What I Wanted as a Kid

It's been a good 10 years since I've thought about what I really wanted growing up. Somewhere in between studying for school, losing my virginity, and smoking weed, I forgot about the goals I made for myself. Now that I'm 22 and approaching 23 in less than 5 months.. it's time to remember what I need to work towards. Hopefully my childhood dreams can still be applied to the present.

1. Getting a fireplace so I can roast marshmallows and help Santa break into my place easier.
2. Owning a kaleidoscope. I always wanted one as a kid, but my parents got me a book on Vietnamese verbs instead.
3. A business venture into the restaurant or jewelry industry. Wtf was I thinking? I'll pass on this one.
4. Playing the guitar or ukelele while sitting on my hammock and eating spam musubi.
5. Collecting enough UPC codes from cereal boxes so I can send them in exchange for a really cool spoon that changes colors in milk. You guys know what I'm talking about....
5. Defying all scientific logic and learning how to fly without the aid of planes /jets / hangliders/ God
6. Own a golden retriever named Shadow, a Himalayan cat named Sassy, and an American bulldog named Chance (It's a "homeward bound" the movie reference)

Yeah, that's all I got so far.. I'm sure I have many more life goals.. but for now this will do. I think I can get at least half of the list accomplished by 23.
