I was serious though even with the Braveheart quote. It's true. :)

4. Since you asked....

1. Get married.

[Djinn]

8. if you come to Australia

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!

[POed_Ex_Repub]

[PVnRT]

7. Get my fucking master's degree done

:grr:

[mdmc]

10. Try making a list

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.

6. Write the screenplay for a Johnny Depp movie that inspires awe and awards.
7. Win the lottery and give tons of money away
8. Back over Ann Coulter with an SUV bought with lottery money.
9. Go for beers with Robin Williams and Lewis Black.
10. Achieve world peace and cure cancer, using my lottery winnings, whilst at the same time, whomping Ann Coulter in the World Series of Poker.

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.

[mdmc]

13. I'd like to see a Green president

I think...

[ConcernedCanuk]

14. Cool answer !

We could use a PM like that too

[soleft]

[terrya]

16. Mine:

1) Move to Toronto and marry Doug.

4) Visit San Francisco (a 46 year old gay man never having visited Mecca...how strange is that?? :-)

4) Go up in a hot air balloon

5) Write a book (seriously, I think I'm an ok writer. I think there's a book in me)

6) Own an independent bookstore

[radwriter0555]

17. I'm seeing the Taj Mahal in November! Then a cruise down the Nile..

while visiting the Pyramids of Egpyt.

I've stood atop the Great Wall of China and the Eiffel Tower; I've boated on the Venice Canals and been in the Tower of London...

Machu Pichu is on the list.. Copper Canyon.... Galapagos Islands.

[bif]

18. Go to bed with three, beautiful 18-year old nymphomaniacs

Who will do anything. Second choice would be two, beautiful 18-year old nymphos.

[Loonman]

19. ....and film it

:)

[Goldberg]

22. Woah...that never crossed my mind! It should have!

Why have three when you can have five? :evilgrin:

[Wcross]

38. Yup, that will kill ya! Great way to go though. N/T

[grannylib]

20. Hmmm...here's mine:

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.

[amazona]

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!

[Kamika]

23. I want to fly in space

[Beaker]

24. celebrate my 800th birthday.

...just to watch him die.

[populistmom]

31. My goals are rather simple, yet elusive

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.

[GumboYaYa]

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...

[blazinjason]

35. Live long enough to see my son

attend college and graduate.

Travel, even take a Route 66 road vacation, blasting the song all the way.

[LWolf]

37. Spend years of

long happy days in my garden, with my horses, with my books, with no demands made on me, no wolf at the door, no crises to intrude.
