Understanding people

[Mcupobob]

To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you and to hear the lamentations of their women...

On a serious note, I think my motivations in life are to be happy as myself instead of feeling the need to pander to other peoples wishes. Possibly why I plan to move to a whole other country, so all ties with my life here and who I am can be cut. Money I certainly don't chase after. Winning the lottery would be nice, sure, but I'd still end up buying a second hand cheap car and some 2 bedroom house in a low price area because they are the type of people I know.

Love, that's slightly different, my inner jury is currently out on that topic, I haven't felt anything like it in such a long time that I have reason to doubt its existence, whilst at the same time I cling to some childish hope that it exists and will somehow make my life feel complete.

Ideally, I'd live in a smallish community on some forested mountainside with a nice bar that has a jukebox which has never heard of pop music, a close knit community where the people look out for each other. A porch that I could sit out on with a beer and a cigarette and watch the sun go down one balmy summers eve. A couple of big dogs like Irish Wolfhounds laying by my side, a kid or two playing in the garden. To be part of an active heathen community would be nice aswell.

Still, pipe dreams eh?

*cries* my god I would love to have all those things.

Motivated to...what? Live? Go on the escapist? Use the internet? Eat a pie?
I'm motivated to live life because I want to affect a large margin of people as positively as possible.
I'm motivated to post here because of mild insomnia.
I'm motivated to use the internet because of mild insomnia.
I'm not motivated to eat a pie because cake is way better.

Be more specific next time, kay?

I only have 5 emotions: Ammused, bored, curious, sleepy, & irritated. (I'm incapable of sadness, fear, happiness, love, disgust, or anger though).

My goal in liffe is to remain ammused as often as possible, even at the expence of others. I want to know what makes everything tick. I want to go to bed late & sleep in late.
