So much. I want a job that challenges me to think. To live in a place I love (I’m looking at you Monterey Bay). To always be good. Not to have to worry. Time. More Sunday mornings with coffee, Alicia and the Iz.
Oh…and a clusterflock cycling jersey (will someone design one for me already?).
I want a new Expedit workstation desk, and a 1970′s green Ludwig Vistalite drum kit, a house by the shore, a badtz maru bronco bass, and more free time to pursue my interests.
You know, while we’re on about specifics, I should mention that I’d like to make a few replacements: a cello teacher with a visa to work here, a music library that doesn’t disappear*, and a pot large enough to hold a carcass.
I want to want something like I once did. Is that some bleak shit or what? Call me Beckett and promise to give me one of those yellow jump suits.
What I really want is that mythical meadow of free time just around the bend. That release from all obligation and worry. Wait a minute–now that I put it that way I’m not sure I want it right away.
flight school, a plane, and enough money not to worry about operating it.
to sail down the South American coast from California.
to visit iceland, maybe to live there for a while.
to marry someone I respect and love tremendously and raise Good and thoughtful children.
to finish my phd by 28.
love
yes.
A true sense of accomplishment.
Oh, Hell’s bells, you weinerz!
I want a Furby and some tailored shirts. And a plush Squidward.
And some of those ties and hankies from the Hill-Side.
in that case, Aaron, I want socks, long underwear, and a sense of urgency.

What do you have and how did you get inside my house?

* Should I invest in records again?
A snow-free commute, and a day to lie in bed and read. And to always be surrounded by people who make me laugh.
an end to human stupidity.
all the zeiss lenses.

You.
Okay, here’s my real real answer, which has been the same since I was a little kid:
To always have something to look forward to.
More cowbell. Other than that I agree with Jonathan.

A pair of winter boots I can simply pull on and off. I love my mukluks, but this is already growing tiresome.
A big bag of cash!
I have fantasised for many years about finding one – I know I will and when I do I will be sure to tell you.
Deron, you don’t need all the Zeiss lenses, how about we share them?
a goat.
A good surprise.
