A thread for talking about the things you want out of life, and what you're doing to make it happen!
I've always wanted to learn how to skateboard, but never actually took any steps to achieve that goal until yesterday. My fear of failure, or just not being as good at things as I want to be, has stopped me from going after things I want for basically my whole life. But that's shitty and I'm tired of it, so I bought a skateboard!
It's fucking awesome! I spent a bunch of time last night falling on my ass, and it was the most fun I've had in forever. I'm super proud of myself.
So I want to hear about all the rad shit you guys want to do, have done, and are working towards!

Before that I actually want to write one of the book ideas I have.
The world is my oyster for at least another 30 minutes.
Steam
Never a proper fresh oyster.
Those seem terrifying.
The world is my smoked oyster from a can.
I draw every day now. I think I'm getting better, it's hard to tell some times.

Fresh Oysters taste like somebody had a super bad cold, and coughed up a big gob of phlegm into a shotglass full of seawater.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
ok maybe still do a few robot things to pay the bills.
Mmm.
Their aphrodisiac qualities are becoming quite apparent.
Buying a house sucks, its a pain in the ass.
On our dreams - our current goal is to get rid of our past debt, improve our credit scores and get a house. So far this year we've paid off two credit card debts that had gotten into the court system. Once we get rid of the last few skeletons (like an old Verizon bill, stuff like that) we're going to work on the IRS bill. I think we'll be buying a house by next summer and that feels pretty awesome.
then sell them, and live fat off the profits.
Our league is pretty serious, we have 5 or 6 skaters in our league on Team Canada and our allstars are ranked among the top 40 teams in the world.
I love derby, and I adore my team, but this is the first serious coaching role I've had and it's been an insanely steep learning curve.
This past Saturday we had our house team season opener - basically our first bout within our league.
We came back from an early 50 point deficit to tie the game in the 2nd half. In the final jam, the last minute of play, we were 4 points behind, and if our jammer got out of the pack first, basically took possession in that last minute, we probably would have won.
It never felt like a loss. So many of my skaters said I had a whole lot to do with our success, especially grooming the 7 rookies we played that night. (the other team only played 4 rookies, and also they played 3 of the aforementioned All Stars. We have none.)
I love doing this, and now that I've got a rad new job, my number one goal for this year is to keep my team improving, and to take that damn championship.

That and stream your minecrafting on Twitch. I learned the other week that people actually pay to watch other people play video games, and surprising amounts in some cases. It actually made me feel old, I had such a hard time wrapping my brain around how much this one guy was getting in donations to play a game with a mic and camera on.
That's my new goal this year - I want to be a high paid Youtube Superstar Phenomenon like all the people my son watches play Minecraft. Is there a Dummies book on that yet?
I think the secret with YouTube is to affect a high pitched voice, scream constantly, and make a lot of rape jokes.
The twitch streamer I saw making mad $$$ was actually a nice, well-spoken guy which made it sting a lot less.
It'd be like My Drunk Kitchen only she'd make houses and shit instead of macaroni and cheese

A.) Come up with a wacky name with Lindsey Lohan and Minecraft in the title
B.) Figure out how to record gameplay sessions
C.) Select a drink for that night
D.) Select a project for the night
E.) Drink while building said project
F.) Profit?
That's my only noteworthy tangentially related dream thing.
Someday I'll have some real life goals and ambitions.
Someday.
And then the world will burn.
(yes).
I've been writing a metric shitton this year, exercising more, managing my money better. I've had some big deals go through.
Basically, everything's coming up Milhouse. My short-term goal is to get this Justified spec script done in the next week or two, and get it sent out to various TV writing fellowships. I think I stand a decent chance of landing one this year, all things considered. Feeling good about this year.
Is it also a coincidence that you bear a startling resemblance to Gargamel?
No.
I think not.
Still trying to win a lawsuit on that one for them retroactively using my likeness.

tl;dr, there's so many things I wanna do but not enough time
