Man, I'm tired today. Yet another night in which I didn't get a lot of sleep. My own fault... I was exhausted yesterday, worked through lunch, and then went home in the normal LDP traffic jam and didn't go to bed right after supper. After dinner, me & Honey watched Unfaithful ( starring Richard Gere and Diane Lane. Was quite an outstanding movie actually... ) on HBO till 2 o'clock in the morning and instead of going to bed right after that, we spent the night talking about our future, our family and so and so forth. Bedtime stories you can say...

There are days that make me realize that I need to live for about 500 years to accomplish all the things I want to do with my life. How does one have a life in which they can be a successful engineer, programmer, managing director, politician, sports announcer, DJ, and a F1 driver? I haven't been able to figure this out yet... and that's not even including the things that I'd like to do but don't think I could (yes...I honestly believe I could do any of the things in that list) - like an EPL Striker or a doctor.

Well, it's just not fair if you ask me. When you're growing up your parents tell you all the time that you can be whatever you want when you grow up. But what they DON'T tell you is that you have to actually decide on only one or maybe two things - three at the oustide.

"Yeah, you can be Prime Minister when you grow up...but that means that you'll have to get into the political system at around age 25 and work your butt there for at least 10 to 15 years, which means you can kiss your aspirations of being a famous sports announcer by day and computer programmer by night goodbye... especially since you can't be a sports announcer these days unless you played a sport, and with your voice lessons and debate classes you'll have no time for that."

I feel like I've been gypped. So many aspirations, only one lifetime to live... unless my lofty goal of scientist works out somehow and I come up with a formula to stop the aging process!
