Geekery

There's life goals, and then there's life goals. Yeah, you want to travel, get a good job, marry some smokin' young thing and raise a herd of anklebiters, but what about the in-between goals? Like, inventing a slang that becomes all the rage. This I have done, inadvertently and somewhat embarrassingly. But you get my point. Things that frost the cake. The cake is still there, you want it and you're going to eat it, but you know you want the frosting too.

I'm taking this to an illustrative context--to serve as motivation, or reminders, what have you. First up:



I want to pet a lion. Not necessarily do its hair, but touch one. Wouldn't that be rad?

Next on the list: ride an ostrich. I have wanted to do this all my life, I kid you not. As a kid I loved piggyback rides because while sailing around I could imagine myself really riding an ostrich--no offense to Dad or whatever uncle was giving me a lift at the time. There are ostrich races in Nevada, Youtube verifies this. This is a real thing! And I am going to do it.
