My misquoted ramblings.

I want to do something.
Something I love.
Writing, watching movies, construction in Cherokee, playing Rock Band with the crew, GeoCaching, whatever.
And I want to just do it.
Now.
Forever.

I'm watching the Olympics and I'm thinking about Opening Ceremonies for OM. I'm thinking about what it means to represent your state, your country. About why I got the honor of carrying my state's flag in an international procession. About why I have a jacket and shirt from Hong Kong China. How I know, or at least talked to, people from there. I have friends in Germany. I spent this last week with two great girls from Tennessee. I talked to someone from every state or country I have an OM pin from. I have shaken hands with a man I owe so much for. I have gotten an A in a college level class during high school. I was one of six youth representatives at Annual Conference. I have played Boe's drum in front of two thousand people at said Conference. I went on a stage and introduced Starfield to nearly five thousand people with my pal Bethany. I have been asked to to preach to my church congregation and I've done it several times. I spoke at a friend's church about something I'm passionate about.

I want to collect flags.
I want to travel.
I want to ride a motorcycle.
I want to go to the 2016 Olympic Games in Chicago, or Madrid, or Tokyo, or Rio de Janero.
I want a medal from Worlds after I build up a team from my college.
I want to do something worthwhile.
I want to save someone.
I want to shoot a gun and learn archery.
I want to live in Rome.
I want to go to Greece, learn Latin, and engross myself in that mythology.
I want to become an expert on something and learn something about everything.
I want to read a book, I want to watch Lord of the Rings.
I want it all.
Now.
Forever.
