Goals before death

*Powder* · 05-08-2011, 12:19 AM

Everybody has at least one thing they'd like to do before they die, even if it's just to try a new kind of sandwich.
What's on your to-do list prior to expiration? Traveling? Singing for a crowd? Having kids?

Here's what I got on the spot.

-Go to Stone Henge
-Visit "old world" Japan (stereotypical stuff you see in school books; temples, shrines, etc.)
-Sail within the Bermuda Triangle
-Learn Kung Fu
-See Rancid in concert
-Take up the theremin &/or Koto
-Try acid or DMT (though I fear a "bad trip" I'm very intrigued by the spiritual aspects of them)
-Follow through with Meditation (I've tried in the past but hadn't the patience to stick with it)
-Live in various places for 6 months to a year (England, Japan, somewhere in the mountains/forest)
-Be the very best like no one ever was

How bout you guys?

*Spitfire* · 05-08-2011, 12:23 AM

See more of the world.
Watch a movie I created on the big screen.
See something I made on a store shelf.
Raise a happy kid who goes on to accomplish their life goals whatever they may be.

Love it!

I would like to:
- have at least one job in my lifetime that doesn't completely suck.
- have kids
- go to England & Scotland
- go to Japan
- own a brand new car (vain, but I've never had a non-used car)

*Katie* · 05-08-2011, 07:32 PM

1) love and be loved. (Check)
2) be financially stable (close....maybe check)
3) be able to retire and enjoy it. (We'll see)
4) become someone to be remembered

*Scandia* · 05-08-2011, 08:37 PM

- See Alaska and Hawaii- already went to all 48 continental states

- See places in world I have yet to go to.
- Learn to play at least one more musical instrument.
- Learn at least one more language.
- Find the right person once and for all.

The first four I should be able to do. The last one has proven extremely difficult.

*Voltron* · 05-08-2011, 10:19 PM

Personally, publicly, and irrevocably thwart all of you from accomplishing any of these goals.

It's going to be difficult, so I'm counting on all your support.

Ah, yes, forgot to add that I'd like to see a WWE Live Event (not a house show, but RAW, SD, or a PPV).

Attend Comic Con and meet some cool people there.

Yeah, I could've edited my post, but I'm too lazy to do so.

Is it so wrong to want to have sex with a Japanese girl just once before I die?

And this is a serious goal. Just once.

I also want to be proficient in some sort of interest/hobby. I bounce around all sorts of hobbies like reading (like you can be proficient in that), Japanese study, Chess, Mahjong, etc. I want to have the sort of mentality to focus on just one and get some sort of skill in it.

I wanna be a complete failure who has no children and no family. I hope never to become a professional voice actor, and never visit Europe.

Thwart away Voltron....
