juno is awesome. but i dont need to tell you that. i wish i could be more like her. you know. funny. strong. passionate.
but instead i sit here, cowardly typing nonsense on my ergonomically correct keyboard. lazily completing unimpressive spreadsheets and hastily repeating the fold and stuff motion of filing.
this is my job. my life. not that i spend every waking hour here. hardly. but i seem to spend every waking minute preparing to eventually be here. in tip-top shape. prestine condition. the best-of-the-best.
and why? so that one day there may be hope that i wont focus every waking moment on preparing for the future. so that one day, likely old and frail, i'll have the time and resources to do everything i've ever wished to...but wont have the physical ability to do so.
and so, in my tribute to john, i shall create my own bucket list. the things i'll do before i am no longer able to. and this list will be achievable. because being true to my capricorn roots: i dont set goals i cant reach.
in no particular order, i will now proceed to make yet another list of things i will prepare for:
1. climb to the top of the eiffel tower.
2. go to the louve. (please pardon spelling errors.)
3. live in london for a few months.
4. live in NYC for a few months.
5. Kiss a foriegn boy. (and enjoy it.)
6. see the pyramids. (and take one of those pictures where it looks like i am squishing it between my fingers.
7. design my own home. (or at least a tree house or something.)
8. write something important.
9. do something unheard of.
10. punch someone in the face. (how rad does that sound?)
tis all for now my friend. must return to ass-kicking work. will continue in supplemental expressions of thy inner thoughts.

I agree with this completely.
1.) It's spelled the loure. I figured that a good step in visiting it is if you first know how it's spelled.
also, what does "ergonomically" mean? It makes you sound smart and sophisticated, like a good blogger should.
And I completely know what you mean about always worrying about the future. Afterall, My therapist (all good bloggers should have a therapist, it makes them seem moody) told me that I have "future anxiety". You may, too. It's probably why we get along.
I have to wonder why it is that the only things you want to do involves traveling. Don't get me wrong, it's still a cool list.
I'm actually sincere about wanting to travel to Europe this summer... is there any way you'd come with me?
PS - Number 5 is my favorite.
and This blog is important to me, so you've somewhat already completed number 8. Not to mention the newspaper you were editor of...
ergonomically correct is something make in a shape that is healthy for your body. have you seen those funky wave looking keyboards where the keys are split in the middle? that is what i was using.
half my list equals travel because i think that in order to have the fullest life i need to have all sorts of experiences. and the more i sit at home, the more nieve i will be.
i wish i had a therapist to make my blog seem moody and mysterious and chic. but i dont. i used to. but i think that fact that i cant open up to anymore means i definitely cant open up to a stranger. maybe it is a trust issue.
I HAVE ISSUES!
well as long as you have issues, your blog can be just as moody and mysterious as mine.
