posed this question on Facebook and got some interesting reply's, thought i would try it here,

This question isn't specific to politics, global economics, or personal life but can include any of the above.



when you look at the next 5 -10 years of your life, are you excited? are you looking forward to it? is something big in the works? or just 5-10 more years of the same? things looking worse?

Doom and gloom seems to be a big selling point right now, but i think things are looking good. I hope that people are willing to change to make sure the future stays bright, though.

[Pro_Street_Vega]

I am looking forward to Obama losing the election so things can gedt better. (Actually that was placed here just for Porch).

I am looking forward to new and exciting things. I have 4 years before I can "retire". I won't actually retire, but I will begin drawing a pension so I can do some other things. I considered just staying home and rebuilding the Vega, it needs it. But I imagine I'll leave NM and get a job as a Chief of Police somewhere. I recently applied for a job in Angel Fire and am one of 4 finalists. I believe that would be a great place to live and raise my 3 year old daughter. If it works out as good as I would like, I will probably work there 7 or more years to bump up said pension.

I have always looked to the future, and it has paid off. I have planned and planned and saved to the point that I will be set up for the rest of my life. Not talking about money so much as freedom from debt, steady income, education, family life, etc.

The future is bright!

I am definatly looking forward to the future.

i dont give a shit about politics, the economy, or any of that as far as my outlook on my future. My kids along give me more than enough reason to be excited for the next 40 years.

I am also happy with my career, and also where my wife is in her education etc. so there are defiantly good things to come.

there is no one big event or change to keep me motivated, just the fact that even with adversity, things always improve one way or another.

My kids alone give me more than enough reason to be excited for the next 40 years.

That's a big one right there, especially for a man in his 30s. This is the time you're supposed to be spawning.

[BRudda*Termite]

Generally looking forward to the future, should be exhilarating. However, exhilarating can encompass a lot of things. This is a precarious time for the globe...

[cloud81918]

My personal life? Yeah, I'm excited about the future. Right now I'm probably the least certain where I'm going career-wise and car-wise. At the same time we are adding another mouth to the family and my son is leaving the fun stage and getting into the really fun stage (Read: big enough for a go-cart). I have some aggravations with some things around me, but they are nothing that money and time can't solve and really with no time limit on them, what is the rush?

I'm not excited about Turd Sandwitch or Douchbag and the upcoming election. I think either one of them will fuck up. Obama will probably try to push things through that will negatively effect rights I enjoy in an attempt to produce safety. Romney will probably allow corporations to mouth rape us, give away our natural resources and will slow the socially progressive movements that I have supported. I'd like to like Romney and I actually do like the one before he ran for the nomination. But sort of like that girl you had a crush on in middle school; You sort of lose interest if she becomes a slut so she can be popular in high school.

[The ///Man]

I am looking forward to getting everything in good enough order to get the fuck out of the US and take myself and my beer money somewhere with a beach.

[MediumD]

Yep, I look forward to the future. I talk a lot of shit on teh internets, I may be a hate machine/etc, but I'm an optimist (with a heavy dose of realism for good measure.)

my age i'm happy just to wake up tommorow

I'm 24, and so am I. I can't yet afford to have my head frozen in a jar when I die, so I better wake up tomorrow.

I'd like to like Romney and I actually do like the one before he ran for the nomination. But sort of like that girl you had a crush on in middle school; You sort of lose interest if she becomes a slut so she can be popular in high school.

Love the analogy there.

I cannot wait for the future, I am starting to build a family and cannot wait for all that lies ahead.

This!
