’t always mean their enjoying life. There’s often that want to have more, have bigger, have better…but in the end are they ever truly happy with what they have?
Some of the people I’ve met in my life that were enjoying life were definitely not wealthy in terms of finances, but they had their family, friends, a roof over their head, and food on the table. If you’re recipe for success comes from material objects, that’s fine…different strokes for different folks:)
I once had high financial and career ambitions…but then I went through college and realized what was important for me iin life wasn’t difined by those needs. I’ve made good money, worked long hours at a cool job…been there, done that. But at the end of the day I wasn’t living my life, I was working.
Yea it really sucks…I work across the hall from IVR…and worked down the hall at 2810 when IVR was there…I have known Bob for a few years.
They came running over asking if anyone knew CPR 
You ever heard of the saying : The more you know, the more you realize you don’t know?
That’s how it is with a lot of people. If you stay sheltered, in one place your whole life… you sorta don’t know what else is out there. You are content with what you have.
I sort of wish I didn’t work for a billionaire, because I want to kill myself kinda now.
unless that person died of AIDS
OMG
Must. Not. Laugh.
I’m going to be a Saint
