Whatever you want


ok...I'm looking at my list of topics. I realize that these are the topics that I focus on.

I have made 1 entry to weight loss. I need to make more. In 2009, I will focus on topics that I want to improve on.

1) Fatherhood
2) Husbandhood
3) Figuring out a way to make $75 million
4) Winning the lottery
5) Losing weight

These are my topics. This is what I need to focus on. Any other topics are not moving me towards my goal. What is my goal?

My goal is to have $75 million in my Fidelity account so that I may quit my job and spend all my time with my son and my wife.

Total financial freedom. Freedom from worry. Freedom to love. Freedom to take care of myself. Freedom to follow my dreams and aspirations.

My father for years used to say, what would I do if I retired? My eyes would go wide. What would you do? Dad, whatever you want. He couldn't think of anything. I can't stop thinking of things. The thoughts weave themselves like browsing the internet. I would go to Italy. In Italy, I would learn to speak and write Italian. Once I did this, I would learn to cook Italian. I would go to Spain to learn to cook and play the flamenco guitar. I could go on all night.

Please God. Bestow upon me financial wealth. I promise that I will use it to experience all that the human condition has to offer. Wealth will not be wasted on me. I will not own 40 cars and 7 houses. I will be able to tell people how to build an igloo. What it felt like to sail the Atlantic. What it feels like to go to a Presidential inaugaration. What it is like to drive a car across Canada and Russia. What it is like to ride a camel across the Australian Outback. How to write an award winning short story. How String theory works.

What to do? What to do? Whatever you want.
