Somebody asked me today where I wanted to be and what I wanted to be doing in a years' time. I can honestly say for the first time in my life I have absolutely no idea and for a moment I worried slightly about that. But then it occurred to me that everything else in my life has happened regardless of where I wanted to be previously, and I wouldn't change a bit of it.
We spend far too much of our lives planning what we want to happen, rather than enjoying what is happening now. If we have a predetermined idea about what we want, we could be ignoring things that come our way that don't "fit" that plan. Somebody once said (It was Steven Tyler actually, I just remembered... but come to think of it they probably weren't originally his words - Oh get to the damn point Adam!) "Life's journey, not a destination". Wise words indeed, although he did also say "Pink is my favourite CRAYON!!!" so there's a chance it could just be the years of eight-ball abuse talking, mmm.
Anyway, the argument isn't whether ole big lips (Fave Aerosmith line - "Don't give me no lip, I got enough of my own" aha!) is some kind of prophet, it's whether the whole "Life's a journey" thing was right or not, and I think it was. So from this point on, take a look at what's around you now and enjoy the crap out of it. Go and show your family you love them, spend quality time with them. Make contact with every friend you have and love them for who they are. Everything else is just a distraction to your life...
So in answer to that original question - I just don't know, or care. If I did it would spoil every minute of getting there.
