Remember When You Had Hopes And Dreams?

Yeah but if we tax them less, they get to invest more money offshore, thus creating more job...

Oh. Shit. That doesn't make any sense.

 

Most things wrong with the world are greed based. I like your outlook, smart girl.

 

I'm not chasing after anyone. People can relaxxx knowing this.

 

Everything comes to he who waits but I'm tired of waiting so I'm gonna go get it.

 

"Yesterday has gone" - But
"Tomorrow is another day" - So
"Live for the moment" - And
"Keep the Faith" - Then,
"A Change is gonna Come"

 

i will always have hopes,
just not expectations for all of them
in what remains to me of THIS lifetime.

 

I dunno, I'm enjoying life. Great family, great friends, great job, looking forward to retirement in a year or so I can devote my life to my passions in life.

 

Waking up at midday, watching a whole lot of daytime TV to about 4pm, Pornhub 4-6pm, then a steak and a beer for dinner, reruns of Matlock after 8pm, sleep, repeat?

 

LMAO, not quite, I hate Matlock. Want to Get back into woodworking, see if there's a market for handmade outdoor furniture. I used to sell Adirondack chairs out of my garage. Usually sold around 40-50 a year, along with a half a dozen picnic tables.

 

i've never not had them. just less optimism for them when an austarian is in office.

what i dream about is more the kind of world in have to live in then my personal advantages or lack of them.
i always hope for things i can enjoy without having to own them.
the only reason i hope for, or own anything not needed to survive and stay out of trouble, is to make other things with them, that express my own fantasies and concepts.

it is both annoying and frustrating that i should have to own land, and indenture myself to doing so, to be able to build anything a government or even just a destructive person, isn't going to just come along and damage or destroy entirely. so i'm really not motivated by anything that demands that much, the would demand almost everything from me to be possible at all,

but things that i can do, make models of my ideas in the computer, and sometimes physical ones as well, those are what i do and enjoy.

 

unless you have less then ten years left to reasonably expect to live, you are never too old to have hopes and dreams. and even then, something more modest then building rome, you still can.

 

Welp... Counts me out.

 

when i was little i wanted to do and be everything. now i just want to be able to enjoy the rest of whatever time i have yet to live.
once upon a time i wanted a big piece of mountainous densely forested land to start a commune and a bunch of other things,
build the kind of tiny houses i imagine and design, raise red pandas and grow the bambo they like to eat. built ride on trains for a commune transit system.
stuff like that. i don't think i'd really be able to do most of that if i had the chance any more, nor expecting to.
when i was little i was going to be a politician, actor and ceo of a railroad. phew. pretty sure i wouldn't want the stresses of any of those things now.
i am doing something that i wanted to do that didn't exist yet when i was little though, making 3d cg places and stuff inside the computer.

 

Can I tell you, this made me laugh hard because of how terrible and true it all is. i cant help but see life similarly. how grim. we can hold hands if you'd like. dance through it all.

 

No...

No, I don't.

 

No, I don't remember.

 

Things worked out well for me. Married my dream girl and we're still married decades later. Did meaningful work and made a nice living. Raised two great kids. Retired comfortably and still able to do some volunteer work to help folks. Sure, there were some downtimes, but it's been a good life..

 

10-4 roger

 

I'm glad things worked out so well for you
