What a strange, strange day. Weird thoughts running through my head.
I'm at a new job for a little over a month now, and around lunch time today I start thinking: wouldn't it be cool to not have to move around anymore? To maybe find someplace permanent, and live there? Maybe find some sweet young thing, and settle down with her?
From there, it occurred to me: I never really planned anything in my life beyond what's directly in front of me. In school, this was easy: what was in front of me was the next semester, and a degree. Now, I have a degree, I have what looks to be a stable job, and I'll be moving into a new place in a few months. What next?
A friend of mine asked me what I saw myself doing in ten years. I told him I had no idea. I don't really have any dreams for the future; I don't have much in the way of hopes beyond what I've already done. I can see 1, maybe 2 years into my own future in terms of what I want, but anything beyond that might as well be an eternity away. It's kinda weird I guess, but it's all I have.
