I'm happy with what I have done and achieved in life
I'm 18 and there is nothing that values being on this list for me

although I would love to live long enough to see if jason becker makes a recovery

Well, I know the one thing I'll wish I'd done the moment before I die...

...I'll wish I'd lived longer.

I dunno. There's probably a million things I want to do, but right now I'm focusing on the present when it comes to my own life.

Roughknight: You, er, are aware they kind of rebuilt the Reichstag, right? So... what, you plan to blow it up first or something?

probably more, anyways. *clicks add reply*

I can just imagine Climhazzard posting in here. As for me..

Write a book that doesn't necessarily hit the top sellers but makes people think.

Become a lawyer.

Make millions of dollars to squander, while making separate millions to keep myself alive and far out of poverty.

Get people to stop arguing about religion. (And I don't want this to be quoted in this topic, going off-topic, starting an argument, and having people mad at me when that's exactly what I'm saying I don't want. I say this because I know it would happen.)

Be well-known enough to be respected, but not enough to have the media watch my every move.

Start my own website, when I get enough money.

Go much farther on my genealogy chart than I have so far.

And finally, get enough influence in the government to actually separate church and state (because that's what the idealists say should be, and yet look at all the anti-homosexual and anti-American laws going on lately.)

--------------------

I didn't lose my mind, It ran away.

-Master all of Joplin's works
-See Porgy and Bess
-Buy my parents a home in Southern California
-Meet Kurt Vonnegut (better hurry... )


I honestly don't know , ....I guess what I really want to happen in the close future is to hear my girlfriend tell me she loves me, and to have her kiss me instead of I her. For once.

Well, ....we all have dreams....

--------------------

"You're so beautiful! ...You're a man...?!"
-man in Troia bar, to Cecil

Normally I would've said first and foremost, to see Tool live in concert. But, I saw them over the summer (best concert I've ever seen and it's not colored by my love for the band). So then I'd have to go with...seeing Tool live in concert again!

Also, to see Brett Favre play in person. But that one will likely go unrealized.

Find a band that isn't full of douchebags.
Hit it big singing heavy metal with said band.
Establish a new world order.
Have my own country, or perhaps island, which will be dubbed Hawktopia.
Open up a comic book store.
Get published (Well, sorta complete.)
Get one of my movies made.
Learn how to create an attractive webpage.
Touch a female ( Oooh, it'd be nice to check this one off. )
Date. (What's that? Dare to dream? Thank you I will.)
Build a snowman
Build a snow fort
Become an actor

--------------------

This one time I punched a bear in the forehead TO DEATH! I still have the scars on my chest. I am the manliest man that ever did man.

League: Z3roHawk
Steam: Zero_Hawk
Wii U: Zero_Hawk
FF14 - Goblin - Zero Hawk <Fiend>

Hahaha. So I guess I have a few goals that I want to do before I die. They're all completely realistic, but I might have to work at some of them, which I'm not good at. Oh well. Here goes:

Get married
Have + raise children (hopefully my wife will do the having, not me)
Train an obedient border collie
Spend all my scholarship money on a freakin huge college ring (haha hopefully not>_< )
Work for NASA as a Ceramic Engineer
Join Mensa
Discover something new in my field
Travel to my "hometown" in Italy; maybe own property there
Reintroduce Don Ellis to the music world
Put my talents in my field to use with my hobbies (e.g. ceramic trumpet)
Be happy!

Getting married and having a kid.
Joining the air force.
Finishing college.
Marrying the girl of my dreams.
finding the root of all langueses.
do a successful stand up act.
Learn the bruce lee style of fighting (i know the name just dont know hot to spell it)
Invent something that i will be famous for and loved by all for.

Hey the world domination thing has been a life long ambition okay.

This diverges a little from "what to do before you die," but I keep all my "ten year" goals written down on paper. (I guess I'm just being optimistic and assuming I'll be alive in ten years.)

I'm up for the second year review in a couple months, and doing pretty well. I assume I'll start another "ten year" list at the halfway mark, or simply revise the original, to be sure things are kept fresh.

I never really think about these sorts of things, but off the top of my head, I'd like to:

- See Radiohead live. If you'd have asked me last year, I would've said see Sigur Rós live, but I've done that twice since, and it was incredible - certainly something I'm glad I did before I die.
- Achieve something musically. I love music, but I've never really been in a band or anything. I don't mean having a lucrative career, more just recording an album for me and some friends, maybe playing a few local gigs.
- Learn a language. I've always kinda regretted not working harder at French, and then giving up on studying it at school.
- Find someone, preferably a female, who would be willing to put up with me for the rest of their life. Or just let me touch them for an extended period of time.
- I've always wanted to open a little bookshop or something.
- Go back to New York. That's the only place I've loved as much as where I am now.

Sadly, I can't really think of any notable achievements, things I can tick off.
