Bob Dylan's Dream

While riding on a train goin’ west
I fell asleep for to take my rest
I dreamed a dream that made me sad
Concerning myself and the first few friends I had

With half-damp eyes I stared to the room
Where my friends and I spent many an afternoon
Where we together weathered many a storm
Laughin’ and singin’ till the early hours of the morn

By the old wooden stove where our hats was hung
Our words were told, our songs were sung
Where we longed for nothin’ and were quite satisfied
Talkin’ and a-jokin’ about the world outside

With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
We thought we could sit forever in fun
But our chances really was a million to one

As easy it was to tell black from white
It was all that easy to tell wrong from right
And our choices were few and the thought never hit
That the one road we traveled would ever shatter and split

How many a year has passed and gone
And many a gamble has been lost and won
And many a road taken by many a friend
And each one I’ve never seen again

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
That we could sit simply in that room again
Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat
I’d give it all gladly if our lives could be like that
 
I really hope I just survive this summer. I'll be working from 6pm to 6am 5 days a week, and taking a class at noon at the community college. That will only last a month and a half, though. But I'm going to burnt out. Hopefully my parents send me away on a trip at the end of summer before my last year starts.

Hope you get the trip somewhere. Too young to get burned out on this stuff. May be worth it down the road but what will you sacrifice that you may regret later?
 
When you get a chance, check out the Bob Dylan tune I just put in the What are you listening to thread. It's for you.....so listen.

I really enjoyed that. I need to take advantage of my youth and the opportunities I have while they are still around. Thank you, sir.

A lot of my friends are going to be gone for the summer. It's getting down to that time. My best bud is playing summer ball in the Ohio Valley Conference. Since high school, he has made me promise that I'll be his agent when he gets drafted. I don't know **** about money or contracts!!!!!

You do need to. I always liked that song, but never paid as much attention to it as I should have when I was younger. Now, I fight back a tear or two when I listen.

Partner up with Nerd. Maybe you guys can start a money making agency for sports.
 
I'm looking forward to the next stage of my life, but once I am there, I am for sure that I will look back on these days with some regret. I'm had some fun this semester, but my first couple of years were pretty bland.

Honestly, I would love it and would probably be good at it with some education. But it's so different than everything I've studied for haha.

My mom really wants me to get at least a minor in business, which is 18 hours/one semester, I think. Then the next day she's onto me for how much school costs, making me feel guilty. I really ****ed up by losing my scholarships. Really ****ed it up.

I would, at the least, minor in business. There's a lot to learn that can help you shape your life dealing with decisions. It's a good fall back for management positions should you ever seek one.

That's in the past bro. Gotta pay attention to the road in front of you, work on your dreams like your hairs on fire and know you ain't ever gonna get any days back.

I'm already graduating with the criminal justice and clinical psychology majors, and a sociology minor. That would be another semester for a minor, or 1 1/2 for a major. I am tired of school :(

It would make it a lot easier to do that if I wasn't reminded of it about every weekend haha. But sound words. Just gotta learn how to start putting this advice into practice.
 
I'm thinking more and more that I should just bypass the secret service route. I don't want to be a doctor for nothing, and I'm passing up a lot of money and time with my future family by doing that for 20 years.
 
I really just want to do it to prove it to myself that I can. That I was tough enough, smart enough, talented enough. That type of lifestyle would be fun, but I don't think it would be fun for that long.
 
You need to spend some time with yourself and figure out what you would like to do for the rest of your life that would be fun for you. If it's fun, you're not really workin'. If it's not, you'll soon regret every day you spend doing whatever it is you've chosen.

I would enjoy both, but when I take my family into account, one choice definitely stands above the other. I don't know. I've always wanted the thrill, though. I've always wanted to do something that would challenge me that way.

To fund the type of lifestyle I'd like and like to give my kids, should definitely just open a practice. But money isn't everything.
