Hmmmm

I want to travel more. There are places still on the globe that I want to see. I want to learn how to play the piano and guitar. I want to really, fully, truly, and actually fall in love.

There are too many things to list, but hopefully, it will be a more manageable list before I get that tap on the shoulder telling me that even though the party will continue, its time for me to go.

As a doctorate is a priority for you, we function on very different planes. For me, working and living in Asia was a truly life-changing experience.

I've done lots , travelled , gambled , partied hard , taken drugs , womanized , all I want now is to feel loved , a women who likes to cuddle , kiss and show effection.

The old proverb says 'too soon old too late wise.' that definitely applies to me.
had i known 20 yrs ago how crooked/manipulated the financial system is i would have multiples of my net worth. i never invested long term b/c i thought i could make way more than a paltry 8%/yr. and i did have a yr where an investment account was up 153%. but i gave it all back +.
you are still young enough to plan ahead.
although, when i was your age i was hitting the bottle pretty hard + other stuff. never thought i'd still be alive.
as mickey mantle said: 'if i'd known i was going to live this long i'd have taken better care of myself'.
however, since my atrial flutter forced me to cut back drastically on the alcohol a few yrs ago i'm actually in pretty good shape now. just shows that we have no idea what the future holds but should still try to prepare for it.
