My Doogie Howser moment.

Growing up back in the 80's and early 90's one of my favorite show was Doogie Howser MD. I remember that after every episode, he would type something into his computer, just like a journal. Like what I'm doing now, I'm blogging my mind out. It just hit me, that growing up I looked up to a lot of characters - and I made them my heroes. MacGyver, Hulk Hogan, Rocky Balboa, and of course Doogie.

MacGyver for his fast thinking and improvisations, I always wanted to buy a Swiss army knife because of him. Hogan, telling everybody to exercise, drink your vitamins and say you prayers - hey I did that and I'm still doing it. Rocky, for the greatest underdog story of all time - I even went to Philadelphia just to pay tribute by running the stairs in the museum just like what he did in the movie while he was training (well yeah the cheese steak was awesome too!). Douglas Howser the 14 year old medical doctor. I always wanted to be a doctor like Doogie, but I don't have the money and I thought that I was gonna settle down and have a family so going to medical school was not an option. But now that I have no more commitments, I think that I could pursue my childhood dream. But I think it's too late for me now. At this point of my life. I'm just planning to go to graduate school and get a doctorate degree on physical therapy. This is one of my goals that I want to accomplish in the next five years.

Hmm, I remember that back in high school I wrote something on a piece of paper. They were things that I want to accomplish before I go to college. If I remember it right it says:

• Buy shades
• Learn how to drive
• Sculpt thy body
• Inquire about college programs

I'm pretty sure that I did everything that I wrote down. I did this when I was sixteen, now that I'm almost 25, I will make a new set of goals. Things that I would like to accomplish before I hit 30.

• Go to Jamaica (the country, not the one in Queens where 50 cent got shot)
• Eat a space cake in Amsterdam (This is the least of my priorities)
  
• Get a doctorate degree on Physical Therapy
  
• Move to California (I currently live in NYC)
• Learn Spanish (this is very important both here in NYC and in California)
• To love someone with all my heart (I know you're out there... I'm just healing my wounds for you so I could give you my all... yeah baby!)
• Be more involved in the community (do some volunteer work)
• Bungee Jump
• Sky Dive
  
• Get a tattoo on my chest that says "Overcome"
  

I think I should stop now before I go overboard. There you go, let's see five years from now if I was able to accomplish my goals. Wish me luck!
