    Default goals and dreams

    do you guys have any longterm goals?

    when i was a bit younger i was much more driven because i was treated by everybody as if i was a fuckin genius or some bs so i dreamt wild but now that i am older i just wanna chill the fuck out and tell people to not meddle with my books and my weed. idk right now i just have as a goal to move to canada and then establish myself stable enough to do whatever i want with my money because i already made peace with the fact that i can;t find anything i would reallly rreally like to do for a living so rather than being all ideological im just gonna whore myself out to the highest bidder and with the least hours if it isnt something more or less morally reprehensible.

    my goal right now is to move into canada and work for a bit. i already got my paperwork etc and its a bit exciting. my new boss is gonna send me to toronto, vancouver etc to get drunk with other scientists and talk about quarks. im doing a masters also under him but idk if i wanna do a phd because academia seems horrible and i rather just do computer monkey work and work a normal 40h week shift rather than doing what amounts to 70h

    i also publish short stories on the side because i like writing and i have no expectations from it because anybody who thinks writing for a living is generally viable is kidding themselves but maybe someday the material condiutions and the alignment of the planets is right so that whatever shit my degenerate mind produces appeals the masses

    I want to live in France or a French speaking country at some point. I'll probably do it when my son is a bit older. I think that traveling a bit will teach him a lot.

    One day, I would love to be able to write for a living, but I'll probably just have to accept it will always be a hobby, because my writing isn't that great and I don't like people reading it in case they think it's rubbish haha.
    "Her development, her freedom, her independence must come from and through herself. First, by asserting herself as a personality, and not as a sex commodity. Second, by refusing the right to anyone over her body; by refusing to bear children unless she wants them; by refusing to become a servant to God, the State, society, the husband, the family, etc. ... by freeing herself from the fear of public opinion and public condemnation. Only that, and not the ballot, will set woman free, will make her a force hitherto unknown in the world, a force for real love, for peace, for harmony; a force of divine fire, of life-giving; a creator of free men and women."

    I'm still shooting for a job/career in international travel. I was thinking of maybe being a photographer, independent, and traveling around the world for different magazines like Nat Geo and the like, seeing different places I haven't seen before.

    Meet someone.

    adopt 1-2 kids.

    Move to Canada

    Amazing how simple they get. When I was a kid, I was gonna be an astronaut. Or a multi-millionaire hockey or soccer player.

    I suppose my long-term dream is actually following through with one of my various ideas for writing a novel.

    I wanna be the very best.
    Like no one ever was.

    But really, as a long term goal, I just want to actually finish most of these countless projects that I am so good at starting, but no good at completing.

    I aspire to see and experience as much as this world has to offer. I want to have been everywhere, seen everything, done everything. I want to unravel all the world's little secrets.

    I've always kind of fantasized about making a film, of being a director. Either a thriller or a documentary.

    But I'm not talented, so.

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

    Yeah, this, as far as the category "absolutely unattainable dreams" is concerned.

    Short term goals: to successfully participate in the rank and file union and students' action against new legislation on higher education and science (commodification, possible privatization of entire departments and colleges, a new system of fees); to finally graduate from college; to attain at least decent organizational skills concerning my fullfilment of day to day tasks

    Mid term goals: try to find a job

    Long term goals: bring capitalism down as part of an organized workers' movement

    Dreams: to write fiction, travel and perform other useful labour when and where needed while not being bothered by consequences of capitalist exploitation and opression (clearly, this ties in with long term goals ).

    Then just focus on Exploitation films.

    That's too overrated today, and won't work.

    Short term

    -Have my band become a frequently playing band in the local punk scene

    -Have much shenanigans occur over summer break

    Long Term

    -Get a wife (assuming she's into the whole marriage thing because frankly I don't give a shit either way but most people are)

    -Find a way to someday visit my host from when I was an exchange student in Russia

    that's my goals. they are wildly interesting.

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

    I wish I were joking about that.

    What Nic said. Fuck talent. Natural talent just makes you better than most other novices. What it comes down to is working towards it.

    I want to be a teacher. English and/or Social Studies. I've managed to fuck this up royally already, however, by managing to fail my intro to teaching class twice in two semesters.

    But I'll keep trying. I'm going to sign up for the class either next semester, or the semester after that.
