Goals
Everyone has goals that they accomplish everyday, but the ones that matter are the big life long goals. One of my goals involves traveling to a place where my favorite movies were filmed at. This place i am talking about is New Zealand, the place of perfect scenery and amazing views of nature.

The first thing i would do when i got there would be to go through the city of Wellington and look at its historical sights. I would then try my best to get to meet and say hello to the famous director of the Lord of the Rings movies, Peter Jackson. After that I would go and see the actual sights of where those movies were filmed, such as The Shire which was built back in 2012 to commemorate the Lord of the Rings/ The Hobbit movies.

I’ve always loved cars, and i’m really picky when it comes to cars too. An example of me being picky is that I am a die hard Dodge kind of person and i hate Ford with a passion. But all the car loving started when i was about five and My cousin and I were playing on a carpet track with my GTR hot wheel car. That was the best toy any kid could ask for at that time and i would pretend I was Paul Walker from the Fast and the Furious movies. This is where I had grasped my love towards GTRs, and Paul Walker would end up crashing each GTR he owned which kinda sucked, because they were all nice cars. But if i got a GTR i would detail to look very sharp, I would get it in a Charcoal gray color with orange Halo lights and tinted back lights and the trim would be orange. I would also add a nice looking GT wing on the back and a hood, and roof scoop on it. I would also end up putting a black slash mark on the left headlight, and of course i would put a NOS symbol either on the back or on the side. My charger would end up being the same color and with orange trim also. I would put a slash mark on the left side and have a ducktail spoiler, and the headlights would be orange halo lights. If I didn’t have enough money I would be stuck with getting the charger, but if I had enough money I would get both because i like riding in style. Everybody has goals daily but I think more about my lifelong goals and how I can reach them starting
