I'm a member of this wonderful forum for more than one and a half year now. I got to know many people from my country, and many others from abroad, and I can tell, I love all of them, I love you all. But only now did I realize that I didn't even open any topics. Not that I'm planning to make up for it (:P), but I just felt an urge to ask that question from everybody.

"Things that I want" is an idea I stole from Max Payne...

...but I so much like this idea myself, that I just need to ask you all about it.

So, I want you to post here the things that you want, a "wish list", what you want from life, from yourselves, from others, from the world... it may be a simple thing, but may also be something (which seems to be) unreachable or unbelievable. Just what you need, what you want. That's all.

The game is only fair if I'm the one who starts. So... what do I want?
I want warm sunshine with a fair wind. An everlasting summer, but not too hot... and no wasps around. And onion rings.
I want a girl who's near me, who loves me, and has nobody else for herself but me. A girl who understands my problems even if I don't tell her. Who can always cheer me up and make me happy, even after a really bad day.
I want my friends around. A big poker table with a tower of poker chips, and some friends to play and chat around. And an own movie theater, in which I can watch whatever I want.
I want better looks. A bit slimmer, I think. My face should remain the same. Or maybe a bit more handsome.
I want more faith, willpower, courage and persistence from myself. And I would want to believe in myself.
I want a world, in which naivete is not dangerous. I want a world with order, with everything in its place. And, the most important: I want peace, freedom and silence.

So? What do you want?

Hmm...what i want and what i need are two completely different things.

What i want the most is my love to be here in my arms,
to hold me when things go wrong,
to tell me everything is going to be alright,
that he loves me and none other.

would that be greedy in other words?

But i know he'll find someone there that he likes and i wont be able to stop him from falling in love. and where does that leave me? All Alone i tell you. no one can love someone so fully like i love him.

But i know i have him now and i'l do my best to keep him with my heart.

I think this topic idea its cool, cause even today i was playing max payne 1 and 2 all over again before i watch the movie and in the parte he says the things that i want i kept thinking about that .....anyways here it goes,

The Things That I Want by ME:

-I want to play guitar for all my life and manage to be a master or near it;
-I want time to relax, to think in my life, to reflect about some things;
-I want and i need a girl who loves me by my side a thing i never had;
-I wanna go watch POTF live some day which is almost impossible;
Resuming i WANNA BE HAPPY!

Those are some good wants, gabiruman. Hard to over come sometimes too. i wish you the very best on all of them.

I want a reason to wake up in the morning..

I have one for you.

Oh, you do? And what it that?

That's not right.

So you can play poker with your friends but she can't have any?

i was wondering about that as well...either you phrased it wrong, there is a meaning we are not getting, or your meant every single word of it....you seem like a nice guy so i don't think that you would think that...

OT:
I want...
to live in Japan
find my soulmate (whoever that may be)
compose powerful music
write many novels
and all in all
BE HAPPY!!!!!!
also, (forgot this)
meet new people and see new places.

Ooooooh, make a wish - list!!

- I want to get a job that would fix my financial problems
- I want to stay healthy
- I want to graduate in June
- I want to have an awesome engagement party in December
- I want to get pregnant (not necessarily right now)
- I want a puppy
- I wish I have a peaceful and fun Christmas with my fiance
- I want Football Manager 09

There´s so many things I would love to have, like a million euros... but these are doable!

Hehe, I just love quoting things. The quote this thread was started with is one of my favorites.
To answer the thread's question, I'll quote something else: The song 'Ravenscraig' by the band Runrig

"All I want is a roof over my head
All I want is a steady job.
All I want is to say 'I love you'
with every penny I've got."

What I want most, though, is being close to the one I love.




I think what he meant was that he wants to be the one who's special to her.

No. It's what most guys want, anyways. (Assuming that I am like most guys)

Would you bet on that?
Maybe he can.

That's the spirit!

I want to be able to eat chocolate and not get fat because of it

If that happened, I wouldn't care a bit for anything else in this world

i want to be loved and love (hopefully) her back, and complete a good education

boy, that made me cry

I didn't mean it like that, I don't think anyone with a soul would want that...
I've just already loved someone with all my heart who turned out to be... ehm... cheating on me, and not with just another guy, but lots of others. I didn't really want to tell that here, but well, that's the explanation. So, if I want to express it in another way, that would be "I want a girl who would stay faithful to me forever." I don't want to sound selfish, but I think most people don't like if their companion has an another partner, or more... right?
By the way, she could play along as well.

Yeah, that's what I was talking about.

-I want iPod LOL.
-I want to go to manymanymany shows and gigs.
-I wanna have my first kiss
-I want to be talented somehow
-I want to know what I should do in future too much open things

Great topic idea
Since unreachable things are allowed to, I found I have quite a long list:

I want...
- ...for my boyfriend to be able to make a living as a musician
- ...for my niece to grow up to be everything she wants to be
- ...for my family to be healthy

I want to live in a world where...
- ...what you can do or be is not determined by the color of your skin
- ...women and men have truly equal rights and opportunities
- ...it is OK to be gay
- ...religious beliefs and practices are a matter of choice and not forced upon anyone
- ...peace is possible
- ...everyone has a job that allows them to make a living
- ...the government truly cares for people not for financial interests
- ...dreams are cherished and not hidden in shame

I want to
- ...grow old with the man I love
- ...have a job that I like and where I do not have to be scared of losing it tomorrow
- ...be praised for my achievements and not judged too harshly for my mistakes
- ...spend more time with the people I care about and less with things I have to do
- ...not be looked at with pity or regarded as being somehow incomplete because I chose not to have children
- ...not be considered as childish or called a groupie because I am a fan
- ...own a movie theater to watch whatever I want (thanks for the idea Lone Poet)
- ...have a library of all the books I've ever wanted to read
- ...spend one hour with Marko to talk over a cup of coffee/tea/cocoa
- ...go to Poets of the Fall acoustic gig
- ...go to a Bruce Springsteen Christmas concert in New Jersey
- ...travel to Australia
- ...finally meet my friend E. whom I've known online for 6 years
- ...speak Finnish fluently
- ...have a pool table in our living room
- ...own a cat

I want...
- ...love
- ...happiness
- ...chocolate!

I want to continue to make people laugh, cry, and think a little harder.
I want more love and less pain in the world.
I want people to forgive each other a little more.
I want to see my friends everywhere. I want to meet them all at least once.
I want to bring my stories to life.
I want to publish my poetry.
I want to be healthier, and to afford to take care of my health a little better.
I want a job that will let me do all these things without burning me out.
I want freedom. I'm an American, but I do not feel free. I feel like I'm in a circus or zoo. The whole world watches us for sport.
I wish to pay off my debts a little faster. I think if I won a lot of money, I would not be wise with it, so just enough to get me out of debt would be fine.
I want people to know it's not all cruel misery here, but joy. If you look for joy, you will find it. If you've forgotten what it looks like, keep looking for something that isn't cruel. Love can be painful, but real love, the kind that isn't selfish, isn't proud, is stronger than any sort of pain you might experience.
I want everyone to do what they can with what they've got.
And I want all to never never never give up.

I want a nose job

Will come up with some deeper answers when I'm not so exausted

for me:
just these days I've been realizing that what I'd want most is some stability: you know.. that "being-able-to-keep-having-the-same-opinion/idea-for-at-least-a-few-hours" that would make my life (and my psychic health) much better...

damn.. what I'd want now is to be able to go back (even just two years) and choose to study Telecommunication Engineering... might sound stupid saying it like this, but it'd take too long (and too much effort) to explain!

I want to be more "open", "communicative" with people. Sometimes it must feel like I'm as cold as ice... and I hate it

and I really want to learn to sing


for my life:
I want to find my soulmate and get married and have chidren and have a job I really like...

does it sound cheesy if I say that all I want is to be happy?

Good, maybe that's one thing I want to do as well ^^

Judging by the fact that this is more or less what everyone wants... It doesn't.

Well some sense of direction, and a feeling of passion in something would be nice.

redbossfan...i agreed with all that you wished for. it was all beautiful and if i had gone more in depth, i might have listed some of them
your list was awesome
everyone's was beautiful. i enjoy this topic very much.

Oh! I wanna be skinier of course, I´m a girl

Now when I'm at the last year of comprehensive school I just want to get good grades and go to high school and get good grades from there too and then I want to go to study something so that I would graduate and get a good job.

And someday I want to get married (with a man of my dreams ) and have children and all that stuff.

I hoped it will be a success.

I want to be totally happy and content.
I want to be with him and know it will be ok and no one will be against it.
I want to do well in University,
I want sunshine on a rainy day
I want to see Poets of the fall live.. now! lol

I want to lose myself, and find myself again.
