I really enjoy eating. The flavours, textures etc.

I want to travel. Both to see the world (Peru and Machu Picchu/Inca Trail is my top priority atm) and to sample legitimate and genuine local cuisine, rather than westernized versions of them. I've been saving for a number of years and once I reach around £20k I'm going to do it. Plus maybe an extra 500 or so for a good camera. Would hate to go and then be unable to take good pictures.

I live in the most drab, monotonous suburb imaginable and my only friend lives far away. Work isn't just unsatisfying; it's stealing my humanity, draining the passion and zest out of me. I like traveling to lively, colorful places, populated with lively, colorful people, where new things happen and people still have gaits to their steps.

My life's actually not that bad. I just like traveling to give me new perspectives, to remind me of the many possible modes of living, of the endless potentialities there are for cities, etc. Sometimes, in my insular world, I begin to get tunnel vision and form reductive views of people and the world that are based solely on my experiences in this tiny suburb and on the internet. Only through travel am I reminded of the ginormous extent to which my culture influences my life.

Anime, the feeling of gain after training, learning about stuff, watching nature, getting to write down a really good line.

I want to do something that match my interests, thus I pretty much can't see myself as anything but a lector, theologian or priest (possibly all three). But in the case of the later I'd actually first have to choose a church, and I'd also be forced to go where the people needs me, so Hong Kong or Paris is hardly the center of the Byzantine rite, catholic or orthodox.

That's how you ensure your child grows up to be a pretentious liberal arts honky that nobody really likes. "Starting" him on Plato's Dialogues at 14 doesn't really ensure he'll understand it at all, and he'll probably grow to hate all philosophy since it's something imposed on him.

You could use those examples which are less nation-states and more tax havens for the wealthy and have miniscule populations of wealthy people (excluding Australia, I'm ignorant to that).

But then there are the huge and terrible examples of trade liberalization in the US, Eastern Bloc, and Southern America, all of which suffered a decline in median wages and employment in highly capitalized industries following the trade deficits which resulted from discarding trade protections.

>> No.4956603

The US is failing because of Socialism. The decision to nationalize the banks and reduce banker responsibility by not throwing them in prison when they go bankrupt was the worst ever made. The Eastern Bloc is also highly Socialist, as is South America, except Chile, which is incidentally the most successful South American nation. All around the world you see examples of how less state involvement leads to higher economic, and therefore social success.From Hong Kong to Somalia, from Botswana to Australia. The fact is: individuals pursuing their interests without coercion works.

Sorry if that sounded rude but all government intervention can't logically placed under the mantle of "socialistic". Do you agree?

Also I might add that the success stories of Hong Kong and Singapore probably have as much to do with their political economies as they do with their geographic situation and history as trading posts of the British empire, which, coincidentally, imbued them with the sense to pursue the sort of scheme of imperial trade which the British had practiced. Though Singapore and Hong Kong may have low taxes, they benefit from a broad tax base and put that to its best use by investing in energy and the infrastructure of their ports.

In other words, you can find any situation in the world where "Free Marketeering" is responsible for the good and "Socialism" is responsible for the bad, as long as you're prepared to reduce the laws of economics to two political ideologies.

I do not deny empires can improve their economic situation by reducing activity in economics, but that empire will never be as efficient as just ditching empires altogether.

First and foremost, milkshakes.

A nice brew, milk before tea, two sugars; no milk or sugar if I'm not at home since can't be bothered with those creamer things.

Setting down lines quite late at night, just before I go to bed and editing them in the morning. Also, composing in my head when I don't have any pen or paper and rushing back home to set it down.

Walking the cobbled roads and tiny streets/alleys in Old City.

Zooming by the greenery that lines most of my regional rail line.

Sprawled out on the carpet, listening to my vinyl collection through decent headphones and reading.

Having a cigarette while drinking.

Drinking.

Having 'Before Sunrise' interactions with girls.

Going to the Penn Archaeology Museum.

Running errands in overcast weather.

Looking out on the rolling hill the high school I attended sits on from the floor-to-ceiling window of my local library.

Perusing the used book stores and thrift shops in the area.

Unharried masturbation sessions.

I haven't decided what I want to do with my life. My moods have been very mercurial over 2014. One day Ill wake up and hate my job, another I like it; somedays I want to just move out in the middle of nowhere or to the wilderness and get away from everyone and sometimes I think about just packing up and moving to a new part of the country. I can't think of what mood I'll be in tomorrow, let alone 20 years from now. It's funny: I'm almost 30 and I'm more unsure about my future than when I was a kid

Simple pleasures? I don't really know. I guess walking down the street to the Mexican restaurant and eating there, alone at sundown. Always a relaxing experience.

When I'm writing my stories, I love those moments where my mind is so lost in the worlds i create that the real world no longer exist, everything is so quiet and focused. They only last a minute at most before some of the real world comes back to me but it's one of my favorite things about being alive.
For those brief moments, the world and characters I create are more real than the world that created me.

Also watching animals or insects, of any sort or kind, just doing their own thing. That always makes me happy.
