What is on your list?
 

And by list I mean the list of things you want to do before you die. Some of you might not have one, some might have a semi one and others have their list written down on a mythical piece of paper stashed away in their safe.

I've only recently started figuring out a list for myself. But I found it an important thing to do because I've started to realize life is quite short when you think about it.

I have not written down my list as of yet, so I'll add things as the topic progresses and I remember idea's I've had. But here's a basic rundown of things in no particular order:

- Visit Chernobyl on a tour guide. The only ghost town on earth, I want to have seen it with my own eyes before I go.

- Go to Las Vegas and stay in a hotel along The Strip. May not seem like a big deal but because of time and money (trip to Vegas strip isn't cheap) I'm not even sure when I get to do this.

- Check out the USS Midway in San Diego. I'm a US Navy lover and I want to have set foot on a carrier at least once in my life.

- Have a face to face with a tiger. This one is obvious, but it would so seriously own if I could pet and cuddle a grown tiger and walk away without a scratch.

- Work on a Hollywood production. Since I'm going into the media business (dunno as what yet, could be from a light tech to editor, I haven't made up my mind yet) I want to have my name in the credits of a major Hollywood production at least once. Right there in the huge list of behind the scenes employees I want my name :p.

- Fire a real gun. Easy enough to do but haven't gotten around to visiting a firing range yet.

- Firing a real machine gun. Might be a bit more tricky.

- Participate in a professional Airsoft match at least once. Military precision and air soft weapons of any sort, from hand guns to land mines.

These are all the things I've placed on my list at some point in history. There's prolly more but I'll come up with them as we go.

What's your list?

-Purchase a Minigun (Legal in the states!)

-Hunt with said Minigun (also legal)

-Visit some foreign country or another. Preferably something European.

-Write and Direct a movie. Not necessarily difficult, but the production would be.

-Write a book. Or Twelve.

-Take a train tour of Russia

-Own an English Bulldog, Irish Wolfhound, or Giant pit bull (This dog is made up).

I'm not really thinking big, but meh.

-In some way instigate all of your deaths.

-Learn over twenty different musical instruments (I had better get cracking)
-Kill somebody that I don't like (preferably when I'm about to die so that there are no real consequences).

Also, I was half expecting a thread about Schindler's List.

-Have a family and be able to provide a more than decent standard of living for them

-Learn at least one, if not two, musical instruments up to a high degree of competence

-Raise my own dog, preferably an Alsatian, Husky or wolf hybrid, something strong and beautiful

-Superficially explore the world, in particular I'd like to visit Alaska, Moscow, Japan, Australia and Egypt

-Gain a Doctorate

-Master an armed western martial art

-Write a novel that will be remembered

-Make a lasting name for myself in either psychological research or philosophical studies.

-Get some species of large, intelligent bird to be my companion.

-Publish a series of novels and illustrated books about my constructed world.

-Run for a political office by telling my potential voters exactly what I really think of them and their ignorant, apathetic, fickle nature.

-Get the word "meh" taken back out of the dictionary.

-Spend quality time with a clan of spotted hyenas in Ngorogoro crater.
-Own a set of quality made Saiyan armor, and preferably also a set for my dad.
-Start a collection of bird wings.
-Hitch a ride on ALVIN to the bottom of the ocean.
-Discover a new species of dinosaur, name it Calvinosaurus.
-Get kissed. But this one is pretty unlikely.
-Dress in a flattering way just once, even if no one is around.
-Play with thermite.
-Move to Middle of Nowhere, Wyoming.
-Be made fun of by a famous parody program.
-Do something extremely silly in front of a million people.

There's more, but they get weirder from there.

As funny as some of those are, I was aiming for more serious replies :p.

Hey. I fully intend to get away with everything I can from that list. Especially the hyenas. Oh, and

-Come the human-instigated apocalypse, become a caravaneer. Mules are mandatory.

- Meet Charlie and Olly.
- Live somewhere by myself (as opposed to my current flatting situation)
- See some more of my favourite bands live (involves travelling overseas)

Pretty lame list, I know. I used to have goals but I've given up on them.

I'll break this down into gaming and non-gaming

Gaming;
- Buy an Xbox 360
- Play MGS4 at least once

- Learn the Meaning of Life
- Convert the Bible into Sligspeak by hand
- Watch all 3 LOTR special edition movies back to back without a single break

Lose my virginity.

I did this a few months ago. It accomplishes nothing but develop an unrelenting vehemence for slow motion and the impracticality of medieval combat.

I also did that, fucking awesome 6 hours of my life :D

My list:

-Lose Virginity

-Become a world respected scientist

-Win the Nobel prize for Scientific Acheivement

-Go to Oxfords and graduate

-Write a novel

-Go and see Oasis or R.E.M. live

-Become rich

-Get married (or not) and have kids

- Try various Drugs.

'bout it for me :D

Don't ever watch LOTR with a medieval reenactor, an archer or anyone who knows the first thing about military strategics. I have done so with all three.

Or anyone with the capacity to tell the difference between good film making and bad.

Did you put that in your ad? Because that's a rather odd group of people to be watching a film with just by chance.

I watched a marathon with my medieval reenactment group, which contains a former Scottish Archery Champ and a Sandford Graduate.

I decided to do a bit of research on medieval war tactics, and discovered this little gem on Wikipedia:

Nobody gives a fuck.

- Write a book.

- Be one of the programmers in a game.

- Act in a creepy movie as the villain.

- Meet Death/The Grim Reaper if he exists, before I die.

- Have a chat with him.

- Like cofee.

- Find a way to erase the radiation at Chernobyl effectively.

- Find a way to see life through another persons eyes.

- Make a game on my own that sells at least seven dollars.

- Watch a person on ecstacy.

- Find a way to make a virtual reality shooter and make the first title Doom.

- Make an undercover agency that hinders scientists from discovering what things really are. EG. things that aren't explainable and making Jurassic Park a reality.

- Get a fedora and wear it in the scary movie I'd play in.

- Compose a peice of music that impresses some of the "best" composers alive at that point.

-Run a marathon and finish.

-Do something only an eccentric billionare would do.

That's my list so far.

Would that be Sandhurst by any chance ?? :fuzconf:

Nobody gives a fuck.

Aren't I a stinker?

Fly-kick OANST.

Plant a tree.

Punch the SLT member in my school.

Be in the theatre.
