28 DAY WRITING CHALLENGE: Day 06
Write your goals for the near future, and your big lifetime goals.
Define a “goal”, cause eating something I saw on an episode of Man VS Food is pretty high up on my list of things to do - while some people think that’s a pretty dumb thing to aim for in life…
I guess the nearest goal and questionably easiest would be to design a shirt for Threadless with the goal of getting it printed. But because of my messed up sleep-schedule as of late, it’s completely taken the “wind out of my sails” for doing pretty much anything.
I guess fixing my messed up sleep-schedule should be a goal I need to fix as soon as possible… :/
I’d like to learn how to speak Spanish properly. I was doing pretty well with it over at my old retail job, if you can call “not knowing every other word, or structure, or verbs, or nouns, almost everything really” pretty well. And I’ve never had a lesson !!
I want to play the bass guitar. Years ago, I found a LEARN BASS GUITAR FOR DUMMIES book at a secondhand bookstore with the instructional dvd and everything, now all I need is a bass guitar. But not just any bass guitar - a Mark Hoppus Fender Signature Precision Jazz Bass Guitar in seafoam green. They’ve stopped making them with the opaque colours since about 2007 (I think?) The new ones are transparent where you can see the wood grain through the paint. If I’m going to be so picky for this one guitar, something like that shouldn’t bother me.
Big lifetime Future goals: I want to find a job where I feel challenged every day, in the sense that I know I can do the work to the best of my ability and do it very well. I want to work with a team of people, most of whom I would like to call my friends one day. I honestly know that you can’t be “everyone’s friend”, but I’d like to think that if I was stuck with the same people every working day - they would at least treat me with respect, the way that I would always treat them.
I want to find a girl to spend the rest of my life with… Based on past experiences, maybe that involves changing everything about myself. I don’t even know anymore.
The biggest lifetime (and ultimate) goal of mine is to live in the United States. I’m trying to. Really trying. My whole life I’ve been trying, in so much as I’ve been living each and every day not over there wishing that I was while at the exact same feeling in my soul that I never will, sadly. What I’m doing now to hopefully get in is maybe the closest I’ve ever come to possibly making it happen, but it’s so tough.
Some dreams just don’t come true. No matter how hard you try…
If I’m going to be there for the rest of my life, I want to do it right and get in the proper way, all above board, legal, etc. But the more I try, the more I’m discovering that I have nothing to offer, making it that much harder to get in.
This is making me really depressed. Let’s just stop talking about this…
