What would you like to do with your life?

So is this thread about things you'd LIKE to do or things you wish you were CAPABLE of doing?

For example - I'd like to write a cantata but I certainly cannot.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As a young child, I wanted to be a writer because writers were rich and famous. They lounged around Singapore and Rangoon smoking opium in a yellow pongee silk suit. They sniffed cocaine in Mayfair and they penetrated forbidden swamps with a faithful native boy and lived in the native quarter of Tangier smoking hashish and languidly caressing their pet gazelle.

Now I write crap on the internet, wasting my time and limited abilities in an attempt to communicate with idiots like Buckwalt, who fifty years ago would be making a buck fifty an hour picking lint out of sock machines or would at best be forgotten after being brought up in an orphanage and dying in the service when some random asian soldier heaved the blade of a shovel into the side of their skull.

Whatever it is I want to do - it has to be in direct opposition to what I'm doing now, today.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Calvin screams that he'd wish for a billion dollars and his own car and all these materialistic things. The last shot is Hobbes eating a tunafish sandwich, him replying "I can get my wish".

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
