so im reading kerouac and in the story he asks this girl "what do you want out of life?" and for some reason it struck me...after i thought about it for a while i concluded that ultimately what i want is to experience it all. my life goals are not ordinary, its not money, not an engineering degree, not things like everybody says. you know? i mean most people are like "i want a good job, a nice family, and decent money" and thats all well and good and those are things that i wouldnt mind. but right now and especially after reading some of this kerouac i want to experience life, and really thats the reason im in school, the reason im studying engineering...its all means to an end and that end is to be able to do what i want with life. i guess what im trying to get at here is that i do not want ordinary, i want to be able to say i did something special, something that money cant buy, something that "average" people look at and think "now that wouldve been a great experience"...thats what i want, experience...and im not sure how yet, but when i do it you will know...or maybe its just the kerouac...
this entry was crazy...
