What's your goal in life?

I just thought I would open this up... I am really scattered brained right now and was thinking about it while biking for 2 hours. It seems like my lifestyle and career choice is conflicting. I would love to live off the land in some remote island away from civilization yet I want to work in the computer industry. Another side of me loves being downtown and amongst the hive. I love to be alone and can spend days away from human contact yet I also desire that one woman who is perfect in every way (to me) to be with forever. I would love to traverse the world and be nestled in my spot of the world at the same time. What do I want in life? It seems like I want everything and it's driving me crazy! I want to be the best musican, golfer, programmer, biker, body-builder I can be. I want to know everything there is to know about history, biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, philosphy. Why can't the days be 100 hours long. It's hard wanting to be friends with the world but wanting to be alone at the same time.

Thanks for reading... It felt good to send out my thoughts like this. Sorry if it's difficult to read, I just wrote it as I thought it.

You can't always get what ya want. Nothing ever turns out exactly how you envision it. Everyone has conflicting issues such as yourself, but you do have to be realistic in that you can't get the 'ultimate man' you want to be. I don't know what i want in life; other than a hot wife and kids and a nice house- but i think i could be happy with a lot of different kinds of lives- For example, I think i could be happy as a multimillionaire, but i could also be happy living off a 45000 dollar teachers salary. Which do I want? I don't really know. My goal in life is to save the world but that's not really realistic is it? Life is painfully short, huh? sucks, huh? Well, maybe there is an afterlife? or reincarnation?

I was expecting something a little more serious and intellectual, but I guess the OT crowd has drifted to the other side of the fence :(

Forget that I asked...

Holy fvck dude! Have you been inside my head recently????:Q

I've always wanted to know EVERYTHING there is to know......AND I like being around people yet, but on my own too...sh!t...


Of course.......when things get bad (tests, exams, reading about wars, polution etc) I just want to go to Middle Earth and never return.....never look upon this sad, pathetic world again....

"Live life to the fullest"

Yep, pretty much sums it up there. Except I would expand on it a little.

My goal in life is to find true love if it exists (I have my doubts), and to come as close as possible to my full potential as a person. Long, long way to go :(

What exactly does "Live life to the fullest" or "Live a good life" mean? These are all phrases that have different interpretations. For some people a good life is Hugh Hefner, to be the scientist that finds the cure for cancer, or to live in isolation and be one with nature.

Had the two girls :)

I try and set myself goals I know I can reach, so my next goal is to die. I know I'll meet that goal eventually! :)
