we all have dreams, i'm sure

munkus wants to be the rootinest, tootinest most bluetooth-wearing lawyer

beavotron wants to be melded with valve software in some grotesque gabe newell/awesome artist monstrosity

rankenphile wants to chop heads with a yardarm and ride roughshod through the fields of 16th century europe


what do you want to do? how are you going to do it?

    Currently I'm trying to actually use my EMT license and overcome the crippling fear of killing someone or ramming the bus into a pole on the way to a call.

    So I'm working 3 days a week at a golf course and letting my certification rot like a shmuck even though I passed the state exam with flying colors in record time.

    I wanna be a successful architect. Or I wanna do level design for a game company. Or an Anthony Bourdain roadie.

    I am already working on the first one nonstop, too bad there is no work. I need to man up on some architectural competitions.

    But seriously, I'd like to get into public service. I suppose the first thing to do is prove myself valuable in my city, by working in a capacity that creates jobs and prosperity. Maybe I'll start a business. That would also be good for making connections.

    In all seriousness though, my "dream" at the moment is to quit my current full-time job and start up some of my own freelance web design work.

    I am achieving this by quitting work (I resigned two days ago), and getting my things ready for a few projects I already have lined up for me after I finish my current job in 4-6 weeks time.

    edit: Quitting was really hard, but once I did it I felt like a massive weight had fallen off my shoulders. Feelsgoodman.

    I want to work on a unified social theory like the great thinkers of yore. Like Marx, or Weber or maybe Foucault.

    But that's a pipe dream, really.

    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

    I've actually been thinking of going the EMT route for a long time. I went to nursing school but ended up deciding it wasn't what I wanted to do with my life.

    My goal is to find out what the requirements are in my state to achieve EMT-B, and I'm going to achieve it by checking online and harassing some dudes at a nearby firestation tomorrow after work.

    I want to teach. My school may not be holding the teaching credential program during the spring though, and neither are any of the other colleges accessible to me...

    So I may be boned for a semester?

    Also I'm not sure whether I want to do single or multiple subject (basically it's a middle/high school vs. elementary school dilemma). I feel I know my subject very well and so could be valuable doing a single subject, but the need might be greater at the elementary level. Decisions

    Once you realize that 90% of the stuff you usually buy contains really disgusting and/or dangerously unhealthy shit you can't stop but read every label and the list of ingredients, every time, just to be sure.
