All I long for, all I have longed for for years is to retire (prior to wanting to retire, my ambition was to play). Given a chance not to work, I would take it. However, this is not because of laziness or some inherent trait of sloth. Rather it is because I want to pursue my own interests and ideas; I want to do my own thing. One of the saddest things I find in talking with people about not working (aside from obvious disapproval) is that they like working, they would get bored not working, after all, there is only so much TV one can watch. Hmmm ... a pretty sad comment I think. I have a mind full of ideas. There are lots of things which grab my interest, which distract me as I journey through life. Finding what I want to do is hard., because every week I can have a new thing I want to pursue. Some might argue that I am not disciplined. Definitely, I am a poor finisher - great starter, but lousy finisher. I believe I have found what my ideal job would be: owning and running an incubato

breal: Oscar Wilde (along with G.B. Shaw) gave us many wonderful lines. The last time I came across something modern worthy of Oscar Wilde was a little over a year ago.

inside out thank you for dropping by. It is true that far too often, we do not take the time to get to know a person, but rather prefer to categorize them. When we start making quick decisions, then I think it is time to step back, relax, take a deep breath, and calm down.
cavalock: yep.
Here's another one of his quotes that I love:
"Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance." -Oscar Wilde, writer (1854-1900)
just like what i quoted from desperate housewives 2nd season
tena: I don't know, depends if he will treat my furniture well.
ancilla: no one is perfect. What I think is more important is how hard you try than how well you succeed.
