2. I wouldn't mind being married |
|
But other than that I've done everything I've ever wanted to do. Lucky, huh? Everybody dies. Not everyone really lives. :)

1. Get married.
2. Become a parent (or step-parent), and hopefully a damned good one.
3. Do whatever I can to help my country become the world's benefactor of peace and love, rather than its hated and feared big bully.
4. Become a published novelist.
5. See many of the old-time R&B and soul artists get at least some of the fame and money that their awesome talent deserves.
6. Visit San Francisco, Chicago, Tokyo, London, Africa, Australia, and my family's homeland of Italy, among other places.
7. Beat the living fuck out of the right-wing pundit of my choice.
8. Lose some serious weight!
9. See peace finally come to Israel and Palestine, not to mention India and Pakistan.
10. Finally own a car manufactured after Reagan left the White House.

you can stay with me and we can both go beat the living fuck out of a right-wing pundit of your choice. We have plenty here too! Personally I'd recommend a starter of Alan Jones, followed by some Zemanek and Satler to follow!

1] Of what you would like to do before you die. (take only 5 min) 2] Of what you would like to do in the next five years. (only 5 min) 3] Of what you would like to do in the next six months. (only 5 min) 4] Of what you would like to do if you knew that you would be dead in six months. (5 min)
I would like to help create peace, educate, and heal other beings. I believe that when you die, it is only these criteria upon which you are judged.
Life is about fulling these goals. I would also like to be an important artist, and politician, and see Tibet! And have a healthy family.

12. Wow, I can't think of a thing. i must be ready to go, no I'm not! |
|
This makes me realize that I've had a lot of great opportunities to do things in my life. There were some not so pleasant things in there, too, but they're not important.
I guess it's a question like this that makes me realize what we have. Husband, (step)children, grandchild, meaningful work, lots of travel, good education, basically good health (with help from modern medicine).
I'm not ready to go yet, but I can't think of anything that's left that I particularly want to do before I die.
Thanks for the question.

1. quit smoking 2. get in better shape 3. get my master's degree 4. take my hubby and daughter to Europe; I was lucky enough to get to travel there extensively in my younger years and I would like for them to see some of the places I found so fascinating, and some new places as well! 5. Find a job I love, can do well, and that won't get outsourced to another fucking country.

21. maybe it's because I'm already old but... |
|
...I've already done the only two things on that list I'm interested in doing, being in the stock market (I don't recommend it, but you'll have to see it for yourself) and having my own business (being self-employed stinks for a number of reasons and has become a dumping place especially for women who can't get decent jobs with all that entails especially the inability to get decent health insurance).
I hope I die before I get married. I have a funny feeling that when I read the replies to your post, A LOT of people will be saying that. No points for originality here!

31. My goals are rather simple, yet elusive |
|
Edited on Tue Feb-17-04 03:59 PM by populistmom
1. Continue moving forward career-wise and manage to make a difference in regards to the lives of other women because of it. Also, perhaps to increase a level of awareness in regards to lactation within women's health, and overall public health.
2. Have a truly equal, honest, and loving relationship with a man who can keep up with me in all respects and not be threatened by it, yet respect me, grow with me and cherish me at the same time.
3. To have my children complete their education, know they are loved and worthy, and fullfill their own dreams.
4. To be able to travel and see more of the world than I have been able to thus far in my life.

32. Have to break it down... |
|
People to see: 1. The Dalai Lama (hence my avatar) 2. Jimmy Carter 3. Brett Favre 4. Paul Newman 5. Robert Redford
Places to go: 1. The moon or another planet 2. South America (Brazil or Ecuador being the top two choices) 3. Europe (all of it, not a particular country - it's small enough to do that!) 4. Hawaii 5. Australia and New Zealand
Things to do: 1. Paddle the Mississippi, top to bottom 2. Build and move to a log cabin in the middle of a forest, right next to a lake 3. Learn to surf 4. Sky dive 5. Become financially self-sufficient so I can do all of the above

34. I want to see my children grow into healthy adults. |
|
I want to hold my grandchildren when they are infants and spoil them rotten from that point forward.
I want to dance with my wife on our fiftieth wedding anniversary.
I want to be that old grey-haired man at the concert that everyone asks "what is that old man doing here" about.
I want to make it to base camp at Everest. It used to be summit, but my wife made me promise not to ever try when we got married.
I want to run an ultra marathon.
I want to visit every continent in the world.
These can go on forever...
