What do YOU want???

~ I purposely made that question as nasty as possible.


But it is true

When I was young and still in school - I had no idea. I was young and into having fun, going to parties, I didn't know...


It would be fun to have all kinds of things that could gratify me - but first I needed things that would enable me to survive

I don't really care about having a bigger set of wheels than my neighbor, or a bigger house - but I did figure out that if I rented it I was giving my money away.


BOTTOM LINE:

What is it that you want for your own future?

What do you have to have to be happy about how you live?

Just one more year Wolfie. That's all I want. Just one more year.


On a rolling scale, of course....

What I want is something I can never have, and it depresses the hell out of me. I want to be able to live a life without consequences...

Actually - the right to grow "X" amount of pot plants for home use and not have your home taken away by the federal government is a hugely attractive idea...

Sort of like brewing your own beer - but less complicated.


* I recently got a book on home brewing, and I am studying it. Legally I can brew 500 gallons a year as the primary home owner, but who's counting?


And you still gotta buy malt, hops, equipment, yeast, and maintain the whole works.


Hmm...
500 divided by fifty two is somewhere around ten gallons a week, a tad over a gallon a day
A gallon is 128 ounces, a twelve pack is 144.

Dunno - it depends on how good it is.

I'd really like to say I am free of debt(damm school loans).
To own my car outright(making it #2)

More tools and a garage to work in(never have enough tools).
A girl who likes to get muddy and greasy with me(ooh-la-la)

I never had the fun toys growing up. No quad, snowmobile, boat and everything else all my friends had. I was taught that if I didn't have the money for it, I wouldn't get it. That's why I don't have a credit card, I'd end up making myself deep in debt. It wasn't until I got older and had a job and responsibility did I get those fun things I wanted. It was also about the same time I discovered craigslist and now I can't stop. Also, if somebody has a 20'+ enclosed trailer for sale for a good price, PM me hehe

What I want is a decent paycheck, reasonable work hours, and a loyal person to love on. I have that and I'm set for most of my life.

The closest I'll get to a garage, unless I get married and get on post housing, will be getting a 20' enclosed trailer and making it my workshop!
