I’ve always wanted to do that!

4. Open up a factory that manufactures something. Anything.
5. Be a part of the “industry”.

7. Have a sexy trophy wife that only loves me for my money.
8. Travel. Take pictures. Wildlife, city scenery, people, animal dung, everything.
9. Be a marine in the army without the risk of getting killed or having to kill. Virtual reality anyone?
10. Be inspired by others to inspire others.

20. Learn to drive a stick shift.

we wake up expecting great things
to unravel as we open our eyes
only to see the bitter day
dark and cloudy,
with a chance of rain
and an umbrella in your left hand.

at least we were prepared
to face what is to come.
waking up was hard,
inspiring to move was harder.
knowing i am alive
is good enough for me.
