i realized this morning i am not an astronaut.

as a kid, when asked what i was going to be when i grew up, i always claimed astronaut (except for a week when i was five and i really wanted to be a milk man).

anyway, never once did i say graphic designer. where did i get off track and how come i didn't notice i was off track till now? when did i settle for all this mediocrity. all the sudden i am flooded with childhood memories of incomplete plans i was making for adulthood.

i don't have a house with a drawbridge and moat.

i don't eat twinkies for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

i don't have a fireman's pole in my house.

i don't have a retractable moon roof above my bed.

i don't wear a yellow jump suit with lots of pockets.

i didn't marry i dream of jeannie.

i don't have a secret hole in my backyard that leads to china.

i don't have a chocolate cow producing chocolate milk.

i don't don't have a smoking pet monkey wearing a fez hat on his hea... er, forget that one.

so, where did my life go so terribly wrong? perhaps i am not too far off track, i do have an astronauts hair cut. know where i can get a good deal on a used space suit?
