My wife, my family, creating life one day(with my wife) and creating life every year(my flower and veggie/fruit garden)

Exploring this beautiful place we call earth, enjoying the advance of technology and last but not least, helping people/saving lives as a nurse.

Right now, not a whole lot. I work a dead end job for very meagre pay, and despite a good education, I can't seem to find an escape.

There are two things that keep me going. There's still hope for my future. I also met a very sweet girl a few years back who has always supported me.

Experiences. I want to feel it all, experience it all, know, learn, cultivate myself... (I don't mean it in wrong ways such as trying drugs and stuff like that, but going to places, doing different sports, trying new things, walking, hiking, backpacking - whenever i think about nature and animals I just, love it so much and I become so thankful for it all... )

The fact that I even have life is what makes it worth living. Richard Dawkins sums it up pretty well:

Richard Dawkins said:
We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.

Family, friends, sex, beer, food, music, entertainment, and hope for the future. Truth be told my life is kind of bland at the moment. I don't do too much interesting, and my job is pretty boring. But I will continue to do the things I enjoy in my free time, and make the best of it. Hopefully one day I will be able to travel, and enjoy the finer things in life with my SO.
