Fey
From hence the
pixies tell tails of that which they dream upon. The hold on the
tattered thread fades with time, but the butterflies know still the
path to scry. Fey lie yet among the quiet
meadow. Were we rude to the mighty soles bound by such faint mortal
coils? Alas, we are left, alone, in a world no longer known to
dragons.
Five year plan (me being
paranoid again)
I was asked recently
where I want to be in five years. The last time I answered
that question I was in collage. I didn't
answer it right then either. I don't know where I want to be in five
minutes. People who seem to know what is going on want me to
constantly make plans five years in the future. It just doesn't make
any sense to me. If I make plans, fate will
make sure to fuck them up. Planning doesn't work for me. I need to
make plans, I know. Making plans pleases others. I take no
satisfaction in the plans. I know they mean little. Other's always
want to make plans for me. I need to get over it. I want to be part
of Tpro's
plan.
Where do I want to be in five years?
I want to be
free.
I want enough money to make money be a non-factor in my
decisions.
I want enough future that my kids will be able
to purchase a wing at their university of choice.
Where do I not
want to be? Where I am now. If I'm still at the same company I'll be
very disappointed. I want to be far beyond
where I am now. I need to advance. I cannot allow myself to
stagnate.
And, then, there is education. Every time I think I am
ahead of my anger, it sneaks back up on me. I wanted to put off
school until I get a handle on it. I think now that it is part of me.
A part that I must accept and learn to predict and manipulate.
Terminator
I want a
Terminator. I'm not sure which model I
should get. I'm sure my credit will cover it. The
second movie introduced a new model made of this
malleable mettle that can take the shape of others (or me). I
could send the Terminator to work to take meetings and give me the
synopsis. This might come in handy. The third
Terminator had this same ability, but lacked the true
fall-through-a-grating functionality. The third Terminator was big on
weapons and blowing shit up, but my current life just doesn't need
that. The first Terminator has it's points too. It is like an old
pickup truck that won't die.
Terminator 1 scenario.
“Fly
me to work.” I'd say.
“We need a helicopter.”
the Terminator says.
“Find me a helicopter.” I
demand.
“By your command.” answers the Terminator.
Hey, isn't that a Silon's line I think to myself. Ah, well.
“Go
get me lunch.” I'd say.
“Yes sir.” says the
Terminator, and off he'd buzz in my brand new helicopter.
Later
I'd ask him to take a meeting along side me and just sit there
looking tough so no one would assign me any tasks. You never know
when I'll have the Terminator drop off the report. =]
Terminator 2 scenario.
I'd
say “Look like me and sound like me and go to work and do what
they tell you and bring me the money.”
“Yes sir”
the Terminator says with a smile. Oh, did I mention when the
Terminator is home I'd have it look like J. Lo.
Terminator 3 scenario.
“Blow
that up.” - KABOOOOM!! - “t-hehehehe!”
(me giggling)
“Blow that up.” - KABOOOOM!! -
“t-hehehehe!” (me giggling
again)
You get the idea.
