I am going to run for President of the United States when I’m in my 60’s.
Right now, I couldn’t vote for myself. I’m smart enough to be President, and I have the perfect election plan in action, but I’m not a strong enough person to do the job. I need more experience and I have to have accomplished a few more things.
I need to have paid all my debts, with money I earned, without declaring bankruptcy.
I’m not saying I won’t negotiate settlements, but I don’t believe a person who doesn’t need to protect assets so he or she can keep a roof over the heads of children should go to the court and ask to be protected from creditors. I promised to pay and I’ll pay… if it takes the rest of my life.
But it’s not going to take the rest of my life.
I’ve talked lots of great talk, but I actually do have a number of ideas that will make millions of dollars the easy way: by earning it. Anyway, I’ll be accomplishing this task over the next five years.
My step father said he thought I was full of shit. It certainly seemed, at that moment, that I was. But, I’m not full of shit. It’s just going to have taken more than a decade when it is accomplished.
I need a full accounting of what I owe my family.
I’m not legally liable for what they invested in the company, but the demise of the company was completely my fault. I didn’t just make mistakes, I completely tanked things. I was under some stress. They invested in me, and so I’ll use profits from my internet ventures to pay them back.
I need to be under stress.
I don’t stress about much of anything anymore. It’s a great skill to have, one I learned by being homeless and noticing that it was still beautiful outside.
So what I’m saying is that I need to undertake a path that puts me in more difficult situations, to demonstrate that I’ve conquered my brain and can complete long running tasks by employing diligence and discipline.
So, I’ve decided to get a law degree and pass the Oklahoma Bar.
My brain is especially well suited to remembering things and understanding systems at the micro and macro scopes, and every scope in between. I’m also quite a good negotiator and can passionately argue and grandstand in front of strangers.
Learning about the law and actually doing some legal work within the court system sounds like a good thing a politician should accomplish. I think a number of years of pro bono sounds good. My internet ventures will be on autopilot by then anyway.
So, I need to complete my computer science degree at OSU.
And I want to do that on campus because I need to be around lots and lots of people for the next twenty years.
So, the gears are already in motion to move to Stillwater this summer and enter school this fall.
First, I have to apply for readmission. I can’t remember my exact status, but I know it wasn’t good when I left mid-semester. This might take some convincing. I do the opportunity to send a personal statement along with the application.
Obviously, I need to have held elected office.
This is a bit of a problem because I don’t completely identify with either major party. Nor do I identify with any of the smaller parties.
But I’ve always been a registered Republican. I might have to work within the Party to make it more of something with which I can identify.
The kinder, gentler Republican party.
This is funny because neither party is unkind and neither party is gentle. It’s politics. The candidate you don’t like is always a bastard and the one you do is a hero.
But I’ve been crazy!
I’ve momentarily indulged in flights of fancy and the whole thing is documented.
By the time I run for office there will be thousands of posts on this blog and hundreds of videos. I’ll be the first candidate you can know personally and you’ll be able to evaluate if I’ve come far enough to deserve your vote.
I suspect people will vote for someone they trust…
…even if that person espouses a plan that’s not completely to their liking. That person is preferable to someone they don’t know and trust, who is promising them the moon.
