Topic: You after 20 years Posted: December 18 2007 at 12:06 |
Ok, can you imagine yourself after 20 years? Do you have a clue how will you look like or what will be your occupation? Do you have a vision for yourself?

At any particular moment I have a vision for myself all mapped out; but then it keeps changing  The only thing I am reasonably sure of is that my occupation will be math-oriented in some way. I'm not sure if that's something to be nervous about or to be excited about; probably both.

I'll be the guy at the nursing home who has to be told to turn down "Gates of Delirium" because it's scaring the younger residents and keeping them up all night.

Probably in a fairly steady job, hopefully with a partner. There's no humour in it, but what's wrong with a bit of honesty?

Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?

God i hope you still have hair too. Letting you go bald would be the cruelest cosmic joke ever, your hair is the best! By the way, i didn't know you were into Chemistry..have you always been or has it come to you recently?
