Today, I was struck with the realisation of how dreary the lifes of some people really are... every day, they follow the same old routine, they never do anything exciting at all... but without excitement, where's the fun? Or the sense of adventure? Would you want to end up behind a desk for 40 odd years?
At that moment I knew one thing: that such kind of existence is not for me. I intend to enjoy life to its fullest... I want to "see" the world, "feel" its rich diversity of cultures (Australia, here I come), go skiing, wild water rafting, bungeejumping, surfing (anyone say "Hawaii"?), deltaflying, mountainbiking, sailing... all things that make someone really feel alive&kicking! Call me a dreamer (strange coincedence: I'm playing an mp3 called: China in your hands at the moment, which is making this growing sensation even stronger), but I'd rather have such dreams and the slightest possibilty of seeing them forfilled, than be stuck in the World of the common people...
If you still haven't stopped reading after this stream of consciousness: I'd like to know what you have planned out for yourself... just to make sure I am not the only one who is a bit crazy

I've learned NOT to make too many plans in my life.... things are chaotic enough without them! I just go day to day and hope for the best.... if you plan on doing something, then the moment when you get nailed by a cadillac and a moving truck while stopped at a yeild just sucks that much more.... you don't realize what you've lost until it's gone, so I prefer instead to be thankful for what I have.... or at least that's what I TRY to do

If I had the money to go to Australia or Hawaii I would in a heart beat. However, LaCrosse Wi. is on top of my 'places to visit' list. I havn't seen my friends there in 5 years!

It's too late. I already have a career, and my dream right now is to make enough money to have a nice apartment and marry my Julie. Then the rest of the world can go HANG, for all I care. All my fantasies have pretty much been subsumed by that overwhelming desire.
I have a job that CAN be dreary at times.
However, while performing rote tasks, I have developed the ability to separate my mind from my body, so that while my body and lower functions are busy completing repetitive tasks, or waiting, or listening to someone drone, my mind is piloting the USS Invictus against a fleet of Jem'Hadar bugs, while an instrumental full rock/orchestral version of "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is playing at volume 10.

Hey, a full orchestra at high tempo can make almost ANYTHING rock. You have to imagine it. Cymbals crashing like giant waves, Tympany pounding out a driving beat, violins and brass doing what used to be the vocal parts, FORTISSIMO!!! I ain't talking sedate classical stuff here. I'm talking like Metallica's S&M Album. LOUD. FAST. HARD.

DAILY: Resist urge to stay in bed every morning. Resist urge to throttle stupid Uniontown drivers. Resist urge to tell patrons the truth about themselves, their behaviour, and their children's behaviour, thus keeping job.
SHORT-RANGE FUTURE Find affordable apartment. Move in. Move Julie in. Wed Julie.
LONG-RANGE FUTURE and highly unlikely dreams Write book of poetry Write novel. Collaborate on novel with Julie. Move to Arizona. Enter politics. Become active in several causes, including better law enforcement, education, and expanded development of space. Be important enough to have a statue to me erected somewhere. Ammass a fortune large enough to help finance a space probe mission. Meet several celebrities, inc. Neil Gaiman, Tori Amos, Andy Robinson, Ally Walker.
Totally ridiculous dreams: Conquer Earth. Make contact with extraterrestrials. Live in a holodeck with a replicator. Death to all who oppose me. Build, or have built for me, a large-scale (at least twice the size of the current scale) every Trek starship model ever. To scale. Hang them in the Great Hall of my mansion.
