goals and dreams

[Omsk]

I want to become a historian,or a history teacher at a university,or in a high school.Or to get involved in politics. (thats more likely)
For now il just read and study.I gave up on skiing,although i was pretty good.

Be successful with my band is a long term goal. Not like the rockstar type of successful, but being respected and well known in our field of music would be fcking great. I know the chances are slim, but it's something to keep me going.

Also to find work which I don't despise would be great. Preferably working 'on the road' and seeing lots of different countries and people. I can't see myself going to the same place of work for like 10 or 20 years or something. It would make me severely depressed.

Also maybe one day go to university to study philosophy, but idk if that is a good choice for me. It would result in severe debts and the rate at which uni degrees are becoming increasingly worthless and in no way a guarantee for a well paying job is pretty unsettling.

"Hopes" and "dreams"? You all make me laugh.

I wish I were joking about that.

[Admiral Swagmeister G-Funk]

I want to get at least one degree. Afterwards I'd like to do journalism or go into something academic, I also write screenplays now and then and it I suppose a dream would be to make one professionally (just a short film would be fine). Ultimate dream would be to see some kind of success with my musical talents, as in music I have made being listened to and appreciated outside of just the local area.

oh well... nothing big... just... beat the capitalism! :O
and maybe a kid so i can grow a young revolutionary?

Fuck talent. Besides, who says you gotta be 'talented' to make a film or any form of art for that matter.

Nic.

This. The way I see it, most art forms are like playing guitar (I play bass passably well and I'm self taught). You don't have to be naturally inclined to be even moderately successful. All it takes is a lot of drive and energy. Formal training doesn't hurt, but it damned sure ain't necessary.

Anyway, failing the demise of global capitalism, these are my hopes or dreams or whatever.

1) Short term - Get back into school. I really would like to finish my degree, if for no better reason than I've already put too much energy into it to let it slide. That might lead me into teaching history and/or poli-sci as a profession, but that's not a goal in and of itself.

2) Long term - Get an A-class football [North Americans read: soccer] coaching license. Like the OP, I was hailed as some kinda damned genius as a kid and for what it's worth, my intellect is really the attribute of which I'm proudest. I have a hard time believing any professional footy coach currently working is really that much (if at all) smarter than I am... So I don't see why I couldn't do it given the right training.

3) Pie in the sky - I'd love to get enough cash together to supply the seed money for a collectively owned indie/art house movie theatre. It'd be my dream to facilitate the foundation of a place like that, where administrative personnel (bookkeepers, inventory managers, etc) are elected, hiring and firing is done democratically, and the films we screen are determined by collective consensus. And if Explosive Situation and Jimmy Higgins ain't busy doing something else, they're gonna be the first folks I enlist to help.

Oh hell yeah man. And actually, I do know an anarchist who is a theater projectionist... so now all we need is money and a building. I'm buying a lotto ticket right now

I might have to buy one as well. There's actually a building available in our area that given a little remodeling might do. The Parkway Speakeasy over there near Laney is still empty so far as I know.
