I posted this a year or 2 ago, and it had a pretty good response - what are your goals before you die? (Leave having a woman of every different race out, because who doesn't?). I'm always interested to see what other people want to do, because I will think, hey - that could be fun!
So....
Mine are (in no order)
Learn fluent Spanish.
Visit Machu Picchu.
Visit Russia.
Skydive.
Buy a Porsche.
Finally learn the guitar.
Have a farm.
Be self employed.
See the Pyramids.
I feel the same way! I’ve been overpaid in so many ways.
Go Mariners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My two favorite teams?
The Mariners
Anyone beating the Yankees
Oops should have been to angcat
Go to the Super Bowl and see the Cleveland Browns
(promised my Dad we’d do that back in the 80s, he’s been dead 16 yrs - If I don’t last long enough I got a 3 y/o grandson who can go someday)
Did you write this college entrance essay?
I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I
have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making
them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic
slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time
efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.
I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot
bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook
Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a
veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.
Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly
defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious
army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the
subject of numerous documentaries. When I’m bored, I build large
suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On
Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of
charge.
I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie.
Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear.
I don’t perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I
have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last
summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force
demonstration. I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me
fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.
I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy.
I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day
and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I
know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have
performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week;
when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I
successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a
small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.
I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On
weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami.
Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down.
I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a
toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San
Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the
Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and
I have spoken with Elvis.
But I have not yet gone to college.
What FUN things have you done?
No, but it DOES sound like me, eh?
Maybe just a little. ;)
Not nice...in fact, vicious...
Live Free! Not as a slave to the US Government.
Agree
Having come darn close to dying twice before
causes one to ask different questions
And a thorn has been pulled from the paw
Fear of death is gone...
Lol I moved from Alaska (drove from there to here 2 years ago) and I want to see there.
I would love to come visit, husband thinks everything east of the Mississippi is a cesspool. I am pretty sure that there are pockets of uncesspoolness.
>I am pretty sure that there are pockets of uncesspoolness.<
Not as many as there use to be. Before muslims and illegals infected the country there was some truly wonderful areas east of the River.
And I haven’t gone to college either :>)
Just the School of Hard Knocks.
Don’t be self employed,”
I love it. Moved the office to the house 3 years ago, got rid of the clients I didn’t like, created a situation where the others are totally dependent on me. Can work in my underwear if I choose and take a nap during the day with the phone nearby. Flying under the govt radar.
My bucket list: Go to the Texas State Fair - lived here 24 years and never been. Other things I would like to see happen but they are in God’s hands - the Fair I can do with some help from my son.
