5 Years





Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Or would like to be? Financially, Romantically, Debt Free, Finished School, Kids, etc.... Do you think whichever goals you have for the future, are realistic?

I want to be in Europe somewhere, teaching ESL, and completely done with school!

I'd like to travel, and travel, and travel some more. I am very restless.

I will probably still be broke. Hopefully, I'll be happy.

Pushing thru the market square, so many mothers sighing
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favourite melodies
I saw boys, toys electric irons and t.v.’s
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
I never thought I’d need so many people

A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
If the black hadn’t a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest, and a queer threw up at the sight of that

I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don’t think
You knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you’re beautiful, I want you to walk

We’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
We’ve got five years, what a surprise
Five years, stuck on my eyes
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
We’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
We’ve got five years, what a surprise
We’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes
We’ve got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that’s all we’ve got
Five years
Five years
Five years
Five years

I hope to have travelled the U.S., U.K. and Canada nod
I hope to have found love with someone who's worthy of the word
I hope to be happy within my own skin

When I saw the name of this thread that song started playing in my head smile


Well...ideally, I'll be married and have a child...my career will be back on track...and my college bills nearly paid off and I'll be looking into buying a home.
Realistically...well...I hope that these things happen smile

5 years I see myself:

~Travelling like crazy
~Owning my own house
~Financially secure for life
~In love and in a committed relationship
~Still a good father, perhaps for a second time...
~Spiritually and emotionally at peace...
~Drinking a Coke

You think you're denying me of something
Well I've got plenty
You're the one who's missing out
But you won't notice
'Til after five years
If you'll live that long
You'll wake up
All loveless

I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
To show me your palms

I'm so bored with cowards
That say they want
Then they can't handle

You can't handle love
You can't handle love
You just can't handle

I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
To show me your palms

What's so scary ?
Not a threat in sight
You just can't handle
You can't handle love

You can't handle love, baby
You can't handle love
It's obvious
You can't handle

I dare you
To take me on
I dare you
To show me your palms

I'm so bored of cowards
That say they want
Then they can't handle

You can't handle love, baby
You can't handle love,
It's obvious
You can't handle

I dare you, I dare you
I dare you, I dare you

I'd like to finished with Grad School by then...hopefully in a more stable romantic relationship.
Other than that I'm pretty happy with my life the way it is now. If it keeps going the way it has I'd be more than greatful. pray
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

Probably work in a big studio in the US as a head sound engineer.
Not married, probably not even involved romantically.
I'll be almost completely bald.
A little heavier than now.
Will probably still be posting on the org.

Hopefully, In 5 years I'll be in college, majoring in music.
I'll be "out," so maybe I'll have a real relationship. But I'm perfectly happy all alone.
I'll have a job, and I'll be far away from NYC.
I'll find a reason to keep living-besides living just to someday die.

And on a less depressing note-I'll still be posting on here with all of you fine people! dancing jig hug

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown
