What is your goal in life?

To remember to count my blessings every single day. So far, life has been pretty good to me.
Reading this again, I like the Burrito Parlor, but change it to a cigar shop. I always have this reoccurring dream, that I walk down these long stairs into this small, unadvertised, underground cigar shop and there is never anybody around but me. It is a very peaceful dream.

If you live up here in Canuckland, you know this is the goal of life.
Now that it appears that my life as a semi-pro bass player is over, it has taken some time, but I've reached my calling. The French have a word for it: Flaneur. My preferred definition, thanks mr wiki:
"Traditionally depicted as male, a flâneur is an ambivalent figure of urban affluence and modernity, representing the ability to wander detached from society, for an entertainment from the observation of the urban life."
With less pomposity: I like to walk and look at things. At home, I walk about 4 miles a day. When I'm in New York City (where I am right at this moment) I'll walk 15-20 miles, easy. It's a pleasant life, and yes I know I am incredibly lucky to be able to live it.

The main problem is it is getting very difficult to find good help to serve others in restaurants.
Calm down. You're a bass player.To crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentations of their women.

When I lay down I give thanks for another day. When I rise I give thanks for another chance. God takes care of everything else.
My goal in life is to be possessed of the same grace in hard times as I am in good times, and to end each day with more hope than regret. Something I am finding ever more difficult these days.

Gene Simmons was once asked what he would choose if he could have as much as he wanted: money, power, or sex. He correctly said "money, because if you have that you can get the other two". So yeah, I want money. Money, money, money. I want a mountain of money so huge that I have to build a spaceship shaped like my phallus to see it all. This is the American Dream of the 21st century.

That was in an interview with Gene in Bass Player, wasn't it? I recall all sorts of eye-popping comments from him in that.
