Life is a journey. Such a cliché but so apt when you've spent your life living for a forthcoming reality. Living for your dreams is, well, very romantic and all but if you spend too much time "waiting for you life to begin" you wake up one day wondering who you are.

I've done this. Several times. I STILL do it. It sucks; it's a case of "displaced reality" syndrome.

One of my good friends once said that there are three kinds of people: future, past and present-oriented. I would confess that most of my life has been future-oriented.

You know how we used to come home after work/school and watch TV? We'd burn a good 2-3 hours a night on the thing. Eventually many of us would watch until the "vegetation" stage took over and the only remaining sign of life from us was the click of the remote control.

So, nothing's changed.
