I think I have very few personal goals in life. I have never thought of the reality of my own future. But when it’s staring you in the face, I have to wonder what have I done to get ready? Once my girlfriend accused me of having no ambition. I think that she is right. I was in the Army a very long time, and I still think that I will be taken care of by the VA. But this is not true. That’s where I have anted up the pot at my stake in the future. I started school at Western Technical Institute quite a while ago. Now that I have finished there, I started at the University of Phoenix. My desire and hopes are for a Bachelor’s degree. I don’t think is too difficult to attain, even though I am in my mid 30s. My mom did it when I was still living at home; she got her Master’s and went on to a very good career. Besides finishing my education, I have other small goals I see on the horizon. One of which is getting married, yes again (a groan ensues from my sub-conscious). I have been with he

I don’t like sales, so that is out of the question. I will not teach anything (no patience there). And I don’t want to sit at a desk, in an office (with no windows) all day long. I like to get up early in the morning, I like to drink coffee, and I like to be by myself at that time. When the day is getting started I like to be there as it warms up. Then it’s off to work. I wouldn’t mind owning my own business. I think I would be a great boss. I’d hire all my friends. But how would I pay them? Ok, next goal. I want to build my own house. I have planned this since I could pick up a pencil and draw. It’s going to be a very “personalized” home. But it will be mine. As well, I wouldn’t mind racing again. But the ultimate goal for me would be to race (a Buell motorcycle) at the Isle of Mann TT. I
