I wanted to be financially successful, but not in any spotlight.

I wanted to be a farmer.

I wanted to be a pediatrician but by the time I decided to go to college it really wasn't doable so I chose nursing. I don't regret my decision one bit.

And let me just say, if I had really really really wanted I could have pushed and become a doctor. And at the time I went to college I wanted a job that I knew would always have openings and a steady stream of work. So I went into a field that I wanted to be in just in another capacity.

 Yes, I completely understand.  Way too many skeletons in my closet for politics.

 Yep, that as a kid, it was a generic name for the people that pick up the garbage. And I didn't know any women that had the job, I was going to be he first one.

my dad owned the trash company. I just figured, I was going to work for him. When he sold the business when I was in 8th grade I truely didn't know what I was supposed to do with my future. I'd never thought about it.

 People are surprised at just how much an average trash man makes.  They make a lot more than people think.  Plus, if you work in a really nice neighborhood rich people throw out some nice chit!  No lie.  I've known a couple trash guys!

I wanted Hugh Hefners job, or to live in a van down by the river.

I also wanted to retire by 40.

0 for 3.

For a while, a friend and I seriously planned on moving to Florida, Daytona or Panama City Beach, and running a hot dog stand on or as near to the beach as we could get.

We would have, too. But we always seemed to drink or smoke the funds away.

wanted to be a fighter jock like my uncle--my father flew bombers--at the time, required eyesight of 20/20 or better--uncorrected--no lasik then, etc--fulfilled every other requirement but lacked ( and lack ) the eyesight

along the way have realized many dreams/adventures and managed to survive this far--my lady found me and made everything else sort of move into the background--marrying her was the most important thing i've ever done in this life--she is all that really matters to me--we're happy and have been for a long time

 True.

Does the van have tear drop windows and a mystical castle scene on the side? Wall to wall shaggy carpeting and a disco ball over a red velvet covered waterbed?

 Exactly, except it would be led Zeppelin stairway to heaven on the side.

My SS wants to write a book when he grows up. He tells me in his journal. We journal to each other. Chef gave me the idea. We have a notebook and we write each other in it. He's told me all about his life. He wants to be a video game programmer and then also write a book.
