I want to visit my friends in Cincinnati hundreds of times.

I want to know what it’s like to be loved by a woman.

I want more tattoos.

I want Flogging Molly to play at my birthday party.

I want to finish rating every song in iTunes.

I want to make a mix CD for every man, woman, child, dog, cat, mammal, quadruped, and invertebrate in the multiverse.

It’s interesting how our basic wants are so similar.

Aaargh: I think my S key is sticking. “Friends” and “things” rather than “friend” and “thing” – that just makes me sound lonely and single minded LOL

Josh gave a very good answer that I agree with. I want to be able to say, when I go, that I’ve been a good parent to my children (assuming I have any), a good son to my parents, a good brother to my siblings, a good husband/lover(I know how that sounds, stop sniggering)/whatever to whomever I’m with, a good friend to my friend, a good writer to my readers (fingers crossed that I have any) and so on.

I want to have finally put all my demons to rest, or at least some of the ones that haunt me most. I want to achieve the thing I desire, such as to have written and had published at least one novel.

If I can at least strike a few of the more important ones from the list I’ll have been lucky.

I just hope I can truly know who I am before I die and honestly say that I’m ok with that person.

I want to insure all my peeps feel as content as I do but not wanting so much / not asking for so much, as, after my 20′s going from nothing to Everything back down to nothing; I’ve noticed my 30′s are full of contentment from having very low expectations. Ironically, I gain more the less I want. I stress less than ever before, and wish that peace for all. But each has to find that on their own, their own way, so I won’t preach, just wish them peace.

I also VERY Much would like to make Bad Ass of The Week before I Die.

jack’s wasted life. this whole thing felt very palahniuk.
not like that’s ever a bad thing.

i feel like time is a nagging wife that’s worn me down. i can remember being 16, 17, so young and full of hope. still fully believing that anything was possible, nothing is out of reach. i got out on the road and did my growing up, only to feel like i’ve had the blinders ripped off my eyes. and it was as if i had succumb to the reality, pulled out of my ‘personal matrix.’

i finally realized that i won’t live forever. i had never really imagined a world without me in it before. the time i have on this rock is very limited and i better do what the fuck i can to enjoy it while i can. so, i’m trying and that’s all i can say.

before time crushes me: i want to write(more, and better). i want to spend everyday i can with my love. i want to visit india. i want to live in California, atleast once. i want to cover my body in ink.

I want to let ocean waves lap at my feet as the red sun approaches the horizon.

I want to write some story that gives somebody chills.

I want to hold my daughter again and see her smile.
