Sand Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I don't have a list. When I die, I die and till then I'm not dead. Its not like I am going to be able to reflect back on my life when I am dead.

Guard Dog Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 My impossible dream was to run the Iditarod. Probably never happen. Or get elected to Congress. The Iditarod is a little more likely. Scuba diving is easy and fairly cheap Astr0creep. And unless you live in Nevada somewhere, there is probably a place to go somewhere near you.

Walsingham Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I don't have a checkpoint approach. Read too much zen/rubbish. My life is about fulfilling my ongoing commitments. i have been considering whether to think about settling down and having kids, but nothing doing as yet. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

metadigital Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 i have been considering whether to think about settling down and having kids, but nothing doing as yet. I'm pretty sure that requires more than one person to accomplish. " I think I might actually pass my private pilot's licence at some point in the not-too-distant future. Perhaps write a book. Certainly travel everywhere that I haven't so far, and a few places I have, again. Wouldn't mind a trip to space.

theslug Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Get Ripped: In Progress Build my own computer: Check Get Degree: In progress Learn to Fly: Not yet Teach in Japan: Not yet Get tan: Starting in a few weeks Get Married: Not yet Children: Not yet Design/Buy/Build/Remodel a House: Not yet Become Filthy Rich: Not yet Buy yacht and sail the ocean: Not yet There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Raven Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Nothing. You die, you die. Making a list is pointless. I could go to work tomorrow and get killed in a traffic accident, thus never complete anything on my list. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

Laozi Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) I would like to get a trench coat and get naked underneath and rub up against Reece Witherspoon. Not that I find her particuliarly attractive or anything, I would just get a sense of accomplishment from the whole deal. Like I had finally managed to buck the system or like a street performer when some one drops him a ten spot. Edited March 9, 2007 by Laozi People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Most of the little things I've already done, and most of the bigger things become less likely - or less desired - all the time. I'm kind of in the middle as far as 'dreams' - sometimes I like talking about wild what-ifs/maybes, but I won't be upset if they never happen. For myself, contentment comes from the the small day to day stuff. But let's see... Stay married to the same person till I die: to be determined, but it looks good Owning a house: we've been frustrated by this one for about a year, but we're currently trying to negotiate to buy this house we've been living in/renting for around a decade. Funny how that works. We'll see. Spend a summer in the Alaska wilderness (with lots of expensive camera/video equipment of course): Unlikely, but not too impossible. Become a professional nature photographer who travels all over the world for photos: Dream - I'm not that motivated Own 5000+ acres and build big cat sancturaries: Dreamin' and then some “Things are as they are.

Gorgon Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I have no ambition to do anything unless I feel I have to or get inspired. That happens just often enough to keep me from being a complete failure. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

Musopticon? Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Zing. My dream is to take the train in two hours and go visit my parents and have a night out with my friends afterwards. Simple, eh? I like it that way. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
