Various Assertions for Today

wwcitizenFor some reason, I felt the need to post this today. Nothing in particular sparked this list and they might not have anything to do with each other (especially the last bit), but these ideas were simply on my mind.
1) I cannot stand it that people are now stuck in the Facebook world instead of reading a book, listening to music, doing crafts, or being creative in whatever capacity (outside of work). I'm just as guilty as the next guy or girl. I've been trying to stay away from FB more and more. Sadly, I'm still working a farm and an island, but I choose things that will keep me away for at least 3-4 days, so that I can do other things without feeling driven to get on FB. My ploy to myself is that eventually, I'll not plant anything more and just not return to the farm or the island. I even went to the point of "rescuing my two dogs from the pound". I, then, promptly deleted the dogs, so that I wouldn't get email notifications warning that I had to rescue them from the pound. Idiotic game.
2) I never want to be a person who is content or stagnantly complacent in his current status that I'll never change or grow.
3) I hope I never balk at others who find happiness and excitement in change, very diverse jobs, or a lack of desire to be part of the norm.
4) Right now, I'm delving into so many different ventures and adventures thinking, "Is this going to make any impact or put me where I want to be in 5-10 years?" I'm really channeling my father when posing that question to myself, which is unfair to me because that's not my desire for myself; it's someone else's. I want to jettison that attitude and make sure that I'm doing what I want to do. I really do not think that I'll be one of those people who looks forward to proper retirement.
5) I never want to be a person who doesn't listen. I hope my loved ones (friends and family) call me out when I'm not listening and that I'll react appropriately to listen - not necessarily agree, but listen.
6) I love lounge and world trance music. When I hear it, I picture myself with friends in a 50s-style room with a disco ball overhead. I'm sipping a martini and chatting with friends.
