Were my wishes granted?
There’s this wish list I wrote last
February, and I declared that I would revisit it six months after.
While it’s long overdue - hey, nobody’s
a perfect mathematician! - I am going to revisit it (written in italics) and see whether
or not they have been achieved.
I want our politicians to stop being
so obnoxiously stupid and every once in a while start doing
something that benefits mankind.
Don’t worry – they’re still
obnoxious. Some of them needs to be strapped on a rocketship and blasted
to the sun.
I want to have a moment when I can
be selfish. I’m tired of being tied at my "assumed by others"
responsibilities that I always have to serve others and live up to
their expectations. I love serving others, but I don’t get why people
see that it should be coupled with "pleasing others" as
well.
One of horror
movies’ most hackneyed tagline is: be careful what you wish for.
These days I’ve pretty much been selfish. I now want to start serving
other people again.
I want to go to New York again and
watch a broadway musical.
Sigh…
I want to watch a Jazz Concert in
New York. Sonny Rollins most preferred.
Double sigh…
I want to watch a show in Carnegie
Hall.
Argh!
I want the MTV to start playing
actual music and the radio to stop patronizing overwhelmingly bad
mainstream music. And I want MYMP to start singing something that’s
not a complete (and bastardized) imitation of yesterday’s love songs.
I haven’t heard
much of MYMP these days, but MTV still plays, you know, meh music.
I want to innovate a way where I can
grow wings on my back so I can fly anywhere I want without having to
worry about the freakin’ passport and visa.
It’s still
undergoing research. 
I want all my family to spend a day
together. All five of them, including myself.
It’s a wish
granted, although the method was very undesirable.
I want a world where a man’s worth
is not based on his hue, clothes and haircut. For what it’s worth,
it’s mostly people in suits that brings anarchy by abusing
capitalism.
Racism has reduced
over time, but it’s not yet become extirpated. So, wish not granted
yet.
I want people to see that you don’t
need boozes, X, cars, and money to be happy. And smite me, because my
next want is…
Not exactly my very
own wishes, but people are still as superficial as ever before. Haha!
I want an iPOD, a Digicam, and a
Videocam.
I got an iPod, and
it’s the best gift I’ve ever received!
I want to let someone realize that
there’s no greater love to be found than the one I can offer to her.
Dude, I’m not even
sure who you’re talking about!
I want to have more energy.
It’s getting
better.
I want to pass GRE.
Still haven’t taken
the test.
I want to have just one day where I
can act bad without a dent in my reputation. That way, I can smack in
the face all the people I can’t stand. That’s like, two of them.
I stopped wanting
to smack other’s faces. I’ve practiced kicking.
I want to have an everything book:
that by reading it, all you ever need to know about everything will
be given to you. Then I’ll still keep quiet and giggle in silence
whenever a know-it-all tries to sound scholarly to curtail his real
lack of knowledge on everything.
Heh, I keep making
impossible wishes. But no, I haven’t found the book.
I can’t stand phonies, so I want
them to get their ass out of my life.
They still haven’t.
I want to have an afro ‘do.
Seriously! Then again, conservatives would ostracize me if I ever do
that.
I was never serious
about this wish. Haha! Although dreadlocks don’t sound so bad.
I want conservatives to stop having such a skewed perspective.
It pays to be liberal-minded over certain issues.
Unfortunately, they’re as pontificating
as ever. They’re still as prone as ever to indulging in moral
grandstanding and slamming bible quotes to preach about the sins of
others.
