| that i get a new car...it's at around 186,000 miles and starting to see its wear. I just pray that it will last me another 5 years and i'll be GOOD.
i've told my parents that when i get older, I wouldn't mind any blind dates.
but, If i do go on blind dates, i've decided i will drive up with a beat-down banger of a car haha
would that be too much?
if she doesn't mind, there is clearly something wrong with her.

| that "following your dreams" and "getting paid for what you love to do" is easier for those who have good family financial backing.
my dream? to be "successful" (lol) and have enough money to not worry about financial problems, at the same time i pray daily that i wouldn't get caught up in greed chasing paper. I don't need to be filthy rich. But, enough that my future children would have something to rely on (financially). I find that that's my duty. My parents came to America for opportunity, they did well and did as much as they could. Now my job is to take that opportunity and build on it so the future generations of my family will have better opportunities without the worry for not having enough financial backing.
..It's easier for those to pursue their dreams when they don't have to worry about feeding the rest of their family. For example, my parents don't have a retirement plan, as is the case with many other immigrant parents. I find it my duty for me to become a good enough retirement plan for my parents, i want them to live the rest of their lives w/o having to worry about money. Yea yea with more money may come more problems but that's either because you aren't managing your finances well or because of greed. Sure, money doesn't bring happiness, and you "can't buy happiness" but having money at least eliminates financial troubles.
I'll leave it to my children to pursue their dreams whatever they may be. As of now, I find that me wanting to follow my own dreams (photography?) is selfish...i'm disregarding what my duty is just because I want some satisfaction in my own life.
Some say you won't find happiness unless you follow your dreams, that working just to make money won't have good results, but i beg to differ. As much as it might sound "sad" for me to say I don't plan on following my "dreams," I find equal satisfaction in life knowing I'm able to fully support my family and pave a nice foundation for the future generations of my bloodline.
I would have never thought of my life in this way, but maybe i'm starting to grow up and "mature"
either that, or i've lost my youth along the way. but, i don' think that's the case...
my mom sometimes jokes that I should become a minister like my uncle or a missionary everytime we discuss the Word, but her saying that scares me...bc. what if that really happens? (God works in mysterious ways right?)
shooooot!

| apparently i am on the path straight to hell and am probably not loved by God.
ahhh good old arguments (even still?? aren't i old enough not to?!) with the mother... i admit i should be comin out to church more on sundays...but i'm not right with God cause i don't volunteer??? also, i never knew i never read the bible or pray daily...i guess everytime i do in private i should let my mom know so she can witness it so she can be rest assured that i am not on the pathway to hell. man this was so random...don't think i had an argument relating to this since high school, and that was 3 1/2 years ago (has it been that long already?). Just threw me back and made me feel like i was in junior high...at the same time i know i should listen to the mom since time will tell when she won't be around anymore...but this is ridiculous.
menopause kills.
i don't want a wife.
and
i am ready to adopt.
