My own little world, huh?
(Ye all be warned, what comes next may border on melodramatic/sappy . . . just a hunch as to where this might go . . .)

This question was brought up to me the other day. I stopped to think about it, and I think it's actually kinda interesting since it's not really something I've ever really thought about before. It's funny, a couple weeks back my mother scolded me, trying to tell me that I live in a real world and not my own little one . . . I guess I've always taken pride in my belief that I have and will be able carve a nice little niche out of the current world we have, and I've been pretty happy with that. I suppose that's ideal enough for me, but let's imagine for a moment, shall we? I think yes . . . . .

First of all, I wouldn't change a whole lot to what we already have. I mean, we have crime, violence, wars, and all of that. But all that sort of stuff, I'd rather see it end on our own terms, and not wished away like magic . . . we're not gonna learn any other way, after all. Plus, let's face it - you know it, and I know it - I have one of the world's largest hero-complexes. Yeah, you know the guy who daydreams that he can be the one who tackles a distracted person out of the way of an incoming car, or fights off an unknown mugger on the street? That's me. Very much. And if I'm gonna live up my fantasy, I'm gonna need some sorts of bad guys, right? Plus, I'd hate for my brother to have nothing to do at work and all . . . . . hehe . . .

As for my professional life, well . . . for one thing, the university wouldn't have had me pegged as a third-year in my upcoming FOURTH year of schooling. Then I could have had a decent registration date like I should have had and could have had a nicer schedule with more courses pertaining to my major . . . now, I'd probably still suck at school, but I'd be a little more relaxed about it. Or, maybe I'd be less relaxed and would actually get to working on things? Hmm . . .

As for my current work, I think I don't really mind it. It's tough, and sometimes days get really brutal, either from running out of time to do my own work or stupid people asking stupid things . . . I dunno, sometimes the pain is worth it when you get a really good customer, sometimes. What I'd like to have different, though, is who I'd get to come home to after work.
Hey, brothers and parents are cool, but ya know . . . we all know what it's like to have a rough day at work and wish that you could come home to someone whose arms or lap you could fall into, who could remind you that it's all over for now, and who could just make being home feel all the more better . . . heh, this last little bit paints a picture of my current personal life rather well, doesn't it?

I guess I'll just finish off with this . . . my own little world would be just that: little! None of this separation-by-three-timezones crud that we've all been putting up with this year any more! Actually, wait . . . I've got a better idea! As I recall, some of us were planning on buying a ranch in the middle of Saskatchewan, right? Yeah, let's screw the timezones and get that lease - then, things will be good. We'll be living out by ourselves far enough away from the big cities (but not too far), living a relaxed, simple life. All the while, all those adopted children of ours would be around the side of the house, practicing all that personal stuff of theirs (shuriken practice, right?).

Along with this simple living, I'd still have plenty of time to sit down to work on my writing. By this point, I'd have written at least one book about something that, while not being a best-seller per se, was accepted by the many as something nice to read. While not writing, I'd be more than happy to put my arms to work and build extra wings to the ranch if we saw fit to gain new housemates, and I'm sure the animals definitely wouldn't mind. In any case, the important part of this image remains: we'd all be together, and not separated by phone lines and broadbands.

So yeah, I don't think big. What can I say? I'm asian, we usually don't grow very tall.
