"I had this dream to become an movies star." I am so sick of hearing people saying such things. "Ever since I was a kid I thought that's what I will become." Remember Ellen in this year's Oscars - "I always wanted to host the Oscars." You guys - give me a break, will you.
If only people could reach to where they are just by taking a flight in their dreams. Dreams are not enough. I had a dream - of becoming a mango. I ran and ran and ran -- more than I ever thought I would. Yup! Trust me. And guess what? I turned to be an "apple". Should I say now - I wanted to be an apple? Liar. Seriously, I am tired of hearing this. If only life ran according to the - ever-since-I-was-a-kid-I-had-a-dream way. Loads of BS that at best drives me nuts in mae of giving some vicarious pleasure.
Yes, I may have fallen over the cliff and have become cynical. Maybe as some might think that I simply don't "get it" and still don't get it. Fair enough. Here's the truth. I never had dreams. I did loads of daydreaming bunch of them, and I still do. But to imagine that they will become reality - boy, let's not kid myself here. I do hope something somewhere somehow I'll get close. Hope is much more abstract than my tangible daydreams. Daydreams like: driving at 55 mph during the rush hour in the Beltway. Singing along with the Stones to rock the world. Getting a seat in the ariplane next to sexy girl. Writing something and seeing The New Yorkers and Vanity Fairs running behind me. Whoa!
What I have become and where my life is headed -- I don't have a clue. How I have arrived at this point -- I don't know how it happened. Merely a series of random accidents. I can't retrtace my steps. I can't find my back. I have no control of how things happen. I don't know what things will be thrown at me in future. All I do is hope that I can duck, may be swing myself, and deflect it in a way that's not that bad for me. For now, I can dream that I can always go for hitting out of fence.
