I have a dream.
In a year, I’m going to be selling my comic book worldwide from a website.
The comic book, a science-fiction adventure, will be available in Esperanto and English, and in as many other languages as I can find willing translators for. T-shirts and other merchandise will be available as well, via CafePress.
In July 2003 I will be going to a convention in Goteburg, Sweden to (among other things) promote the book.
As word of the comic book spreads across the net, I will create a prequel and sell that as well (I aleady have the kernel of the story idea).
The comic books will serve as a kind of advertising to ease the next part of my dream: getting a new job.
I’m still working out what that job might be, but the dream is simply to be paid significantly more money than I am now, to create my artwork: to design fictional worlds and the histories, cultures, and artifacts that would populate them.
So far, screenwriting is a definite possibility.
At the same time, to increase my flexibility and endurance for this new job, I will be significantly more fit. I have been in an exercise program for the past three months, and am already seeing and feeling positive changes. Within a year I should have lost my flab, gained a lot of energy, and be more confident and more attractive. Hell, I might even be able to score a place in an SDMB flirt thread!
All of this will prepare me for phase three, and the real dream: finding a Significant Other. Maybe I can impress a Swedish Doper… 
Yes, I have dreams. And I’m working to achieve them.
