Woodchucks, Life

NOTE: Skip the first paragraph only if thou art allergic to insanity.

So the Woodchucks have become a militant species, having only one goal in life, wiping out all predators. It's interesting what these critters can do, but what's more interesting is how they go about doing all this and for what reason. After years of being dominated by the Human race, the Woodchucks are finally fighting back, they want the same status as almost every animal has been given in the past, then want the status of God. From dogs to cats to elephants to mice, almost all animals have been worshiped in some way or another, but not the Woodchucks. So now it's either worship the Woodchucks or face their wrath! Be good else the wrath of the Woodchucks shall fall upon thee! Bhonkrow Woodchucks, Bhonkrow...

Anyways enough of that for the time being. There are so many things that I want to do, that I want to try out, but when I think about it all, I wonder when I'll get the time to do them. Generally once people start working, they don't get much of a break from life to do something different, something crazy. For example, I really want to go sky-diving someday, and skiing, white water river rafting, bungee jumping, mountain climbing, and other thrilling things like that. I want to go trekking (I've never been trekking!!), and go to National Parks, and travel the world, and write all about these adventures I have. I want to learn how to play tennis (or at least learn some sport properly) and learn how to play the guitar, and become good at both. But most of all I want to have enough time to read as many good books as possible.

Once you have to shoulder responsibility, all these things you've always wanted to do have to be put behind and more important things like earning a living and settling down take up your time. And after a certain point of time, when the pleasures of these things can no longer be had, a longing creeps in and you wish you could go back in time and live your life differently. Even now I wish I had learned how to play tennis when my dad was teaching me how to, and I wish I had pestered my dad, when I was younger, to get me a guitar. I wish I had taken out more time to read good books when I was supposed to be reading books rather than wasting summer vacations away.

Yet I know that if anything had happened differently in my life then I wouldn't be who I am today, and I don't know whether this is supposed to comfort me or not, but I do feel a sense of relief in that matter. You see, when we are young, we don't know how the things we do will mold our personality, or I should say, we cannot control who we become. Once we are more mature then we know better in what direction to steer ourselves, and even though it may go wrong at times, we can always steer back onto the path we want to be on.

I may not be able to do everything I've listed out, but I'll definitely make some of those things happen for there's really no point in living if you stop enjoying the thrills of being alive. I don't want to be rich or famous while I'm alive, but I do want to be happy and be able to look back at my life and say to myself that I lived it.
