a couple of months ago, i had come across a page that was very similar to mine. to the extent they had ripped off the ideas of players and almost the exact wording of what i said. i never bothered to write them to mention it, but i figured quid pro quo: I’ll steal something from them.
the idea was a card that would list everything you wanted to do before you died. sounded good to me. sticky pads are getting way expensive:
Before I die, I want to:
- backpack through Europe
- get my undergraduate degree before I’m 30
- write a best seller
- write a non-best seller, but more in depth in its prose
- be rich
- learn to drive a stick without putting out the clutch.
- learn to sky dive, mountain climb, and hike
- learn to ski
- open a book/coffee/internet cafe
- open up a discotech
- own a bordello
- have sex live on stage in Amsterdam
- become a sexpert
- make a porno movie
- go to an ivy league grad school
- live in Europe for awhile
- own a vineyard
- learn to cook
- get my labia pierced
- get a few more tattoos
- live in sin
- get married
- get married again
- have a child or 12
- get my doctorate in something
- drive across the US
- live in all the major cities
- learn how to speak French and German
this list will be updated when i think of new things/more things i want to do. a “star” of some sort will be placed by the ones i have already done.
