I want more life!

More time to write, more affection, more hours in the day, more time to read, more intelligent conversation (only one person at my work can maintain intelligent commentary on whatever topic we hit upon).

I have to sleep less, work faster, type faster, think clearer... and find a way past my present location's complete FTP-ban (and ftp proxy ban) in order to upload texts.

I have to make a greater name, make a bigger difference, teach more people, be harder, overcome my own weaknesses and failures, and get more out of everything I do.

Because, like, I've lived a third of my life, and I haven't done a third of what I wanted to have done.

Email the files to someone you trust who will FTP them for you. (Yes, I am willing to do this if you ask.)

I have lived a third of my life and haven't done a third of what I wanted to achieve. Instead I have done far more than many people could even dream of doing.

I could make some profound comment about not living the life we wish but the one we deserve, except that would be simultaneously far more profound and more shallow than I am capable of being on several glasses of wine and synthetic opiates, so I will stick to practicalities instead.

Glad to see you online again.

You seem like a long-lost friend...

Hiya :-)

I don't know if anyone gets what they deserve (either positively or negatively), we merely have to cope with consequences deserved or undeserved, and events that are willed or unwilled, and hope that our actions are worthy of our short existence.

I want more life, too. Your post is an inspiration. And I fully agree with:

...we merely have to cope with consequences deserved or undeserved, and events that are willed or unwilled, and hope that our actions are worthy of our short existence.

That's the wierd thing. I've lived a third of my life as well, but I've managed to at least get something. A lovely home. The price was seriously high but yeah.

At least that's something. Still need to get out more though.

Dude, your current situation obviously doesn't really allow for all that. Adjust, my dear, adjust!

And why are you pushing yourself so hard? RELAX once in a while. ;) Don't try to sleep less; you'll be less clear-headed and productive.

Why do you have to do all that ASAP? You have time enough. Stop stressing yourself out trying to get it all done yesterday. You're young. Some things just don't come together 'til a little later in life anyway! Besides, you might change your mind about certain goals. It happens.

With the right attitude, life itself is life enough. ;)

Take care, V. :)

I'll sleep when I'm dead! And I relax only when in the company of a beautiful woman :-) Or when listening to music and reading/writing. Or a little while sunbathing.

Logically everything you say makes sense. Emotionally I just have trouble believing in something that is to easy to understand.
