JRK's small (relatively speaking) wish list

From the desk of Jeffrey R. Kuntzelman aka "Admiral Blind Man" ©2019

I'm just going on record....

It'd be nice to win even a small amount of money.  Like, say, $100k.  I mean, I'm not greedy.  I just don't enjoy being broke most of the time.  I don't think I'm even that bad asking the universe for a little help.  You know?  I just want to make enough to get by while having a little extra to go do the things I would like to do with friends.  Or even certain family relatives.  Or both, in some cases.

That doesn't make me a bad person, does it?  Just enough money to go out & do what I love for a living, make enough money to have some fun, and have a little extra to have some fun with friends & some family members/relatives. 

And no, I'm not even considering stealing the money.  I want to either make it legally with steady gigs (once I'm proficient enough), or win it legally.  Either way, I just want enough to live comfortably.  You know?  Enough to pay bills, and have enough left to go do some fun stuff with friends from time to time.  Like mini-golf games, bowling, or hittin' up a movie or two.  Just so I'm not stuck at home on any given Friday night or any weekend day's night. 

Is that a lot to ask?  I don't think it is, but I've been known to be wrong.

I guess what I want, in no particular order I suppose is....

1. Have enough money to pay off my bills, both past, and present bills, i.e. the usual stuff like rent, electricity, cable, and phone, but also stuff that is still outstanding like all of my hospital stays, ambulance rides, etc.  Pretty sure that plus a bunch of other stuff now totals over $25k.

2) After paying off all those bills, having enough left over to go do some fun stuff with a friend or two (Tom, Shannon, even my friend Jamie and/or my friend Chris from Las Vegas) like going on a road trip or something to the east coast would be fucking awesome.

3. Eventually finding my future Ms. Right.  The woman of my dreams.  Well, not that I dream about her specifically, so it's not like I have a specific person in mind, but basically a woman who likes doing a lot of the same stuff I like to do like play video games, play some music (playing guitar, piano, or the drums would be a total plus, and if she's a PC phan, that's even better)!  A woman who is super smart, compassionate, & understands that my picky eating habits are NOT within my control.  Period.  Somebody I could spend hours talking to, and then if we happen to have a day of no talking to each other, we have that kind of time off, and then when we start talking again, it's like we can pick up where we left off without missing a beat.  As my friend Jamie Thomas once put it, somebody who would leave me alone most of the time, but would at least check in on me every once in a while for supoort, or if I needed something, i.e. rides to my doctors, maybe even accompany me to those doctor visits, and be taking notes so I don't forget anything.  And, of course, I would do the same for her.

4. If this woman, this Ms. Right (possibly a future Mrs. "Right"-Kuntzelman" if she does exist, I would hope she doesn't let me ever give up on my dreams, doesn't let me give up on my music, and certainly doesn't let me give up on my writing either.  In exchange, I'd do all I can to support her efforts in whatever it may be to her liking.  Maybe she also shares an interest in writing, either in general fiction or does some songwriting too.  Maybe she's a musician as well, and can complement my playing piano or the drums, or maybe we both are learning to play guitar.  Either way, it'd be really awesome to strike some good luck playing with women.  No, not all women are timid or introverted.  But the ones who are just need someone as introverted as they are to bring out their musical talents.  Let's make music together!

5. I want to "be noticed", but not like for big projects.  I mean, I can do audio-video editing a little bit, I've dabbled in it, but it would be nice for someone to say, "You know, you do some really good work there, but I'll bet I could teach you a few things that will make your work GREAT!" & help tutor me on the finer things in audio/video editing.

6.  But mainly just to be able to go out & not feel so.... trapped.  Either because of the weather, or because I'm broke & the account is on empty, almost like my gas tank at the moment.

7. Which brings me to another point.  I want to be able to own a vehicle that is new enough that I don't have to worry about using blind spot mirrors since it has blind spot sensors to detect idiots that I can't see over my left shoulder, but I don't think I could say "No" to a new Camaro, or a Dodge Challenger.  Except for the winter, then I'd want either a Dodge or a Chevrolet truck.  Nothing big, but something that can tell Old Man Winter to fuck off if I had to go somewhere, like to go get mom if she needed help getting out to go get her stuff done, you know?

I really don't think I'm being greedy.  I think everything I just listed off is within reach as long as I stay true to my academic goals.  Perhaps, in time, I'll get there all on my own.  But I wouldn't say "No" to a little help along the way.  Especially when it comes to performing some of my favorite songs on either piano, guitar, or (yes, of course) the left-handed setup on the drums!  Or a right handed setup depending on the song. 

But again, I wouldn't say "No" to a little help along the way. 

LLAP! ⒿⓇⓀ✌
