Every day, it seems less and less likely that I will suddenly be surprised by a mysterious voice booming out of nowhere that unleashing a powerful gust of wind that throws open my bedroom window, and gives me a pair of earrings that control holograms that enable me to start a rock band.
I tire of following a clear path in life to the proper end point. I want to be walking down the street, and have a handsome billionaire fall in love with me immediately. Not for want of a handsome billionaire, but because it would be a non-threatening pleasing anomaly creating new and exciting possibilities.
Life is go to school, get job, do same thing day in and day out, until you at some point, no longer do that job. None of my jobs ever involve anything unexpected that would entertain me, such as, while in the middle of going through paperwork on my desk- having my boss rush over and tell me I need to design and bake a 5 layer cake immediately. Again, I don't want to design a 5 layer cake, I just want something entirely different from the thing I have to keep doing repeatedly.
Alas, I won't be working out at the gym, and then suddenly be told I have an opportunity to become the lead star in a multimillion dollar swashbuckling pirate motion picture epic.
These are the kinds of things that my mind wants. This is why I find everyday life so boring.
If you need me, I'll be over here, in Delusionland.
