1.) to understand more about the world and about myself everyday, until I find a way of appreciating every last moment, and finding someone that can make me feel that....that thing which I haven't felt before...
 
2.) figure out what the big deal is with Magma

I would like to start a publishing company: music CD's, books.
And I would like my  prog band to stay successful (that is, stay imaginative and creative).

Damn , I will.

I do agree with Dylan completely. That's what I hope to achieve in the second half of my life, hoping that my health remains as good as it has always been so far. I've worked in environments where people were ready to sell their children in order to achieve their goals, but that didn't make them happy. Now that I have found love, I want to be able to enjoy the simple things of life.

Thanks Dylan.  Living the laid back lifestyle is not easy in the modern era, with so much pressure to conform, compete, and consume, whether material things or just ideas like "happiness" and "excitement" as packaged on tv.  I hope you get there.  I hope i do too.

I too would like to become more physically fit.

Also, Finnforest, I like the way you think. To own a big property in the mountains, maybe in Germany... and live my life out in comfort. Paint, photograph, listen to music, take long walks and bike rides... define success on my own terms. That's my dream.

I think it is for most folks, Shakes.  I'm out of step with people on many things.  I'm not sure how it happened but as you can imagine it can be lonely.  But we do share an aspiration for writing.  I love to write. 

And I too like your avatar.  Smile  Cheers!

1) To someday figure out what I want to be when I grow up, I'm 40 something and still have no idea. 
2) Health, for myself and those I love.

For me, life is about the simple, not the extraordinary.  I need not money, travel, excitement, or extravagance.  Only a walk in the morning and a song in the evening.

1) struggling author who barely makes enough money to live, but some how manages to buy a thousand prog CDs daily.
2) Be a hugely successful author whom everyone loves and buys thousands of CDs daily.

^ no, I didn't know that, though it shouldn't suprise me that some members here do make a living in that way.
 
I've dabbled in CD artwork at a purely amateur level, mainly photographic and digital art as I don't think my painting skills are up to it (http://members.aol.com/DarqDean/ofcdart.html), but I would have prefered to work on vinyl covers - the little 120mm CD booklets are so restrictive,
What?

That's nice, Dean! And surely nicer than most of the prog cd covers of the minor bands, unfortunately (so often, good music wrapped in tasteless "artistic" dilettantism).

BTW did you know that E-Dub is in the graphic design business and ArtGuyKen is a professional cover artist?
