I’m surprised I didn’t get any comments on my last post.
Let me reiterate: I’ve been really depressed lately. The thought that I had this morning is this: I’m gonna be 20 this year. I’m no longer a child. Everything I do now determines my future. I can either be “your average white, suburbanite slob” with an average car, job, wife, house and kids, OR I can shoot for the moon and do what I always wanted to do. That doesn’t mean that what I want to happen will happen over night. What it does mean is that I put myself full force behind my dreams and do my damnedest to make them come true. The choice is up to me.
You only live once. It’s not about the money you make. It’s not about the fame or the prestige. It’s about what you do. The little things. Do you enjoy life? I mean, come on people. I live in the best country in the world. I live in a place where if I don’t like my employment situation, I can go out and create my own job, even if by false demand. This is the place where you dreams can come true. Most people don’t follow their dreams because of self-imposed limitations. “I can’t do this, I won’t ever do that.” Rubbish! You’ve got to breath life to your dreams.
I’ve got this crazy idea. Actually, I’ve had it for quite a while (going on seven years now). I want to take the blueprints of the Titanic and rebuild the ship and then set it sail on the exact course 100 years to date. There isn’t much time left, but I think I know how to make it happen, although that is easier said then done.
Well, I’m off to find the breath of life.

Phooey! How am I supposed to rewrite my comment?! I’ve slept since then. Inspiration only comes once, my good man. You’re out of luck.
I shall contemplate a contemptable response to your comment.
You do that.
I think I said something to the effect of I missed the last post when you posted it, which is why I didn’t comment. Or maybe I said it’d be awesome if you built that ship. Do I get a free ride, since I’m your friend and all? Or maybe….
we shall see what we shall see
You think I’m crazy proposing rebuilding the Titanic, don’t you?
Hey I watched this movie recently too. I don’t normally like DiCaprio, but I do like his preformance as Jack
Crazy? Crazy is in the eye of the beholder. All great thinkers were thought crazy by someone.
The point…no. I don’t think so. Pursue your dreams…you never know what will happen.
I love the music myself. That’s why I bought both discs and listen to it every day. Great stuff.
Yeah I don’t particularly care for DiCaprio. I really liked him in Catch Me if you Can. Aviator was right up his alley. Jack kinda bugs me, but at the same time I thought it was ok. Kinda like wine, the older, the better. Oh well.
Dreams. Yeah. Pursing your dreams no matter the danger to life, limb, or personal property. I don’t list friends or loved ones in there because right now it’s my play and everyone is on the sidelines. It does suck, however, to know that if they follow you and you go down that they will go down with you. Oh well.
