Things you want to do before you die...
 
Everyone has tacky "hopes 'n dreams." So quit being such a shy bastard and share 'em.
  • Experience a meal with fine french wine and cheese.
  • Quit my high school job in a rude and flamboyant manner. I hate working at a grocery store.
  • Cast a vote for a party I can actually believe in.
  • Publish an indie comic book.
  • Live in a studio apartment in some large city for an unspecified amount of time.
  • Make a succesful video game.
  • Settle down with the girl of my dreams for some white picket fence American dream shit.
  • Become good enough at a video game so I could compete in a tournament and actually pose a threat.
  • Travel to Japan.
  • Retire and move to Arizona.
  • Become dictator of a small, third-world island.
  • Conquer Nova Scotia with my army of malnourished third-world slave children.

Majic 03-14-2004 02:46 PM

  • Grow old, and live on a decent fixed income.
  • Two chicks at once.
  • Own an Acura TL. I try to keep my car hopes reasonable.
  • Have a perfect week. I know what it'll be when it comes around.
  • Stay in an extremely nice hotel.
  • Go shopping without any budget woes.
  • Eat a good meal, without thinking of the later consequences.
  • A day with no work, no fear of work, and no thought of work.
  • Find out exactly what I want to do for a career.
  • Take trips around the country, and badmouth stupid celebrities and politicians.
  • Meet a couple of people off the forums.
  • Make some sort of discovery or find that's uniquely mine.
  • Have two females compete for me. Flattery is a great thing.
  • Be able to sit down and have a reasonable interview with my grandparents and then parents about what their lives were like. Might have to do this pretty soon for the elderly.
  • Attend a perfect party. Once again, I'll know when I've been.

There's more, of course. No list is ever complete. I'll probably think of some. Maybe even seconds from now. But since I won't feel like editing my post, they'll have to wait until later and hopefully not be forgotten.

TheRaisin 03-14-2004 05:16 PM

First, I have to say that's a much more morbid title than something like, "What You Want to Do With Your Life."
Okay, in no particular order:

1. learn Japanese (I can start on this one next year)
2. travel to Japan
3. live in Tokyo for a period no shorter than a month or so
4. get a mustard yellow Vespa moped with a big P on one side, just like Haruko has, and tour northern Japan
5. get married to... a person... this one person, in fact, that I know... I like her... a lot
6. do, y'know, *that* with a person I actually care about
7. live in Seattle
8. graduate from the University of Washington with at least a 4-year degree
9. be a voice actor for at least one high-quality, fairly well-received animated series (Kevin McDonald, Nick Bakay, and Richard Horvitz are like, my heroes in that category)
10. become some sort of scientist, either a herbologist, a geneticist, or some kind of scientist of physics, chemistry or biology, in a position where I can somehow make the world a better place
11. make my political views known, in an attempt to end the ridiculous governing of our world
12. become a manga-style artist and/or a writer (I don't care if I'm well-known... maybe an indie)
13. dabble in computer game programming and the stock market
14. make at least one person happy every single day of my life
15. be happy myself every single day of my life
16. be financially secure, with enough money to do the things I want to do
17. get a happy and meaningful ending to MegaTokyo... I always like it when the geeky, low self-esteem, nice guy gets the equally nice, attractive, intelligent, quirky and funny girl, simply because of his personality and intelligence and not because of his physical appearance, and because deep down they were absolutely made for each other, and the way it's being set up, Piro and Kimiko seem like a match made in heaven, only they both have low self-esteems and Piro is kind of clueless, and Kimiko recognizes Piro as someone who really understands her, but she hasn't realized that he likes her, nor admitted to herself that she likes him, and meanwhile all these things are going on, and I really hope Piro ends up with Kimiko, because I really like a happy ending and I can definitely relate to Piro, liking a girl a lot but thinking she doesn't like him, only in MegaTokyo she really does like him, so maybe the girl I like likes me too and if I just worked up the nerve and told her I like her she would tell me she likes me and everything would be okay

P.S. Don't let my rant turn you off from MegaTokyo. It's not just romance, it has a perfect balance of the sci-fi, the fantasy, the parody sci-fi and fantasy, the action, the high-brow comedy, the slap-stick, the romance, all just thrown in together with a cast of colorful and deep characters and portrayed in both excellent dialogue and quality manga-style art.
P.P.S. Hey wow, I just realized how many goals I have! Why am I still sitting around all mopy and not determined like a fat couch potato? I can reach those goals, dammit! I'm going to reach them!

[*]Retire and move to Arizona.[/list]

Why?

It sucks here.

Last week on one day it was about 63 degrees, then the day after it was 93. I'm not even exaggerating. There is absolutely no transition from our 2-month winter to our 10 month summer.

oddguy 03-16-2004 05:52 AM

Ah, so that's why your location says "naked.":p

I went to Arizona once and really enjoyed myself. Hiking to anasazi ruins and whatnot is loads of fun. I've always enjoyed Native American mythology 'n ruins 'n stuff.

And if I were to move after I retired, I wouldn't mind the warm temperature. I would probably shoot for Phoenix or Flagstaff or something.

Man, bring on one of your mall escapades and I'll bring my bat... and a guitar.

Majic 03-16-2004 02:19 PM

Arizona sounds nice. Not only does it have a wicked name, but isn't there some serious humidity lacking there? In Dallas, after everytime it rains, it's hot, humid, and miserable. Though I'd probably miss the heavy thunderstorms and whole suburb-of-a-giant-metroplex feel if I retired from my place.
