What are your goals?

[der_kluge]

Everyone should have a goal. Even if it's something minor. What are your goals in life?

Mine:

To publish a piece of music.

To actually finish composing a Suite I've been working on since I was 16.

To finally get more posts on here than Hellhound.

To be making 100k by the time I'm 35.

To finish my Master's degree in two more years.

 

[Angcuru]

Get my Ph.D in psychology.

Publish my stories.

Fall madly and mutually in love.

 

[Napftor]

To get published. Er, I guess I achieved that one.

Like die_kluge, I'd also like to publish some music of mine and maybe, fates willing, some fiction. Nothing too lofty. I'll set other goal's as these are accomplished. Optimism!

Right now, to remain a smoker who doesn't' smoke anymore.

(Three weeks w/o a cigarette and counting! And zero butts smoked in 2005!)

I promised myself I would be accomplished, famous, and respected in my field, and I was when I left it, with a couple major patents and copyrights to be proud of.

I promised myself I would get better, learn to walk again, hold a fork in my hand, and eat a steak without having to have it cut into small pieces for me. I did. Twice.

I promised myself I would give my wife a house and new car of our own. I did, and I did even better than I expected.

That just leaves two. I will never let myself get that disabled again, not now that I have the power to chose my doctors instead iof being stuck with one from my insurance plan. And I will be a published author of novel-length fiction before I turn 40.

So far, so good. All but the last one met, and then I can make up some new ones.

 

[GlassJaw]

Win the lottery.

 

[Captain Tagon]

Get a job.

Write a comic.

Write an epic fairy tale poem.

Get published.

Get married and have kids.

Record an album.

Do a national tour.

 

[Torm]

To see my kids move out to be reasonably well off and happy.

To not die badly, from cowardice, or as a burden on my children.

And maybe, after my experiences today, to design a type of toilet that makes some freakin' sense, without stupid unnecessary holes in the bottom of the tank when latches on the SIDES would do just as good a job.

 

[Wombat]

Given the number of books I read, I have promised myself that I shall put one on the shelf with my name.

So I better finish up that Arthurian book fast

 

[RangerWickett]

Publish two novels and at least one full comic series.

Visit Japan. This one is easy - it just requires timing.

Write the story, script, screenplay, whatever for a major motion picture.

Do the same for a video game.

Go into politics and be a smart politician.

Wife and kids would be great, but I can only hope that I'll meet the right woman.
