Before I die

Current mood:jedi

Yes, it's my "Ten things to do before I die" list. I was sitting at work the other day not working when I realized how long I've been wanting to do this. But me being a commitment-phobe thus made it very difficult to settle on THE TEN THINGS FOREVER UNTIL I DIE. Truth be told, it was a lot easier than I anticipated. A lot of this stuff just came naturally and I was suprised at how close I am to accomplishing a few. Anyways, if you haven't already made one, you should. It's kind of fun.

  1. Graduate from college (I'm anticipating this one to the point of developing a rash.)
  2. Live in Ireland (for at least six months) (Specifically County Clair. I'm told I have ancestors there.)
  3. Find love (Hopefully no rash will be involved with this one.)
  4. Publish a novel (At least one. Come on, that's not too much to ask, is it?)
  5. Travel (Pretty straight forward. You people should move far away to exciting places so that I can come and visit)
  6. Buy and use a sailboat (I'll name her "Hispanola" and fly the roger and be the scourge of the New Smyrna Beach Marina)
  7. Own an Airedale and name it "Gromit" (It just seems fitting)
  8. Be somehow involved in a major motion picture (A childhood dream. Imagine if I could walk around saying "Yes, I cleaned out the latrines on the second location shooting of *insert major motion picture*." Man that would be sic.)
  9. Make a living playing music (for at least six months) (Which may be kind of hard as a drummer.)
  10. Figure out what Bonham is doing at 6:26 into "Stairway to Heaven" (It's called a "herta." I can't play it at Bonham speed yet, but I'm that much closer.)

So, yeah. That's it...the future of my life. And here are a few that didn't make the list

 

-Marry Natalie Portman

 

-Live at the Magic Kingdom (for at least six months)

 

-Learn the ways of the force

 

-Become a cheese connoisseur

 

-Prove the Earth is flat

 

-Revitalize Val Kilmer's acting career

 

-Eat my weight in cotton candy

 

-Invent the internet

 

-Find the missing 18 1/2 minutes from the Watergate tapes

 

-Lead my people to freedom

 

-Trip with Hunter S. Thompson
