Number 2: What do you want to do?

I want to dream. I want to dream and be crazy enough to believe it can happen.

I want to make people sing. I want to write songs that awaken something in someone. Even if its just one someone. I want to write a song that people hear and feel like they could have written because they've felt the same way.

I want to love. Hopelessly. Because I can't help it.

I want a free Irish Creme Latte every day.

I want to be angry. Beautifully angry. The kind of angry that moves me to action.

I want to tell people that there is hope.

I want to write. I want to write because one time I read The Catcher in the Rye and it moved me. It took me to a different place. I would sit for hours and pretend that Holden Caulfield was real. I want to give people a way to escape reality and at the same time help them to deal with reality. I want to write because there's not enough room in my head for all this stuff.

I want to have The National playing in some part of my brain most if not all of the time.

I want to get married.

I want to be able to feed her with the lights on.

I want to live on a stage, I want to play my guitar, and I want to get paid...or I just want to listen to The Snake, The Cross, The Crown. Either one.

I want to bring heaven to earth.

I want to adopt a child.

I want to be evidence of God's glory.

I want to be in good shape at 35.

But I'll settle for ok shape at 30.

I want to make an impact.

I want to graduate college...really I do.

I want to be a good Dad.

I want to be there when God heals people, redeems people, rescues people.

But I don't really know what I want to do exactly.

What do you want to do?
