one up one down

one step further up the ladder to permanent residency, one committee member down. all in one day, 'delivered'-ironically-by the same person.
should i be laughing or crying?

"Everything will always be OK in the end." ' But what if it is not?" "But what if it is what not?" 'What if all isn't good in the end?" "Well, that is easy- then it isn't the end yet!"

From the Vinyl Cafe- Sam's Predictions

What would you do if you won 30 million?

what started out as a "what do you talk about in an hour car ride to Penticton" with Brandon, Brody and Craig might as well be an answer to "what do you want in life"?

what do we want? what do we wish for? house, car, family, jaegerzaun (picket fence)? if i would put an adjective to what i wish my life to be i would chose adventurous.
i wish to be able at any given day to wake up with the sun and go outside, without worries about a missed job or appointment. i wish that i am able to climb up rocks and ascend mountains, descent into caves, squeeze through the tight holes of possibility and time. i hope i will have the courage to kick shins when they deserve it*, and give comfort to a friend even when it means that it will make me uncomfortable**.
