I vaguely recalled having wanted to run a supermarket when I was a kid. Guess I was just entralled by the fact that there were so many things there, and even back then, it was sorta obvious that I was a true blue capitalist. Not to mention all the delicious toys in the kiddies section.
Later on, I decided I'd prefer to run a department store, cuz people always seemed to spend a ton of cash there on absurd things, that to my mind, would not cost more than a fraction of what they were paying (guess I'm right).
Sooner or later, I suppose in my teens, I'd grown power hungry. This is the time most of you would remember, where I'm sure I'd either become insanely rich, or insanely powerful AND rich. You'd likely recall the I'll-rule-the-world-because-I-can-mooharharharhar. And believe me, I had plans all drawn up.
That sort of thing sorta came to an end for awhile during the seriously warped period (December 2004 - March2005). It was the first time I actually recall being hormonally driven. Yeah, that sort of hormonally driven. Most plans for complete world domination took a backseat, and although I kept the ruse up, I'd more or less spent quite a bit of time being depressed and all that shit. Also, I realised the financial implications of trying to run the world, and decided that my 17 bucks a week allowance would never cover the expenses.
After that interesting period, in which I determined it would be easier to do things randomly (which turns out I've been unconciously doing all along anyway), I sorta got attached to someone. That put the whole political thing out of head, out of mind, out of sight. There's a small difference between unrequited fawning, and a true pairing; that difference being the moping, the near suicidal ramblings, the joining-of-support-groups-of-like-situationed-friends-who-really-have-no-fucking-reason-to-be-fucking-depressed-because-my-problems-are-way-bigger, and also a greater monetary committment, the final point being the murder of total world domination itinerary. It was a worthy tradeoff.
About half a year later, when it sorta passed that stage, I confirmedly took on the political view of they-can-fucking-do-what-they-like-as-long-as-they-don't-fucking-piss-me-off. It allowed the retarded elected officials and even more retarded voters to do anything they wanted, as long as they didn't interfere with my still-childlike bliss.
That political stance expanded to include social interactions, where I'd confirmed the sexual orientations of quite a few many long-time friends (why did everyone choose the same fucking time to come out in the open?); that being if it didn't hurt my ass, go ahead and do what you like.
Upon serious pondering, it's obvious that I've always been like this. I've never really been as conniving, sneaky, backstabbing, eville, as I thought I was. I was particularly, and still am, as naive as I was ever, albeit with more wisdom (I think) of how things work. In a way, I'm a childlike politician. I don't really care what other people do as long as they don't touch my playthings.
To fully understand the simple complexity of this, I should probably state that I'm writing this because I'm sitting in the computer lab waiting for stupid people to come in.
Meh.
