More about my future self

It is more than a year but less than two years into the future, my ideal self is thinking about what he has planned for the evening. He is happy and content, he hums along to a song that is playing on his iPod, which is hooked up to an iPod speaker system in the living room. A flat screen hdtv is hanging on the wall across from the large sofa in his living room, ESPN is on, a college basketball game is going on which he has 50 bucks on, but the sound is turned down. The puppy he bought in the spring is playing with a rubber tennis ball at his feet and making growling noises. There are some messages on his answering machine, which he hasn't bothered to check. One wall in his house is a dark red, the rest are an off white or greyish color. The floor is a rich wood panelling, on which there are several modern looking throw rugs. The lighting is futuristic looking. He also has a new Marshall amp.

Life is exciting and comfortable at the same time. He works at UC, but he is starting to interview for some interesting and high paying positions with prestigious companies. He works hard - 9-10 hours a day. He is brilliant and has distinguished himself as one of the most talented people on the team. People trust him and like him. He has many friends and admirers at work. He is constantly reading something to expand his technical knowledge, just as he is constantly exercising to keep his body in top form. He typically arrives at work between 8 and 9 am, and leaves between 6 and 7. He works the entire time, unless he goes out to lunch with friends. He reads a technical book at least an hour a day. In the evening, he works out at the gym, practices guitar for several hours, works on his software projects, or goes out to the bars with friends. He walks his dog in the morning and at night, his dog is constantly at his side. His dog is a large masculine dog, he constantly gets compliments from attractive women about how cute his dog is. He does not waste a minute of his day. He is always listening to audio books and reading books to expand his mind before he goes to bed. He has become a wide ranging and fascinating conversationalist. He has developed an extremely attractive sense of confidence and goofy sense of humor.
