the meaning of life

i used to think that relationships were the "meaning of life" but now i think perhaps it could be the experiences. i do not mean the daily experiences, but the adventures and life changing experiences.

wish list

why am i so motivated at work to do bigger and greater things in my life, but then lose that motivation to act once i get home? is it because i am tired from a hard days work, or am i just imagining things i'd rather be doing besides working?

wish list - update:

• take EMT-Basic course - contacted two instruction centers in Prov. both courses start in early september, when my parents are coming out to visit. havent decided if i should enroll now, or wait til next semester. i hate to keep putting it off, but i need that time with the parents, who are flying across the country for the first time in their lives

• take a photography class - looked up potential courses offered in RI, found nothing as of yet, reading digital photography book that i borrowed from David

• travel to south africa - will happen during world cup 2010

• learn how to play the piano - looked at potential keyboards/pianos and emailed a music center

• get on a sailing crew
  

• plan "the trip"
