So if I were to re-arrange your bedroom furniature while you're not home, would you completely freak out?Dark_Knight6
I said "sprinkle" and yes, I would be very creeped out that someone broke into my house and just rearranged my things.

I'm starting to do what I really want, but I still have few doubts about it. I'm preparing for a career that does not have anything to do with my major. I'm planning for a life that is not going to be harmonic with my family, relatives and other people around here.

I've always wanted to be a game developer. Coding, modeling, animating is all so interesting to me. Instead I'm in electrical engineering which I enjoy almost as much...practicality and location wins in this situation.

Writing a novel about my life. I'm not doing it because I take for granted the time that I have on this Earth and am always putting it off for later.

well, going to receive my BA in computer engineering next January. I wanted to do software engineering and stuff, but lost interest in it. Currently working on my English language to work with any respectful foreign NGO here like the UNRWA.

There are two things I would like to be doing. What I want to do: Hang out with this girl I've been talking to for a while. What is preventing me from above action: The time. What I want to do: Get crunk with my friends What is preventing me from above action: 6 days. That's how long until I turn 21. :D

The only thing stopping me from doing what I want to do is that I haven't reached that stage in my plan. That is the only thing that stops me from doing anything.

It's FEAR to a certain extent. The extremity of it depends on the person, their history, and current situation. My only other explanation would be LAZINESS, lack of money/funds/capital, or opportunity.

Because it's against the law

testfactor888
I see a lot of people saying this, but I'm having a hard time figuring out why.

Because what we would like to be doing would violate the law. Not sure what is so hard to figure out about that.

I'm not talking about it that way. The law has no effect on peoples behavior. Social status on the other hand does. Which can eventually be brought back to law and maintaining order, but only after a long, long walk of other things that are far more important to us. Law is not important and has little impact on people not doing what they want to be doing. People only choose that response because it's easy to recognize it as something we aren't suppose to do and that way don't have to be expected to do it. In a sense it's a cop out.

At the moment... because i'm at work.

overall... mostly because there are a lot of hoops that i have to jump through to do what i want to be doing. being stuck on the corporate ladder really sucks... especially when you're only a couple of rungs up.

but i don't really want to start a new career... and anything else would pay me less than I'm making right now.

ugh.

sorry, /rant.

I want to do Air Force Pararescue but at the moment I'm building a better foundation with the girlfriend. I'm also in the process of getting a college degree, either in criminal justice or becoming a registered nurse (I can do the RN program for free, so its an option). I also know a former PJ is helping me get ready to go in the next 2 to 3 years...
