The Rest of your Life

smiles · 29-03-2002 6:33pm #1

So what do people want to do?
What do they want to be? (realistically and ideally)
Where do you picture yourself in 10 years time?
Where do you want to do to college/university or what else would you like to do?

I want to go to Maynooth, to study Economics and Finance (changing my CAO actually! :P ) and I want to eventually end up working on some kind of money market / stock market and advicing and predicting things for businesses. And then some day with lots and lots of experience i'd love to be a proper Economist.... and advise governments and stuff. Silly, idealistic and a little bit odd.... but for anyone who was ever in my class and saw me getting into company analysis and stuff like that then they should know that's what i'm serious about (only realised the company/stock market thing the other day!!), and I just am all kinda looking forward to it... somebody wish me luck?

So what are *your* dreams?

qwidgybo · 29-03-2002 9:15pm

i would like to study communications and become a tv producer.i'd like to keep on dancing and playing music forever(until my arms and legs give up).ooh-and drawing and stuff.

Crash · 29-03-2002 10:17pm

The only thing i set for my life is that i want to attempt to work freelance. i don't want to get stuck in a 9 -5 because i don't want to end up working all day long, as i keep weird hours anyway. i want to still being playing the guitar, and listening to lots of music. and possibly doing something like architecture while doing stuff with pc's on the side. and have a small house in somewhere isolated.

Asuka · 29-03-2002 11:50pm

Hmmm... designing computer games, and probably living in Japan (hopefully).

Focalbhach · 30-03-2002 1:15am

Emmm.....Uphamizer.....wtf?!

Anyway - well, realistically I have no idea what I want to do or what I'll end up doing - I kind of want a bit of everything, if you know what I mean. Ideally, I'd love to end up doing something in either music or sport - in a band,playing onstage,being involved in the creation and execution of new music; or getting to play a game that you love in front of thousands of people, and hopefully even get to represent your country- what could be better than that?!

It's not like I'm picky either - choose one from football, basketball, rugby, Gaelic or swimming!

The flip side of that is that I'd hate to be a record label guy, or one of the "business people" in boardrooms/administration - I'm only interested in the creative/fun/actually being involved!! side of playing.

*sigh* It could happen....really....

Mahotée · 30-03-2002 1:23am

i want to fix everything, make everyone i care about happy, then go live myself to death.

i'd like to:

travel a lot.
grow a wonderful garden.
read a lot.
see a lot of movies.
act in a lot of movies.
not be afraid of what might be where i cant see it.
name some children, but not have any.
experience absolutely everything.

and while im at it, learn to fly and breathe underwater too.

why not? i can hope, and it might all be possible someday.

i dont have to think about the CAO thing yet, but good luck to you, fio. (im infiltrating! teeheehee.) and anyone else who feels they need luck.

lordsippa · 30-03-2002 1:41am

i want to be special. a singer, a writer - anything creative. and if i can't have that i'll go on a destructive binge till i die.

and that's that.

alaskagirl · 30-03-2002 8:58am

Your mother.
bend over and I'll show you.
Thats not what you said last night.

my friend is feeding me lines. My mother is complaining. its dark here. its so dark i look hot. it must be dark. Very dark. Nuclear winter dark. we are making pound cake. my brother jumped. it fell.

imp · 30-03-2002 2:31pm

Like Sven I would also like to be special. probably by singing in a bandymajig. But if not I'll be doing Computer Science. And probably Philosophy later on in life. And either way I WANT TO GO SKYDIVING!!! Stupid paranoid parents won't let me...

But I'm also into stuff like Film Production (currently producing two, count 'em TWO movies!!) and Space!! Maye the last one's a bit far fetched...

hmmm... what else? I'd like to find love and probably eventually have kiddies.

Probably more, I shall write again...

SOL · 30-03-2002 6:03pm

Man U babe · 31-03-2002 2:12pm

Alls I know is that I want to spend my next 4 years in UCD doing mathematical science, getting drunk etc, etc, etc. I want to take up another martial art and get another black belt, travel the world and see all the amazing places. I want to see Man U at Old Trafford, Celtic at Celtic Park and Ireland winning the world cup.

Cait · 31-03-2002 10:51pm

i want to be happy.
and eventually be married and have children and things. but i'm not really worried if that happens or not

Crash · 01-04-2002 4:45pm

i forgot some things:

i want to find a quiet place to live where every evening i can watch the sunset and every night sit outside in the darkness and watch the night....

and i want to be a daddy

imp · 01-04-2002 4:49pm

Oooh that reminds me. Once I am very rich I want to buy a sh1tload of land and build me a cross between Rivendell and Lothlorien. teehee.

No, I am completely sane.

lordsippa · 01-04-2002 10:40pm

I don't want children. EVER.

"And I wanna conquer the world, give all the idiots a brand new religion, put an end to poverty uncleanliness and toil, promote equality and all of my decisions"

lordsippa · 02-04-2002 11:00pm

And now Neil has sealed his fate as "dead quite soon" as opposed to "dead in the nearby future."

Isolation · 03-04-2002 5:38am

I want to be dead.

I know the feeling...

Probably either still working minimum wage crap job in Ireland or if fate smiled on me I'll be living somewhere in America having a beautiful, happy life. Hey, its a nice dream anyway!

Dont die.

Life is fun to try and analyse.

Mills · 04-04-2002 2:32am

In the next ten years I'd like to have fun, lots of fun, beyond that I don't really know, I have some ideas about things I'd like to do, but nothing's set in stone, they can change on a whim. Here's a few:

Do some travelling, Europe and Asia (specifically japan), also I mean to try living/working in a couple of foreign countries, not just visiting.

Go to college, once I find out what it is I'd most like to study.

Fall in love and actually have it work out for once, for a while at least.

Work as a Hackney/Taxi driver for a while (this is the one that's most likely to disappear, I have no idea where it came from but it's a pretty recent phenomenon).

I don't have a bloody notion where I want to be in 10 years, and that's the way I like it, I'm happy enough to take things a day at a time and see where I end up. The concept of having a plan of some sort for where I want to end up and how I'm going to get there is alien to me, and long may it continue.

IRISHLILY24 · 04-04-2002 10:53pm

I'd like to teach and make a difference in every child's life.
I'd like to live happily without a social status.
I'd like to breathe clean air.
I'd like to smile all day and not have to say why.
I'd like to hug people when they needed a hug, and be hugged when I needed one.
I'd like to meet a man who would loveand cherish me as much as I would love and cherish him, marry him, have his children, raise them and then see my grandchildren before I die, in ireland.

You dont have to have a reason, it is a logical assumption that the guy you are with has finally progressed the level "max" in the bedroom and found some button you like pressed.
Girls in Ireland wont ask their girlfriends "what are you smiling about"

....because they know its exactly what they aint smiling.

I dont think a more ignorant remark could have been made.
Thanks chernobyl, I havnt had to make a negative remark to anyone on the boards since i've started. If you knew me then you would never attempt to make such a comment but since you dont it only proves that your not bright enough to know the difference. I need not explain anything about my life, I am here to have a good time and have some fun with the replies. Independence my dear little person, is what my life has always been about. Just because I would now like to find someone to share my life with, share common ground, mutual respect, and a love life where we may procreate as well as fullfill our passionate needs to an all time high....I see nothing wrong with wanting to share your intermost feelings and dreams with a life partner of equal intelligence and moral grounding....how does that not make me independent? Let's not take this to a personal level shall we. I am perfectly happy chatting away about such things with everyone else and havnt had such comments made as of yet.
wow, I have had a bad night, day was fine but this sure tops my night. see ya tomorrow :tired:

chernobyl · 05-04-2002 3:00am

Well IRISHLILY24, if you want to hold onto the dream that has been sold to you, then go ahead, who am i to tell you otherwise because as you stated, i know nothing about you....but i do know this, they guy you want does not exist, reality will bite you back.

Aww nuts... just when I was about to propose

IRISHLILY24 · 05-04-2002 2:29pm

ahh well, I feel sorry that you feel that way cher.
I however know that what I want is out there because only I know what it is I want out of life. Sorry you seem so bitter about such things though

rymus, since you dont exist I guess I couldnt accept. lol

Crash · 05-04-2002 2:44pm

Breathe clean air is a good one. havent been able to do that one in years. stupid dublin air.

Wow, that is quite cynical. are you saying just because somebody is looking for that certain someone that they want to spend their life with, that they or overly dependent?

If you beleive that, i pity you.

chernobyl · 05-04-2002 4:11pm

There is no "certain somebody" and i find it amusing that ppl still believe in the "one" for them dream.

Of course you and Legolas can live in my Rivendell place dear Aideen.

And did anybody else notice that Legolas uses a saddle in the movie?? He's not reall an Elf at all!!

qwidgybo · 05-04-2002 7:36pm

i don't believe that there is "one certain somebody" - but love is possible and when you are in love you feel that there will never be anyone else....

don't be so cynical

Pitty i'm too young for you

IRISHLILY24 · 05-04-2002 9:04pm

huh?
how old are you? :cheeky:

sisob · 05-04-2002 9:13pm

17, remember on After Hours:

I didnt realize there were kids, err uh, teenagers on the board sorry, and I mean that in a good way. My topics will be carfully worded from now on.

Crash · 05-04-2002 9:15pm

He's 17, so about 7 years off then. unless you like younger guys

I don't believe there is a certain someone, i beleive that there are multiple people that you can spend your life with. it just depends on whether you find one of them or not.

<edit> didnt notice the other post there, oh well </edit>

sisob · 05-04-2002 9:22pm

Love is completly circumstancial as far as I can tell - If you can fall in love when you meet them tomorrow you might not fall in love with them if you met them the day after - It all seems a bit random to me - but the end product is still the same - Love ...

IRISHLILY24 · 05-04-2002 9:29pm

sorry sisob, i forgot already

too many things on my mind

Crash · 05-04-2002 9:30pm

Life is very fickle, so everything is circumstantial, as far as i can tell. but i'm most likely a fool, so this entire paragraph is most likely bull****.

Lalalalala

IRISHLILY24 · 05-04-2002 9:33pm

awe foobar, you sound sweet to me, you shouldnt think that way:)
you should never doubt yourself, always be confident

Crash · 05-04-2002 9:39pm

Lol, i just realised how cynical that ended up sounding!

I'm actually in a good mood, mainly cus i'm no longer broke as its my birthday. Yay Money!

IRISHLILY24 · 05-04-2002 9:44pm

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
