Goals.

[Merica]

So, I've been keeping a to-do list or a list of goals, and I thought it might be fun to share, and also ask you all what your goals are! So, in the name of more conversation and learning about you, here goes:

get suspenders
get saw for brian (check!)
get out of rockford (check!)
roll down hills
get job
climb trees with or without heels
go back to barcelona
play more music with more people
bring blanket to top of mountain behind city
explore south america
get un-job (check??)
Live in Minneapolis with Josie and leave the 1700 euros in Spain for when go back.
explore north Africa
hula hoop more (semi-check, this one isn't finished, but in process)
get cats
hang out on tiffany's couch
more tattoos
learn Ion's giant song
learn Catalan
get science job here
go to grad school in barcelona
more Les Jordis
learn lots of words.
be a scientist in spain.
get Adriana and Holger to come visit the Barcelona!

It is ever-growing, and also not in any specific order. What do you guys want to do?

That's a huge list. My list is actually REALLY short. It's not that I don't have things I want to do ... it's that my brain is pretty dumb when it comes to recalling things like that on command.

Anyhow, having said that, here are some goals of mine:

1. Get my Associate's Degree (AAS). I've already met one goal, which was to actually GO to school. I started three weeks ago after having not been in any sort of classroom at all in over 19 years. I'm currently attending Ivy Tech. Here's the website: http://www.ivytech.edu/

2. Get a better job. Working two jobs is baloney and eventually I want to be able to have ONE decent-paying job (see #1).

3. Get out of debt. Credit cards are evil. I got sucked into that trap about ten years ago.

4. Travel more. I love getting away from here and going anywhere, really. I just love the idea of going SOMEWHERE, ANYWHERE, and getting to do things that I don't or can't here at home. For instance ... I've been to Myrtle Beach, SC three times now. My favorite part about going? Walking along the beach looking for shells, and going to sleep at night to the sound of the ocean. Pretty simple stuff, but profound at the same time.

5. More piercings and more tattoos. I'm living proof that you're never "too old". That "too old" line is BS, anyways. Do I WONDER sometimes if I've overcrowded my ears and face? Sure. But I'm still not too old. LOL

Mine contradict each other sometimes.

1. get a car.
2. buy more guns/ammo/standard capacity mags. Mostly stuff Obama would ban the first chance he gets. Better investment than stock market. $500 rifle+ban= $5000 rifle $10 magazine+ban= $125 magazine. You get the picture.

3. new motorcycle
4. new place to live
5. save some money
6. make "bug out bag(s)" for eventual zombie apocolypse
7. get a 3 legged dog
8. find a woman to come and mess it all up again.

Sela, don't see my list of goals as a measure of how motivated I am or to mean that I have huge plans with my life, it's something I've been working on since I got back from Barcelona in July, and every time I think of something, I put it on there. That's almost as good as actually doing it, right?

Going back to school after 19 years is pretty damn admirable, I wish you the best of luck!

Also, PiercedinPittsburgh, that's hilarious! My goals also contradict one another and aren't even organized into two different paths, see: Live with Josie in Minneapolis, and ... oops! it's not there. Right now, I'm looking in chicago for jobs. hehe.

Get more piercings/tattoos.
Move somewhere green.
Take art classes for fun.

Do a better job of saving money (which contradicts a few of the above ).

OOOH! Good one.

I don't wanna worry about money any more either. Think in my case, death is the only thing that'll work for me.

My brother told me he just got back from a visit with his financial planner. He was told he's right on track for retirement! He just needs to keep working until he dies!!!!!
