How many of you have a dream? Something you want to accomplish in your life, that no one can stop you from doing. Some dream to win the lottery or marry a supermodel. Others dream about a life that will never exist because it's simply to far'fetched. I guess i can say the same for me. I've always dreamed of a life where i could be this famous rock star, or a tv personality. But really those are nothing compared to what i really want. This is gonna sound a little weird but bear with me.
My one true dream is to be forgotten. Weird huh? Let me explain how this came about. I had a childhood where i wasn't noticed very much, the odd child out if you will. I mean my parents noticed me of course, but to other kids i was the one you didn't really talk too. So i had a thought. What if i could be erased from the world? Make it look like i never even existed. This thought seemed to compel me over the years. For example, most of you notice how i don't like being in photographs. Well this kind of explains why. I'm sure i'm not the only one with a weird dream like this, but i'd love to hear what you guys think. Hit me with a comment or two.....

contrary to your dream... my dream is to be remembered, and not just by those around me. I know this sounds intense, but i want to be remembered throughout history. I want my name to stand the tests of time just like so many other legends before me...
now i know that this may make me sound narrow minded, as if i am forcing my dreams upon others, but why would you dream to be forgotten? you give a number of reasons on HOW you are doing this, but you never mention why. and doesnt that seem almost hypocritical? i mean in your earlier blog you mention how each life is important and how we need to respect that life. How are you respecting the life you are given, if your one goal in life is not to be remembered, to have no impact on those around you? Being forgotten means that you made no significant impact on someones life, and that pretty much translates into doing nothing of significance WITH your life... why would you want to waste this AMAZING opportunity that has been given to you, when there are so many others who would give ANYTHING to have the chances you are given...
dont get me wrong, i dont mean to be critisizing you, but i just dont understand why...
I'll admit, you bring up a good point. Let me try to explain why i'm doing this. From watching movies about people who've had their identity erased, or the government declares them dead when they're actually alive, i developed an interest in what it would take to do it in todays world. I still believe life is important and that we each have a distinct purpose, but for me, trying to completely erase myself is one of the more unique aspects of my life.
Hey J-moose
no matter how much you don't want to be remembered, I am always going to remember you because friends dont ever forget about friends. so ha! there is a flaw in your plan. Ba ha ha.
COM TECH BUDDIES FOR LIFE!
We live to be remembered. We die to be forgotten. Don't mix the two up.
