Today is the first day of the rest of your life by Bradley Charbonneau of past the sour cream.com. I'm in line at the national Center for life change. I have my ticket the little number I pulled from the machine like at the DMV the DMV looks modern compared to this place think I'm lost in a Time vacuum. I have a tight between my fingers so I don't lose it. I think I only get one. What if they close before I get to the window. Well my ticket be valid tomorrow morning. Well, I then be further along in the queue. Do I only get to come here once in my life? What if the change our request isn't the one I want lots of people here. I wonder how Works is it like an interview? How's it going to change my life? Zap me with electrodes whisper Voodoo in my ear. I don't see anyone going into interview rooms. I don't really hear people even talking or they specialist doctors neurosurgeons yoga instructors who can really change me. What do they know that? I don't guess that's why I'm here. Oh, I'm supposed to fill out a form didn't see that. Let's see question one. Who do you want to be? Whoa. Hmm. Geez. What happened to first name last name? Zip code? Dude, take it easy guys. Thought they were going to help me with that one. I thought that's why I was here. I wonder if we can talk to the questions at the window. I'll see anyone talking in the windows. Hmm all alone on this one. Do they mean a person? I'd like to be like like George Clooney. I don't even know George Clooney just seems like a cool guy. Yeah, probably not maybe Morgan Freeman. Who do I want to be? I am who I am. How's that going to change? Anyway, how much can someone really change especially? Late in life. Like I'm looking for I smiled to myself at my little age joke as I know. I'm not that old and I have time to make changes in my life so I can become that person. I'm supposed to be I have time I can do it anytime any day now. Sure anytime isn't that what addicts say I can stop whenever I want I can make these changes in whenever I want. So when is that going to happen? When is then I guess that's why I'm here today. Today must be the day. I have my ticket. I have my ticket. Soul must be good I'm ready. Okay? Okay. Maybe I'll skip that question and move on to the others only one more short form is going to be easy. How do you plan to become that person if I knew that I wouldn't be here. Come on really fine. I'll give it a shot. I suppose I have to put some effort into this nothing is going to come from nothing. I think I'm moving up in the line people are leaving from the windows. Do they look changed their lives altered? How would I tell I don't know what their lives were like before. Or so how would I know if anything had changed? I guess it wouldn't really change your exterior. Anyway, what will it change my brain? My memory my philosophies dreams hopes likes and dislikes if it changes those things will I be the same person? I really don't know what they're going to do with the window, but I'm getting more skeptical about this whole place. I don't want to be transformed into someone else not to the point where I'm not the same person. I just want what is it that I want? Is it possible to just change a little bit? Or is it all or nothing? Maybe I should have done a little more research. I'm moving up in line seems like it's going faster the line at the parking fine payment plays seems to go really fast the line at the ice cream shop seems to go really slowly are the changes reversible just a few little changes. What would they be? What about my life? Is it that I want to change? What is it about me that I want to change. Who do I want to be maybe a bit more of the guy I was when I was younger who That guy he was the guy I am now, but without well responsibilities. It's probably a definition somewhere that says that age brings responsibilities from the outside. My life must appear pretty close to perfect. So why am I at the DMV of life change is it just the old The Grass Is Always Greener? I don't want to lose my past. I don't want to lose who I am. I'm not sure I want to change the future or maybe I don't want someone else to change my future if they don't do it who's going to do it? I just want to change a bit where I'm going. I'm almost to the front am I chickening out or am I figuring it out? I want more of some things and less of other things. How can I accomplish that maybe if I knew what the some things in the other things were I dunno? I just need to think about them a minute. I probably have about a minute left. If I don't do it. They're going to do it for me. They might not get it right more of what I like to do and less of what I don't like to do within reason, of course. So what do I like to do think? That's another department. I smile at my joke on bureaucracy. My life is a bit bureaucratic. I need to run it more like an entrepreneur and less like the DMV. So what's the difference between entrepreneur and the DMV? Maybe a DMV is decision by committee. I'm guilty of debating with me myself. And I I think I know what to do. I think I even know how to get there or maybe at least where I'm heading and one of the several paths to get there or to take that first step in the general direction. So what's going to get me going? Is it the person behind the window? I'm there. I'm at the window. There's a person sharp dressed woman looks intelligent. Probably helpful. Probably insightful. She doesn't say anything. I have my ticket in my hand. I'm probably supposed to give it to her. I hand it over. I'm good. Actually I say she looks at me somewhat knowingly. She doesn't say anything. She probably knows me more than I do. Maybe not I give my head a tiny little Renard and if I had a hat I would have tipped it to her. She gives a Mona Lisa smile and I turned to go I know what to do.
