not just another monkey
in the local paper a week or so ago, there was a story on a woman in her 60's who, ten years ago, made a list of the goals she wanted to accomplish in her life. they weren't goals like most people's, like balance the checkbook, get the oil changed, finish the laundry....they were BIG goals, like walk the great wall of china, publish and produce a play, stuff like that. it took her ten years to accomplish her 20 goals, and now she's made a list of 20 more. she funds all this by entering ( and winning! ) sweepstakes and contests.
well, that sure made me sit up and think. maybe my goals are too small, or too narrow. maybe i need to expand my horizons a little. not that we don't need the little goals, but perhaps we need to extend our reach beyond what we think we can do, in order to push ourselves to realize our full potential.
with that in mind, i have made my own 20 Goals To Do Before I Die And Go To Hell list:
1. swim with the dolphins.
2. write a novel or collection of short stories and get it published.
3. perfect a stand-up comedy routine and perform it live on jay leno.
4. learn HTML and build my own website. ( small to you, but huge to me. )
5. experience ten orgasms within a 24 hour period. ( hey, this is my list, ok?? )
6. travel to england to visit the london tower and stonehenge.
7. meet stephen king and bitch him out for taking my book title.
8. learn to drive a motorcycle.
9. take my 9 college credits and parlay that into an actual degree.
10. learn herbology and aromatherapy and become a holistic healer. with robes and everything.
11. take cooking classes.
12. get all three of my children together for a professional portrait. ( harder than it sounds, friends and neighbors. )
13. meet in person the four people i have met on the internet that have been so influential on my life. party like it's 1999.
14. play texas hold 'em in a professional tournament at the bellagio in las vegas and finish in the money.
15. see the pacific ocean ( the place of my birth ) one more time.
16. travel to ireland to kiss the blarney stone.
17. learn to play the piano.
18. visit the penguins in antartica.
19. participate in "trading spaces" or "trailer fabulous".
20. go for another ten orgasms.
no limits, peeps. that's what you have to strive for. the little goals are very important - it's what keeps our day to day world moving on. but the big ones - well, that's what keeps our dreams alive, and without dreams we're just monkeys doing what we do because the other monkeys do it. and i don't know about you, but i don't want to be just another monkey.

the knight was drafted to work today and sent into a REALLY bad part of town. i'm pissed because working six days a week leaves very little time for anything else and i'm scared to death of where he's working.
*sigh*
equal parts terror and joy, i'm telling you.
can we get a freakin break here??
****
he truly is a knight. gawd, i love that man.

the girlchild is going through some hell with the boyfiend's lunaticmother...there are crazy people everywhere. saf, you're right....i feel sorry for her offspring, too. don't people see what they do to others when they behave so cruelly? that's one thing i will never understand, is the cruelty perpetuated by people on others. beyond my ken...so i guess that's a good thing.
****
so make your goal lists, people....make 'em big...don't be just another monkey, hey?
