21 September 2005

What do you wish you could do? I wish I could control my temper sometimes. I wish I could trust that things will work out.
I wish i could control my moods...and my drinking...

I wish i could wave my hand and smite the pieces of shit controlling the world...

I wish I could grant Schyler523 wishes.

I wish I could express myself properly. I often get stuck mid-sentence. Drives me nuts.

I wish I could feel a little more urgent about my life - not such a slacker.

I wish I had more self discipline. I wish I was better with money and business. I wish I could stop procrastinating... and I will! Really! (Later.)
posted by taz 21 September | 12:08
Yeah, self discipline would be nice. Too many projects, too little motivation...

I wish I could get by on less than 8 hours of sleep a night.

I'm one of those people who must know every possible angle before making up my mind and I really wish I could just go with my gut sometimes. And be happy about it!

I wish I didn't always act upon that which my intuition tells me to act. It usually results in honesty that's too brutal.

I wish I could fly.

I wish I had the willpower to just suck it up and do the unplesant tasks I need to get done rather than spend the whole day procrasitnating around them

I wish I could sing like Aretha.

I wish I could rise above my own mediocrity, or at least learn to live with it. I also wish I could stop worrying so much.

I wish I could be prolific.

I wish I could stop thinking about my father's heart surgery today and whether my mother is coping well with all the stress.

I wish I could make it all better myself.
posted by Hugh Janus 21 September | 12:51
I hope everything goes well, HJ.

I wish I could have grand wishes, rather than just wishing for some serenity.

Hugh-My good wishes are also with you.
posted by omiewise 21 September | 12:59
Thanks guys, I really didn't mean to write that. I just can't seem to think of much else. See?

Early prognosis is fine, legal issues forbid the docs from updating even next-of-kin until all is said and done. Which seems crazy, but I understand why.

Tell that to my mom though, whew.
posted by Hugh Janus 21 September | 13:03
I wish I could dance.

(I went through a few more serious wishes, but all of them reveal more about my lonely life than I would strictly prefer. And, Hugh: Wishing, hoping everything's well.)
posted by box 21 September | 13:17
I wish I could dance... ("too" on preview)

Basically, I wish I could stop being so insanely self-conscious, which affects my enjoyment of things like playing a taiko drum when I'm abducted by festival drummers.

(and more good wishes to Hugh and family, and shit-smiting power to Schyler)

I wish I were more optimistic. I wish I were more trusting of people. I wish I knew what I wanted to accomplish in life. I wish I could convince the makers of beautiful shoes that tall girls have big feet.

I wish I could be completely happy and content all by myself, without continually looking to others for things that they can't deliver.
posted by Specklet 21 September | 13:51
I wish I could control my anger and be more at peace with myself and believe in myself.

I wish (or hope is a better word) to be a better husband this second time around (in less than a month!) and that I will be a good father (we're planning to have a child soon after).
posted by papercake 21 September | 13:56
And I wish I could sing. It doesn't even need to be well - just to be able to carry a tune. The worst thing is that I'm not tone deaf -- I can *hear* how bad I sound, but somehow can't connect the hearing it to the producing it.
posted by gaspode 21 September | 13:58
Good luck to Hugh & papercake--for entirely different reasons. Good luck to me--I'm off to try to begin the process of buying a condo (but it might fall through).
posted by dame 21 September | 14:14
I wish I had better self discipline - with it I could get my diabetes under control, lose weight, look for work. I wish I had a positive outlook on life. I wish I wasn't so fucking shy. I wish I had a better self-image.

Flying would be nice, so would being able to transform into a cat.

Good luck to both dame and Hugh.

I wish I could grant wishes.
posted by deborah 21 September | 14:25
Wow. All of the above. Except for the dancing, and the being-a-good-husband thing. Oh, and the optimism thing. (I'm perfectly happy with pessimism, thank you.)

Also, I wish I could stay more engaged with people.

Best of luck to your pops, Hugh.

I wish I knew if I WAS batshit insane.

I wish I weren't batshit insane... actually, the insane part is OK, just without the batshit.

I wish I could see the bright side of life.

Hell, I wish I could truly believe that the bright side of life exists.

I wish I was independently wealthy so I could stop looking for a job.
