Ok, I'm not really sure what there's left to say about me that I won't be asked to cover in the following sections -- 'cept I'm NOT gay. So, I suppose I'll just share with you some of my life goals that I truly do wish to achieve someday and I guess the progress I('ve) made/am making toward their accomplishment. In no particular order:

1) Work for/with NASA.
-I guess this one and #6 are pretty well related. I've always been very interested in mathematics and science. I'm not quite sure about any progress here yet, but as I achieve my other goals, I'll get myself closer to reaching this one.

2) Own a world record.
-Probably my best shot here is Dr. Mario. I really do think you'll be quite amazed by my talent. I've entertained multiple parties for significant lengths of time just playing single player. I just learned of a competitive circuit; so here in the near future, I'll know how good a I really am :)

3) Become the U.S. President.
-This is another one that's far off, but I've got to be 10 years older to qualify for consideration anyway. But, if I get involved in local politics (where I might currently stand a chance) and after I achieve a few of my other goals -- any of them, really -- I don't see this being impossible.

4) Publish a book.
-This is more than likely going to be a poetry book. I've published already 3 poems (all of which I maintain copyright); and, I've a few more poems set aside that are worthy of publication. I really only need 30 or so poems before this becomes a possibility. So, this is one of the first few of my significant life goals that I'll get to scratch off with accomplishment :)

5) Record a song.
-This doesn't seem to be too far off either, really. I can't sing and I can't play any popular instruments with any great talent (I can play a pretty mean recorder), but I can write some fine rhymes. So, I'll probably just sell a poem to a group someday and you can all hear my lyrics on the radio.

6) Own a patent.
-(Refer to #1.) Don't know where this is coming either. I've a few decent jimmy-rigs and a lot of ideas, but I'll focus on this one more intently sometime in the future.

7) Earn $1mil/yr in passive income at retirement.
-I don't care how long this is going to take me, but I promise it's going to happen. The company I'm building a business with pays more $1mil/yr earners than any other company in the world. A $10mil account will pay (roughly) $1mil/yr in interest earned. So, I've the rest of my life to accrue $10mil extra/unspent -- and all I've got to do is talk to people :)

8) Participate in the Olympics (as an "athlete").
-My best chance for this was probably when I was younger; wrestling and tae-kwon-do. However, I'm not counting myself out. I've a lot of time to develop a knack for something. I learn new things all the time. All it's gonna take is interest, practice and discipline. Still, not currently top priority.

9) Own an island.
-This is one of my favorite goals. But bein' a multi-millionaire (as I will be), I don't see this one bein' too difficult to achieve.

10) Learn a second language.
-Another one that's probably up toward the front of the list as far as chronological achievement. Possibilities: American Sign Language, Spanish, Hebrew or Korean. (Or even to read Old Egyptian Hieroglyphics.) Hopefully, I'll learn them all before I die.

Wow, that was much longer than I thought it was gonna be; I just typed that all off the top of my head. What can I say, I'm an eager/ambitious guy :) I'll probably get my pilot's license sometime along the way and eventually I'ma own a DeLorean. Anyhoo, wish me luck, folks. So now you know what I'll be striving for over the long-term; for what are you reaching?
