batman (Kohta [NMN] Ueno):
Maybe becoming a carpenter, piano tuner, an electrician, a locksmith,
a cabinetmaker, a mechanic or an HVAC repairman. But not a plumber.
Plumbing sucks and is really messy and nasty and dull.
Maybe I'll try something more exciting, with a higher mortality rate. Like
refilling automatic teller machines with money. Or being a cab driver (heh,
heh, heh). Or being a hit man.
When I was a young child, I liked to dismantle, modify, and fix mechanical
things. Adults saw this and said,"You should become a scientist or an
engineer." Well, now that's I'm learning about these things, I think that
maybe I don't want to become a scientist or an engineer.
Maybe liking to dismantle, modify, and fix things just means that I like to
dismantle, modify, and fix things.

philo (paul eluard):
my plan is to know everything there is to know,
to meet everyone there is to meet,
to go everywhere there is to go,
And then,
when i'm done,
my plan is to die.

rjbarbal (Richard J. Barbalace):
Empty and false are the hopes of the senseless,
and fools are borne aloft by dreams.
Like a man who catches at shadows or chases the wind,
is the one who believes in dreams.
What is seen in dreams is to reality
what the reflection of a face is to the face itself.
Can the unclean produce the clean?
can the liar ever speak the truth?
Divination, omens, and dreams all are unreal;
what you already expect, the mind depicts.
Unless it be a vision specially sent by the Most High,
fix not your heart on it;
For dreams have led many astray,
and those who believed in them have perished.
(Sirach, 34:1-7)
Beware the Monsters of the Dark, cunning and tireless beasts.
"The past gives itself form and lurks with sharp claws in the
space behind your eyes." The nightmares will go away some day.
