Some time back Anton and I was discussing goals in life. For quite a number of years getting into a UWC was one of my main goals, I wanted to be good enough to get away from the place I am brought up. He said he had some big goals that kept him going. Then Thomas challenged me to make a list of my porposes in life, but however I twist my brain I can't see that I have a purpose in life, as far as I see they are only goals of self-fullfillment. My definition of purpose might be wroung, or it might be my attitude, but I don't think any single person have any purpose in life other than reproduction and let's face it, I am not breading stock. But back to the goals in life. Mine are not big or great, they are not ' find a cure for AIDS' like. They are more simple, more about me, about the way I want to live my life.

About finding a place you can call home:
I was discussing this with my mom the other day. The thing is, I've been missing the college like crazy, and I've begun thinking of it as my home. At the same time, I'm realising that my childhood home is not really my home anymore. She told me how she had returned to her childhood home in Denmark, and how disappointed and scared she become when it wasn't at all what she was looking for.
The place we call home is not a place. It's a feeling. It's poeple and an affinity for a place... You'll find it, just be careful you don't pass it before you realise.
About the A.I.:
One day, I shall become the grand owner of cyber-X-periments inc. and renowned bio-engineer and expert at cybernetics, and together we shall try out all the latest in A.I and Cyberware. We shall indeed be the first to have internet and other appliances plugged straight to the veins! Also, we shall be the first to have mechanicaly enhanced everything... We'll be the geeks of the new generation!
Hihi...
No Thomas, it is not the same, mainly bacause of my intention behind it. Why I want to do it. Helping mankind is not a reason for any of them, however curel that sounds. Look at Bunny's comment, that's more why..
And I discovered that blogger cut half of my post, damn it. There are more things on this list.
Nah, they are all there now, wasn't when I posted that comment though. But as some of these get crossed off, the list will expand if I know myself correctly. But yeah, I'll stick around for a while.
Super color scheme, I like it! Good job. Go on.
