When I form my transcendental commune, you can come down and set up a distillery to earn us some extra income. Then, we'll show them who needs a stinkin' plan. @Joyce: While all of that is nice, it won't provide me with much more than a fun life and a dog food retirement. @KL Thanks! I've been writing here for 6.5 years now, so I doubt it will stop, but I think it's time to write something more substantial. @Pablo: Good to know that someone else is screwed, too.

I admire the fact that you are letting life take you where it will, that your plan is to enjoy life, document it and let us come along on the ride. Goals are great, but sometimes living a life of curiosity and freedom is better. "I’m so tired of the web that I don’t even like to turn on my PC." I understand that sentiment. The web is exhausting, but writing is liberating, so I hope this doesn't mean that your writing days are numbered. :( Happy (belated) birthday! I am sorry I didn’t read this earlier.

You plan to make the rest of us laugh, you plan to be with #1GF for the rest of your life, you plan to make a wonderful home in your newly renovated house, you plan to spend good quality time with friends, you plan to allow for more parking spaces at that house so all your friends can meet you at the beach .... see? You have plans my friend. I think you actually DO have a plan Jon.

What I find most interesting about your birthday post is how easily you have managed to describe a scenario I have struggled with so much. Not having a clear destination or "plan" as my dad calls it. He asked me if I had a plan 10 years ago. I said no. He mentioned he never had one either. It is a disturbing situation. My only point here being you aren't alone. I get caught in this tangled web some times to the point where I refuse to make it out of the house for the whole day...even the weekend. That needs to stop.
