Three by three by three

Let it be, let it be, let it be. Oh, sorry. Didn't see you there...I was just finishing up some...oh, nevermind. Anyhoo, yesterday was my birthday! I am now 27. That's right, I'm now three times three times three. It's a good thing that I'm not superstitious; otherwise, I might think that this year is DEFINITELY my year. I mean, come on, an age like that only comes around once in a lifetime. Literally. So, to give myself some focus, I've decided to make a list of some of the things that I want to do in my remaining handful of life. I know it's trite...but no one is forcing you to read (and if someone is...my apologies)

I WILL learn at least one language fluently.
-So, I can speak four foreign languages like a retarded child. I really just want to be able to watch a damned foreign film without subtitles. Is that so much to ask? And, it would also be nice if, when I speak to a native speaker, they don't giggle incessantly. INCESSANTLY! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?!? SEE, I SPEAK AT LEAST ONE LANGUAGE, JERK!!! Whew....moving along...

I WILL get a doctorate in something.
-I really don't care what. It would be nice if it were in something that other doctorates wouldn't make fun of me for, but I'm not picky. This all has to do with the fact that I was practically raised by Robert Heilein's books, and now I have improbable standards to reach. But, in the spirit of compromise, I've decided that I will settle for adding SOMETHING unique to the pool of human wisdom. And, I really want it to be something other than "don't be like Josh"

I WILL date someone that I respect.
-Okay, so my record to date doesn't really back up this wishfulness. But, really, isn't there some sort of overpopulation thing or something? Surely, out of all the people in the world there is someone that I can respect and who likes me. And, if he happens to look like Leonardo Sbaraglia, then I'm fine with that.

And...that's it. See? I'm not too picky. Too bad all of those things require lots and lots of effort. sigh.
