I want my pilots license.

Every time I start saving for it, I get laid off, and end up depleating that savings account for stuff like food, shelter, etc.

More time.

There's never been much that I've really wanted that I couldn't get if I was willing to work hard enough and be patient.  It always comes down to a matter of time.

To that end, I suppose lower taxes are something I really want.  The higher my taxes are, the longer it takes me to get the things I want.  The lower my taxes are, the less time it takes me to acquire anything monetary in nature, and the more time I can spare for pursuing the non-monetary things in life.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I want my original nose back.   =(

And innocent faith in authority.  That would be nice.

Edit: And such faith that would never be disabused because it was well placed.   =D

That edited part, also important.   :angel:

Provided that said authority is worthy of your innocent faith.

I actually got to work with the reactor a bit back at Purdue.  It didn't live up to expectations.

That's because your neutron absorption cross-section is too small.
