What do you want to do before you die?

Undergod

Travel lots.

Be a hyperglot.

Get in a bar fight in really, dirty mean bar.

Get published.

Take up some more instruments.

Be rich enough to have a nice life and fund and take part in voluntary work.

At least once, have a part in the staging/execution of a massive (and massively subversive) public event.

Actually get proper training in Wing Chun, and also iado, taekwando, shotokan, gracie ju-jitsu, aikido and whatever else takes my fancy.

I would like to:
Travel all over the world
Volunteer in the developing world
Read as many great works of literature (and the crap ones too, i guess) as possible
Live in other countries
Become fluent in at least 3 non english languages
Have a family, or adopt
And not to make the world worse, than it already can be

Feral Mutant

These are a little unrealistic but anyway:
Develop superpowers
Become a multibillionaire
Build a spaceship, fly it across the galaxy then get bored and come home
Live past the age of 100
Somehow stop myself from ageing
Cross a few names off my enemies list
Collect various medieval/modern weapons and blades
Find someone special
Finally get around to watching Ring 2

And after that's all done I want to come back to my homeland with all the knowledge and wisdom I have gained
And rule with an iron fist

Piste

Everyone I can




You did say who, right?

PurpleFistMixer

Oh god, threads being dragged up, oh god.

I want to do so many things it's difficult to count. But if I were to assume that I will die tomorrow- before I die; I want to finish writing a cover letter for some work experience, and get a drink. And also to figure out what the correct punctuation for the preceding sentence was. However the cover letter takes priority currently.

Another one I just thought of: C9ome up with a retort so witty and hilarious that it becomes iconic.

.Be known as that eccentric billionaire with the really weird, pointless mansion filled with secret passageways and upside down basket ball courts.
.Leave clues to a secret treasure that after Im gone, my ancestors will waste much energy and time looking for only to find that the treasure is love or plutonium or something.
.Have pr-created my own, worlds most philosophical tombstone.
.Have lots of kids, a job and wife I love and to never be without Dr. Pepper.
.YAAAAAAAAARRRRRR

Yore Ma!

It wasn't me!

It wasn't me! wrote:

Be the world's most famous and best loved musician.

Leave behind a really cool legacy.

Spend time in jail. (Don't ask)

Try more or less everything life has to offer.

Finally figure out what life means to me and what I want to do with it.

Have at least one really great relationship.

Commit a massive, victimless crime. eg. Assassinate George Bush. (Nobody but animal rights people will hate me):D

Just get my band to be big and just be remembered for all the work I'm currently putting into it. ie. A lot more than I'm putting into studying for my (pointless) junior cert.

Hmmm... Interesting to contrast my old wishes with my current ones. The only major difference is I don't think I want to go to jail and I'm musically unemployed at the moment.

Jim_Are_Great

In the following order:

1) Eat my own face.
2) Eat somebody else's face
3) Quit a Status Quo tribute act (preferably without ever actually being in one)
4) A big egg
5) Go a whole day without breathing, blinking or digesting food
6) Eat my own face
7)swim in a pool of Source and Apple Pie cookies
8) Drop out of barber college
9) Calculate the internet to eight decimal places
9) Grasp an eel
9) Immediately. Get.
9) Make an trippy, psychadelic, hugely influential album with many very iconic and famous characters gathered on the cover, surrounding me and my band (dressed in coulourful clothes). The bass drum around which we are standing will read "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club". The album will be entitled "Joe".

Undergod

Oh, this is an old thread. Much is revealed.

.Be known as that eccentric billionaire with the really weird, pointless mansion filled with secret passageways and upside down basket ball courts.

I want the wierd mansion from Thief: The Dark Project.

Cause an accident so that a certain Pte who thinks he is a Gnr ends up dead.

Not that you'll even care, for the moment, but banned. Permanently. Now to find out who you really are and ban you significantly, or, if I'm feeling really generous...permanently.

Creating an account to do something like this is sheer idiocy...and thinking we can't find out who you are is even more stupid.

Ever notice that the things we accept as inevitable always happen?? Like death for example. So maybe if you believe you'll never die you never will. Hmmm...

Dogbert has a theory that all great thinkers found out that gravity is an illusion and simply floated off the planet, which explains why everyone else is so dumb (At this pint, Dilbert came in to announce that 'Wheel of Fortune' was on).

Things i want to do;

Play dr. Frank N.Furter onstage

Become the President and go to Croke Park on All-Ireland day in a Cork jersey

Win an Oscar and melt it down to see how much it's really worth

Dress up as Charlie Chaplin

Organise a Beatles reunion

Discover a new colour (which i shall called Blurple)

Hmm..Well, I don't plan on dying, so this is a little pointless, but AHEM;
1) Find my talent (What I've found so far: It's nothing sport related)
2) Eat my weight in pancakes (every year I try and fail...)
3)Skydive(Alone. Into a jungle. A dense jungle.)
4)Coin some phrase( As popular as yore ma)
5)Sing well in front of people by myself (Preferably in a musical, like cabaret...)
6) Become infamous (But not in a Hitler kind of way)(In a porn star kind of way)(Or a Hunter S Thompson kind of way)
7)keep all of my original teeth (this stems from scary childhood memories...AHHHHH!)

I'll leave it there, not to set TOO high goals for myself.....

Spraypaint

My list for this is surprisingly short:
1)Die happy
2)with no regrets
3)having brightened up the lives of those I care about.
As far as I'm concerned, that covers just about everything.
A tombstone saying: " And you said I wouldn't go through with it" would also be appreciated but that falls under the umbrella of posthomous.

slasher_65

the only one that look like it could happen is.... FLASH MOB!
what about the next (october) reunion? flashmob goldendiscs, demand that treet style song, and lie on the ground waving our hands in the air?

JenLorigan

I want to:

- learn Latin in time to do as a Junior Cert subject. But that probably won't happen, so just learn Latin.
- learn various languages, Japanese and Greek being the only ones I can think of at the minute. And become fluent in Irish.
- get many shiny pretty things stuck in me.
- do something memorable in CTYI next year.
- improve at guitar and piano.
- work out what I want to do with my life.
- go bungee-jumping.
- travel lots.
- develop some sort of talent..
- draw/write more.

Well, you're all bored now, and I don't feel like writing more, so I aweh...

Karlusss

Write and record the best album of all time.

Figure out something clever to have on my headstone.

Be eaten by wolves.





Obviously the last would take place very soon before I die. And the one before would be almost immediately before that, as well.

I may post my own list on this later, I'll see, but I'm too lazy now.

You'll have no problem with it unless you're hopelessly inept with languages. Very hopelessly inept with languages. It's very, very easy.
