I have many years worth of endeavors which I intend to enact. And I am not sure in what order to accomplish them. And some of them even annul the possibility So here is general list of my ideas and goals. And their order means relatively nothing.

 

I want to get a masters or PHD in history. But I am not sure in which section; I enjoy most all of it.

 

I want to attend a German University, studying German, and perhaps history there.

 

I want to live in Argentina and learn Castellano.

 

I want to spend time in Eastern Europe.

 

I want to live in Jerusalem and learn both modern and ancient Hebrew. And probably at least a smattering of Arabic.

 

I want to go to L'abri.

 

I will become a Registered Nurse, and am considering another four years on top of those two to become a Nurse Practitioner.

 

I will be fishing in Alaska this Summer, and hope to find a job there to finish out the summer.

 

I want to find a piece of property on a tributary that has cattails growing on it, and in which I can lay out trout lines. And have goats and chickens and lots of guns and children. Only not right now.

 

I want to study the bible in depth. I don't think I will ever get the chance.

 

I want to live outside of civilization for several months.

 

I want to be a part of a community where people know me and accept who I am.

 

I want to experience life. This life, this existence. I would rather feel pain than nothing at all. Sometimes I want to loose everything and everyone I have. Sometimes I think tragedy and pain are the most real things. And I wish to revel in reality. If we are just a passing thought in the mind of an infinite being, at least our pain at perceived betrayal would be real. But not really.

 

I want to travel for the rest of my life, with nothing but my pack on my back, and a list of friends throughout the world, and an encyclopedia of my life and experiences.

 

I want to head up a resistance group.

 

I don't want to die from a rooftile.

Oh, I've forgotten ... who was it that died from a roof tile? I just remembered. Wasn't it the guy in Ben Hur, but maybe that's based on a real historical figure whom I've forgotten.

There was the guy in Ben Hur, but as it was not an uncommon experience, Kirkegaard also said something about such happenings. And I think he meant that it was a death of no glory, a man might think that he will do great and good things in his life, or at the very least die a good and meaningful death and so deserve eternal life. But how a rooftile falling is literally out of the blue, and unexpected and meaningless. And I don't want to die such a death, regardless of how highly K thinks of it.
