I have had many dreams as a kid, some of them did become reality. some got a dose of reality that made me change the dream.

I wanted to work for Disney. I did, got to work on beta testing and helping design Disney Software in the late 80s.

I wanted to work for an advertising agency, Ogilvy and Mather in particular. I got to work alongside someone who worked that account, but moreso I got to work at my second choice, Saatchi and Saatchi. I hated it and left after 6 months and 1 day. The 1 day was on purpose.

I dreamed of having my own business. I did at age 14. I sold software and hardware to companies at steep discounts because I had no overhead. I drop shipped everything so no stock, no warehouse. I gave it up when I got intereseted in girls and partying. I just got incorporated just last week, got our seal the other day in the mail. I'll take it to a completely different level.

I dreamed of opening a computer store at 15. Apple insisted on $1M in liquid assets and the ability to warehouse 1 week inventory. All the spaces I found would allow me a good amount of square footage, but I could not scratch up $1M in assets in 1983. I could barely do it today and it wouldn't be liquid.

I dreamed of having a place in NYC. I now own a small apartment overlooking the East River and two bridges in Lower Manhattan.

I dreamed of travelling around the world. I try to fly to at least 2 countries every year.

I gave up many other dreams to prove something to someone else. I gave them up without a fight.

I dream of opening a restaurant or bar.

I'm now creating new ones.

A sportscar is on my list. I had a motorcycle with the wind in my hair....I got hit by some girl on Rt 4 in NJ after a 100+ mile ride, just 1.5 miles from home. I promised some family members I wouldn't ride again.

Being expatriated or living in another country of my choice.
