and i thought i want to do a lot of things in life, it took me two days to fill this lot. well i can do some of the things tomorrow, some of them before the year ends, but some of them i might only be able to do after 50 or i might not at all. it doesn't matter. i just want a well lived life. setting goals and dreaming about it help put things in perspective.
