What is your goal in life?

I just wanted to know whether people are interested in getting married, children, a dog and a house, live life to its fullest or try to make difference for the entire world?
of course, any other is good.

Bring forth change, shake the very foundations of the world.
Sort of.
I intend to get power/influence in some way or another, and use this power to change the world for the better. Like Geldof, really… maybe I'll go down the whole musician route.
Maybe get married, maybe not.

I can't understand how people can want to be in the background and not want to make a big change. But that's just me; ever hungry.

Before I make a goal in life, I should first get a life.

Get rich, or at least comfortably off. Possibly move to Canada. Find love. Get somewhere with my band (we'll never be big, but at least getting well known in the area would be nice).

All completely impossible, but there you go.

What are they called? What's their genre? Where is "the area"?

Am I the only one to have serious grandiose aims here? :(

Rest assured, I want to make changes too, the "revolution or death" choice, was especially for me

Most likely, yes. The rest of us are more pessimistic.

What do you mean? Are you in a band that hopes to gain some level of notoriety, this being one of your aims?

Most likely, yes. The rest of us are more pessimistic. I would have thought that pessimists would want to change things because no one else will. I veer between optimist and pessimist.

Oh yes, I'd also like to become an incredible rabble-rousing orator. That would be just fine.

No. I can't sing or play an instrument. I'm just a supporter of new groups.

Either that or they don't bother, becasue it'd be hopeless.

Hell yeah.

I'd like to learn a programming language and learn the guitar. I'd also like a collection of swords. Those are my goals.

These are my plans:

1. Finish my education, try to get a job as a programmer and move away from my dad. Once I have done that, I plan to keep living alone for the rest of my life, my computers practically being my best friends.

2. Wait and see if the thin layer of belief I have left proves itself true of false. (it will do so automatically) No matter how it turns out, I will attempt to enjoy my life as much as possible, and possibly start my own software company.

3. If the belief mentioned above turns out to be false, I will live on as an extremely odd loner and nerd, possibly slightly insane, bitter and cynical towards society and all of humanity, and dedicate the very last years of my life towards attempting to eradicate all of humanity. (and I mean all, and at once. otherwise it would be meaningless)

My goal is simply not to die homeless and unloved, and to provide well enough for my wife so that she doesn't die homeless and unloved, which is her constant fear.

The name changes roughly every week due to indecisiveness. Genre is metal/emo (curse our emo singer)/rock/stuff. Area is East Anglia.

Not all of us are that ambitious. I just want to live my life in peace and as hassle-free as possible, and not to die alone. (No, that doesn't mean I want someone to die with me!)

Ah, the inconsistent name. Always a good sign. I've heard many bands start that way.

And your genre appeals to me. When you decide on a name and record a song, let me know. I'll spread the word, even though I'm in Scotland.

I've started a band called Noctis - such an unoriginal name. We may change it… I thought "Sons of Asgard".

Too true. To die fighting for a cause I believe in, that's the way I want to kick the bucket.

As someone I know said: "I want to die with a sword in my hand and a battlecry on my lips!". So funny, and yet so true.

I don't think there were enough options in the poll. I picked the last choice, because revolution isn't really my style and neither is raising a family. All I want is enlightenment. Holy, that sounds trite, doesn't it? It is the only thing I'm working on though...trying not to hurt people and do fulfilling work for the rest of my life. :)
