100 (or less) Things to Do Before You Die

What's your list?

 

Get born, keep warm, short pants, romance, learn to dance,
Get sick, get well, hang around a ink well,
Ring bell, hard to tell if anything is gonna sell,
Try hard, get barred, get back, write braille, get jailed, jump bail,
Join the army if you fail.

Look out kid, it's something you did.
Better walk on your tiptoes don't try Nodose
Better stay away from those that carry round a firehose,
Keep a clean nose, watch the plainclothes,
You don't need a weatherman to show which way the wind blows.
-- Dylan

 

I suppose that in many ways it's important to set goals... but on the other hand, things never really turn out the way you plan them, so you never know what's going to be really satisfying and what's going to be a disappointment.

You can go through your life with a long checklist and slowly put ticks next to the things you've done, but unless you know yourself really really well, you might just be kidding yourself.

I'd be satisfied with just learning how to be happy with what I've already done... or to know that at least one person in this world really knows what I'm all about. But that's really hard...

 

I would just life as i always life, enjoy every moment of life till the moment itself dissappears.

On the other hand, i might run naked trough the city first! .

 

I haven't been very well for a while and when your head is mucky, eyes blurry and limbs aching, life doesn't have the same "shine"....I would love to, just for one moment, have the clarity of thought to enjoy a truly, peaceful, serene moment, to take in every detail of the landscape, to feel part of it. I would give anything to be able to experience that before I die.

 

It's hard to say, because people are always changing, and in that, what they want it always changing. Plus, you have to account for accidents and surprises...

But just from the top of my head-
Travel around the world
Meet lots of people
Learn lots of languages
Forsake shoes for good
Draw down the moon at Stonehenge
Learn to be happy with myself

and oh so much more.

 

Make people happy, and find inner peace.

 

Figure It out.

 

get married
have kids
travel more
get over fear of airplanes
see the wreck of titanic
get fit- very fit
become a better swimmer


tons more.

 

I've been busy doing a bunch of crazy things for the past 10 or 11 years. I made a list of all that I've done before I am to turn 30, but here are a few still on my list -

spend a year in Barrow, Alaska
help legalize marijuana
go to Fiji
spend time in India
visit the world's largest ball of twine
write a few books
live in a sustainable home
go sailing

 

Perform slam poetry at least once.
Meet an author of one of my favorite books.
Fulfill every promise.
Write something that will improve the day of at least 1000 people.
Die in some cool fashion, preferably at an old age. (Although I suppose that couldn't be done 'before' I died.)

 

join and travel with a circus

 

My list is probably going to turn out boring.

-Have a dog again, and make it feel like the happiest dog in the world.
-Fight the great battle.
-Give a speech on my beliefs.
-See the world.
-Find out what happened to a bunch of people who disappeared from my life.
-Bake something that tastes good.
-Live, and not just observe.
-Play a big festival.
-Release many albums.
-Go back to San Francisco again.
-Finish something I started.

I've got plenty more, but they're little things that I could do any day.

 

I really liked yours, silver rocket! =D

 

Thank you so much, you are very kind How come you didn't post your list? Or are you waiting until the thread gets a little longer to post your own list?

 

Honestly, I don't really have a list! =D I was trying to make one before so I decided to post this thread, you know, to get ideas. Plus I thought it'd be interesting to see what kinds of goals people want to achieve.

 

Learn to play the guitar
Travel the world with the woman I love
Make my parents proud
Go to the Gathering of the Juggalos
Stop bein such a pussy and stand up for myself in any situation

Mine are pretty boring too I guess, I could think of more but for now thats it

 

Oh yeah, I wanna see at least one Wrestlemania LIVE!!!!!

 

punch tom cruise in the twat.
get deported.
chase a hamster around a circuit city parking lot while naked.
go extreme ironing.
paint a self portrait.
stand on one leg for 38 hours.

 

Aww, I see. Have you come up with any ideas for your own list so far?
