I'm slacking
Deal with it.
**********************************************************
Was rummaging through some old boxes at my mom's house yesterday when I found my old High School yearbook. I also found several items that I totally forgot about, including a list of Things-to-do-In-Life. I vaguely remember writing this and its dated April 1989. Here's the list with some commentary.
1) Graduate from college
So far so good. I'm 1 for 1.
2) Play trumpet in an orchestra.
Ok this one is a gray area. I'm sure I meant the NY Phil or Boston Pops but SHSU Orchestra 3rd Chair will have to suffice. Count this one as a 'yes'.
3) Make $50,000 a year.
This made me laugh. I'm sure my friends in school wrote that they wanted to make a million dollars, but I just wanted what I wanted. Another yes. And sadly, its going to be back on my list.
4) Get married and have kids.
Well I did get married. And I did have kids. So we can mark this one down as an accomplishment.
5) Run a marathon.
I have no earthly idea why this would be on the list. I hated running then and I hate running now.
6) Run for public office.
Again I'm not sure why this is here. I have always been active in politics, even at a young age, but I'm a kingsmaker...not a king. Pry will never happen. (i'm not really a kingsmaker)
7) Move out of Edna
Another funny. I moved...then came back. So technically this one is fulfilled.
8) Own a mercedes.
What the eff? I think i'm trying to fill the list now. Is a Dodge Ram extended cab close enough? This one is going down in the 'NOT FULLFILLED' column.
9) Go to Disney World.
Now I think i'm trying to be funny. I have been to both the Anaheim and Orlando parks so a big check mark on this one.
10) Read the bible in its entirety.
This must have been put in by someone else. I've yet to get past Genesis.
So this was funny (for me) and I've actually accomplished 6 of the 10 on the list. Not bad. Here's my new list in no particular order.
1) Play in the World Series of Poker's Main Event.
2) Get a PhD in Literature
3) Make a million dollars :)
4) Buy a boat and fish more than once a year.
5) Buy a bigger house!
6) Tell my kids I love them every single day of their lives
7) Own a Lexus. Mercedes suck.
8) Win a WSOP bracelet (if i do this, then i cross off several items on this list)
9) Run a marathon
10) Find A WOMAN who makes me laugh, is familiar with both Chaucer and Tchaikovsky, loves Democratic Party politics, loves my kids, thinks I walk on water, thinks Karen Carpenter is pretty swell.
I may need to clone myself for the last one.

Why do birds
Suddenly appear?
Everytime you are near
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you
p.s. did u put marathon back on as a joopke? 'cause that;'s funny.
I did.
marathon = chasing allison
I'm only good for short bursts of "speed".
i use the word 'speed' very loosely.
outside looking in... #10 makes me sound gay. NTTAWWT.
comments?
or from the 70s
yes, most good women know their fine china like Chaucer and Tchaikovsky. I know I do.
Since you said "someone" not "woman", I'm going with gay. NTTAWTT.
You'll know for sure when gay porn sites start liking to you. Have Zooks keep an eye out. Or Sly.
That's even funnier now...

So, you're a woman? Oh, and the bold is overcompensation, too. SOOOO screams "gay". When you going to make the Fab 5 into the Flaming 6?
You know how i know you're gay? because you like chaucer and macramed shorts.
