What do you want?

Everyone wants something. What do you want, right now?

  • I want to learn how to listen to others far better than I do now
  • I want to be truthful and less hypocritical
  • I want to learn how to speak my mind, in an organized, consistent way
  • I want chocolate. Badly.

:laughing:

Your turn. Anyone?

candy

iā€™ve answered this before in a superlative way,iā€™m sure, but i am unable to search for and link to that post.

my mental state is so bad right now,i want whatever i can want,then take it/do it.

i know damsure the only things ever worth wanting are unattainable in this lifetimeā€¦

but,does that mean they are not worth wanting?

you are wrong, there are lots of things worth wanting that are easly ubtattainable you just need to stop being a whiney bitch, and itā€™s easy

yes

You think you want something.
You get it too quickly and decide it isnā€™t for you.
You talk yourself out of it and decide you want something else.
You then realize that what you had was better than what you think you wanted. But that wasnā€™t all that good either. Then you finally realize that dreaming about what you want is so much better than really wanting it or getting it in the first place. Are you following me?

Drift?

maybe zandarman was right

how could we GET something WHEN we want it? are we friggin kings!?

my mind shifts quickly when unstable,at times. but the true things i want cannot rationally be un-wanted.

Have?I have enough to subsist at the moment.

A drum machine.
A Korg Kaoss Pad.

A father figure to be injected into my memorial past
A father that is not in the insane asylum or on the other side of town with a new son and a new wife.
To make my hair grow longer because it does not look right with my new glasses.
To not need glasses.
To get a better cell phone.
To speak and understand all Earth languages so that I can talk to anybody

Et Cetera.

Very Cool.

All I really need to keep happy is to maintain inner peace.

Your Oprah/Cruise avatar (which I always grin at when I see it around the web) sure looks like inner peace isnā€™t QUITE being maintained thereā€¦ :wink:

A bacon, mushroom, swiss burger full dressed, some steamed shrimp, crab and lobster on the side with several cups of garlic butter and coctail sauce. A great big bottle of orange soda, pototo chips, granola bars the soft kind, eggs poached in milk with buttered toast. A great big salad with ranch dressing and croutons, BBQed ribs with potato salad and spicy pork and beans, a pitcher of unsweet iced tea, Ooooooh my homemade chili from scratch oooooohhhh Yea thats it, get in my belly!

Thats all I want.

Kris,

Just a little hungry? :astonished:

I think that Cruise prefers to maintain his insanity. :laughing:
