I'm a simple man with simple tastes. I don't have great expectations, and I'm not about to ask for the sun, the moon, or the stars. Nonetheless, this declaration should by no means be taken as an indication that I'm willing to settle- far from it. In fact, there are things I'm hoping to see before I shuffle off my mortal coil and get dragged out the door feet-first. The fact that I will never see some of these in my lifetime doesn't rob me of hope. Life is full of surprises, no?
What follows is a (partial, by no means exhaustive) list that will grow and change as the future unfolds. Feel free to chime in with your own suggestions.
Without further ado, then:
World peace.
A cure for HIV/AIDS, cancer, and all other debilitating and/or fatal diseases that rob us of loved ones and our loved ones of their vitality.
Rush Limbaugh managing a Dairy Queen in West Bumfuck, TX.
The Minnesota Vikings and Houston Texans win a Super Bowl...hopefully several.
The Green Bay Packers broken up and sold for scrap.
Our Glorious and Benevolent Leader © and Vice President Torquemada © wearing matching orange prison jumpsuits.
Terrell Owens having to actually work for a living.
Keith Olbermann clubbing Bill O'Reilly like a baby seal.
Campbell Brown naked.
Texans realizing that they don't in fact reside in "God's country".
Fox News Channel going out of business because the Macrame Channel draws more viewers.
Rick Warren being discovered in flagrante delicto with the Oakland Raiders defensive backfield. Hypocrisy has a way of exposing itself.
This is, of course, but a start. The list will no doubt continue to grow as time marches inexorably onward. Stay tuned....
