Thought of the day:
31/01/2012
Hopes & dreams what are they and how do some mange to make them reality while others become ash gray men on the 40x30x30 plan?
What are my goals and ambitions you ask well here are two sets the first is the more realistic the second set is what I would do if I were indecently wealthy to the point I could do what my firs boss told me was every body's dream: “to hop up on the bosses desk take a shit and walk out.”
Realistic:
Buy a few more rentals and pay them off and then buy a lager plot of land out some where so that I can have a secluded work shop of my own (this borders on the realm of unrealistic). Possibly a family some day but I am to apathetic and obvious to seriously think about that. It would take a women garbing me and dragging me in the bushes before I'd realize she is interested nut I digress.
Unrealistic:
Buy a ridge top piece of land to build a castle on. The great hall would be 60x150 with a cross floor plan. One wing would be the kitchen and the other would be used for the entertainment. The construction would be Grant walls glulam hardwood arches. The front entry way would take it's inspiration form the UT state capital building. On each side of the great hall would be gust quarters which go out and surround a square court yard in the form of an inverted zigerat. This court yard would double as a green house and hanging garden. Side note Gardening has all ways been one of my favorite pass times I think this is because it is devoid of human interaction and the plants cant give you shit.
This place would be a booth a home as well as a venue to be rented out for weddings and other events...
Activities :
Put a kayak in at Zanesvill OH and paddle down to the Big Easy - New Orleans (about 80 days).
Go touring the U.S. For and extended period of time - My preferred stile is to go to a town and just wander around seeing what their is to see and going checking out spots the locals say are cool. I once spent a few days wandering around Burlington Vermont in the dead of winter...
Buy a few condos out west so I can live out their and ski all winter...
It seems the under lying factor in all of what we want to do is the all mighty green back. Some leverage them selves to the hilt to "achieve" their dreams but do they relay? Or is is just a fasade on a house of cards with no real foundation ready to come crashing down at any moment?
More to come....
