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.
Ambition: to find a booze that tastes worse than gasoline.

Waiting. Lurking. Hacking. Building Furniture. :-)
"Evil in general does not sleep, and therefore doesn't see why anyone
else should..."
Long term...
Thinking. Recovering.

I'm sure people have beaten this topic to death before, but I'll flog it
again - WHY DOES IT TAKE 400K BYTES MORE CODE SPACE AND 200K BYTES MORE
DATA SPACE TO PUT A SILLY CLOCK ON THE SCREEN THAN TO IMPLEMENT ULTRIX?
I feel much better now.

rlcarr (Richard L. Carreiro):
"...my love for you is immeasurable,
My respect for you, immense.
You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness
You're beauty and elegance.
You're a rhapsody, a comedy,
You're a symphony and a play.
You're every love song ever written
But honey what do you see in me?
You're in my heart, you're in my soul.
You'll be my breath when I grow old.
You are my lover, you're my best friend.
You're in my soul..."
