Seize The Carp

For you Katie

So I was talking with my buddy the other night saying how life is pretty boring right now. Nothing bad nothing good. Lots of stress. But I also had said that life was pretty great at the same time. NOthing spectacular is going on in my life, by all accounts, I'm bored and boring. But I've got my dreams.

Now I'm not really a Terri Clark fan. I'm not a big nashville fan. But I like the words to this song. Not all apply, but most do. It's the general message that I really love.

I'm sitting in traffic
For the 5th year in a row
Wasting my time
Just to get
Where I don't even wanna go
I started jaunting things down
On a krispy kreme sack
Everything I'd do
If I could leave this place
And never look back

I wanna do it all
Visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankee's play ball
I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads
Down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition
Lay down the law
I wanna do it all

I want to drink tequila
Down in Tijuana
Say why not
When somebody says
Hey do you wanna
I wanna get my heart broke
Once or twice
Settle down with the love of my life
Rock little babies to sleep at night

I wanna do it all
Visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankee's play ball
I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads
Down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition
Lay down the law
I wanna do it all

I wanna stand today
Every now and then
Just doing what I want to do
When I wanna do it
Anytime I wanna do it

I wanna do it all
Visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankee's play ball
I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads
Down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition
Lay down the law

I wanna do it all
See Niagara falls
Fight city hall
Feel good in my skin
Beating the odds
With my back to the wall
Trying to rob Peter
Without paying Paul
I wanna do it all
I wanna do it all
I wanna do it all

Some of these I've done. Some I haven't. But it does bring me to that list I've been meaning to put on here.

Big To Do:
1. Visit some place new every year.
2. Step foot on every continent on this earth.
3. Fall in love....reall true love.
4. Have my heart broken...I mean broken not disappointed.
5. Do something productive with the family farm.
6. Build a nice big IRA.

I'm sure that list will change, grow, and dwindle as time goes by but for right now at this time in my life, it's pretty dead on.
