i feel at 27 i'm still to young to really know. i'm not where i want to be, but i can't complain. i have a nice house and a beautiful wife...my family lives near by and we are all very close. i'm happy with the fact i've owned a house now for 3 years and the value has gone up 2 fold. my future won't be here, but at least it gives me a great start getting to where i want to be without having to scrape by. but no matter what it all seems to fall short. i don't know what it is i really want, but its something i don't have and i'm not sure where it will come from.

Well, I was not planning on marrying a she-devil who would suck the life right out of me. So, yes, it turn out differently than I wanted.

No.
I wanted to be the next Evel Knievel.
I didn't get the broken bones, the Harley, the Rocket Car, the Elvis wannabe jumpsuit or the glory yet, but I did end up with a drinking problem, so I have hope for the rest.
Who knows what next year will bring?

Yeah. Growing up alot of my relatives expected me to be a doctor (like my mom) or an engineer (like my dad)--alot of my relatives are in the medical field. I studied both engineering and psychology in college. I was 2 years done with engineering when I decided to say "Fuck It", I'm not doing this shit for myself so I changed majors to psychology (although I was interested in teaching also). I got my BA and MA and thought about getting a PhD at one time but I didn't want to go back to school again. I worked a couple of years working with the MICA population. I was interviewing for a higher position but during the interview I saw my whloe life flash infront of me and I decided that I would like to try to become a teacher so during my interview I gave my 3 weeks notice that I was leaving. I left a very good paying job but I have no regrets. I'm not a teacher yet but eventually I'll be one.
My dad died in my senior year and my folks bought a house in Mississppi. If my dad never died, I would most likely still be living there.
My childhood sweetheart and I had our ups and downs in our relationship. At one time I was thinking of marrying her but deep down I knew it would never work because of our on-and-off again relationship. There was another thread about being in so much pain, so dude your not alone. But me and her are still friends.
I still haven't won the lottery yet but I'm still trying.

My parents also at one time tried to talk me into joining the military (alot of my relatives were in the Armed Forces). But I was not one to follow orders so I never gave it a thought and I hated getting crew cuts.

I wanted to work for one of the major media companies as a videographer. I went to college (the wrong one, mine had no connections into the industry even though it was a major university), spent a year and a half working for a back-woods TV station in Pa. Had to leave due to politics and the fact that I would never advance in the company (or to other stations in the area) because I was considered and "Outsider" being originally form NYC and didn't live in the area all my life or was an inbred hick related to managment at that station. I moved back home and havne't had any job yet that I could have as a career.....

I wanted to be an actor. . .for real I did. But then I realized I'd have to be poor for the rest of my life. Chicks don't dig poverty too much. And I did always want a family (not now, later). So I joined the Army to become a doctor, that didn't work out. So I'm still a nurse, but now I'm back in school, so I guess you're getting a resounding NO from me.

I could use some more money but I think Im doing ok. Everything we've planned seems to be on track. I hope to be married and buy a house within the next 2 years.

I wanted to be a graphic designer, I started out that way and worked in printing. I loved the ability to be creative, have fun and get paid to do it. Though my career path has seriously deviated from there. I still do graphic design work from time to time, but it's not the same thing has having a career of it.

i think everyone has a picture in their mind of what they would like to happen, but it is very rare for it to go work out. the best thing you can do is be able to roll with the changes and not freak out.

Reeshy, as you can see this is a serious thread to some us, at least.
My life in no way has turned out as I had thought.
Life has always been a surprise for me, one way or another. And I have, like the rest of the major population, have had a hell of a rollercoaster ride on the journey.
There will always be things that I would not have changed -
1. My four beautiful daughters
2. The wonderful people that I have come across in my life (and yes, including you guys)
3. The lessons that made me strong, made me think, and made me conscience of my actions
Don't get me wrong, I am a "Misery loves company" type of person, just like alot of us. But we did have to choose our own roads, and travel our own journeys......And hopefully, at the end, we won't have to say "This was an absolute waste of a life".
Because if you do, you are the moron who made it that way!!!!!
Just a thought.....

So far so good. I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in Kindergarten, and I have become one. Although, I didn't know I wanted to work with the autism spectrum until I was 17, that kind of fell in my lap as well.

I always wanted to be married to a woman I truly loved, have a couple of great kids and a house in the suburbs where I could drink wine on the deck on summer evenings.
It took 40 years but it was worth the wait.

Yeah, much different than how I wanted or what I thought, I'm under a mountain of debt from school loans, and I simply can't get a job in computer programming anymore without moving to India.
I drive all night for work, and I think something's wrong with my heart, and the worry about it keeps me from sleeping when I am home. so I'm literally a moment of tired weekness and a stray deer in the pine barens from a fatal crash.
I've decided that I'm not going to see a doctor until November, and only if Kerry wins, because I know that's the only way I have any hope of a future. Otherwise, I'll let whatever's wrong with my heart claim my life, let my gf have my meager life insurance money, and move on with her life, free of her awful loser boyfriend.
I can't wait to die.

That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. If you're not feeling well...SEE A FUCKING DOCTOR RIGHT NOW !!!
Then when Kerry loses you'll be well enough to fight the good fight against what you believe to be an evil administration and not take the chickenshit way out.
Christ, suck it up. We all go through rough patches in our lives - you deal with them, fight them if you have to, then get on with your life.
Don't blame Bush for everything that is wrong in your life....that's just nuts.

I think the best I can hope for is, like John Winston, to wait for the blissful moment when the bullet enters my brain.
plus seeing a doctor, and being diagnosed with what I think I'm going to be diagnosed with, I won't be able to afford it anyway.
I guess that makes me an "economic girlie man"..... so be it
