**Holden MacRoyne!** I know your brothers, Pat and Rubbin.

I have only one long term goal: I want to go #1 in _Billboard._ Sure it’s far-fetched, but I believe in aiming high.

Okay, here’s the list, both short-term and long-term:

-Build my new screamin’ computer (parts due on Wednesday).  
-Learn Gaelic.  
-Using nanotech, create self-replicating robots (containing copies of my consciousness), which I will then seed throughout the universe. I intend to take over the universe, by dint of being the most represented sentience. If I have my way, no other civilization will ever have to worry about the Fermi paradox. Obviously, this is grouped into the “Very Long-term Goals” category.  
-Open a B&B on Cozumel Island, and use a satellite internet connection to continue to do contract computer art work on the side.  
-Finally build and patent my computer chassis idea.  
-Clone my dog, Flash.

In no particular order:

–become supreme dictator of the world  
–win the Nobel Prize for literature  
–get out of debt  
–buy and furnish huge houses in a mountain, beach, and country location in different parts of the world  
–learn how to make furniture  
–do a road trip across the US  
–travel to Europe, South Africa, and Asia  
–travel back to the planet %&(-\* where I’m originally from. Observing and interacting with humans is really interesting at times, but I really miss my home.
