In A Perfect World

Before I get started, I just want to say that by now I think you should know that I enjoy making lists. They're a great way of making me remember things and also a way to get what I want to say across in a fashionable manner.

So, I've been thinking of myself lately and I thought, "what would my perfect world consist of?" Well, besides the obvious, world peace, for starters. And perhaps be president of the United States, but I wasn't even born here, so that's out of the question... But I'm thinking of more realistic, achievable goals.

1. Open up a diner/venue - In a perfect world, I will be the owner of a sweet 50s styled diner (and POSSIBLE record shop) that plays rock-n-roll and pop punk songs in constant rotation. Co-owner will be my newly acquired friend, Pames Jollard, because it seems that we both share the vision to own our own restaurant and strangely enough, we both love pop punk and rock-n-roll. I also want to hold shows there that books a wide range of underground music. If that doesn't work, there's also a vegan, Mexican restaurant business I could look into.

2. In love - I will be dating (anonymous), my dream girl and I will love her forever, or at least until the apocalypse in 2012 kicks in. We will rock and take off in a rocket ship to the moon and play a punk rock show there to a bunch of punk rockers. We will have also discovered new life forms (ET) that will ask, "What is this fucking noise and funny feeling?" Once they realize that the funny feeling that is taking over their body is the all powerful rock-n-roll, they will join me and my love in our intergalactic journey to rock the entire Milky Way.

3. Own a record studio - Okay, so this may not be as realistic as rockin' out the Milky Way, but I would love to own a recording studio, fucking around and recording jams every night. I would experiment new styles and export tunes in great quality. Since I don't know shit about sound engineering, I will hire someone to do my work, I will just jam out... But to do that, I'd have to hire someone and that takes money, which brings me to my next one...

4. Millionaire - I fucking hate money, but goddamn, I would like to have lots of it. I feel like it's the root of all evil and cause of a vicious cycle, but hey.... what the fuck do I know about struggle or anything important? I have a job at a fast food joint and my parents pay for most of my shit. What they don't support is my punk rock hobby and obsessions, but that's where my burger joint paychecks come in. I just wish I was a cook and my parent's didn't have to work anymore so they could take a permanent vacation.

5. ??? - I can't think of a fifth one, honestly, but I guess what I'm currently craving is Taco Bell. So, I guess it'd have to be to have a private Taco Bell just for me, in my living room. I don't even want to own one, I just want a personal one that make perfect cheesy gordita crunches, crunchwrap supremes, and fiesta potatoes. Goddamn, I'm starving.
