I've got a pocket full of holes, my head in the clouds... I'm the king of fools
You got a ribbon of rainbows and the sun in your eyes shinning through...
This is my urban fantasy...
I want to live in a hotel. Wouldn't that be great? You don't have to worry about cleaning anything because the housekeeping staff takes care of it... they vaccuum... they do your bathroom... they make your bed... you might even find a mint on your pillow... you come home late afternoon, drop your things and head to the indoor heated pool, or the sauna, or the exercise room, or the cocktail lounge... you want a cold soda in the middle of the night?... there's a machine down the hall... it's a great life... and your "house" doesn't have to be small if you live in a three bedroom suite...
I also want to own a video and music super store... with a kick ass selection of foreign, independent and art movies... and an out of this world CD and music DVD catalogue... Also, I want to own a Barnes & Nobles super bookstore and a bar. And a radio station... I would take the Sunday morning shift... Sunday Brunch with the Dude... the Dude being my new radio personna... and sometimes on Friday or Saturday evenings we would broadcast live from my bar... the Scroll Bar...
So if I'm dreaming don't wake me tonight.
If this is all wrong, I don't want it right.
However... this is my actual plan:
I want to enter a PhD program in the states... probably at UIUC, but any place would do (I'd make a deal with the devil to get into UHM)... after that, I'd like to stay on as an Assistant Professor on tenure track... maybe teach one or two courses at a Master's level.... and conduct action and classroom research... publish, attend conferences, get research grants, get tenured... dedicate the rest of my life to purely intellectual work... in a campus environment. That is what I see myself doing very soon.
And probably... I'll take a couple of broadcasting courses, then get a sunday morning hourly job at the campus radio station... Also, I'll probably attend more "faces of God" seminars, re-kindle my Italian and Portuguese... maybe learn French and German... and finally take photography seriously...
Well, there must be some kind of mistake to fall in love with me.
Well, you've gotta be out of your mind - crazy crazy
