Five things to do before you die

[Domestic Diva]

If you could do absolutely anything before your time ran out, what would the top five things be?

These things could be easily attainable or merely fantasies - next to impossible to accomplish.

Can't really answer this honestly or this thread will be in the spam can faster than you can say 'booo!'

I don't know if you'll ever get to eat a waffle, but the rest looks doable.

1. Take a trip to Europe.
2. Lay on the beach in Hawaii.
3. Take my entire family on a cruise.
4. Ride historic route 66 from one end to the other.
5. Take a month long road trip dedicated to photography.

For today alone:
- go to the Ex
- shower
- get work done
- clean room
- go for a run

Hey, it's one of my goals. As far as I'm concerned "what other world"?

I've done most of the things I ever wanted.

Get science degree [check]
Own my own business(es) [check]
Retire before the age of 45 [check]
Travel the world [check]

I could go on but those are five of them.

Ferre, these are supposed to be things you haven't accomplished yet. *spank!* They're supposed to be outrageous goals - both potentially achievable or merely fantasy.

I was expecting you to put something like: "wipe the world clean of all organized religion" or "lead the fight on legalizing pot and win it!"

1) Learn to play the piano
2) Open my restaurant/catering business
3) Travel to many countries
4) See my children grow up to be happy and healthy adults
5) Go dancing with Gio

That Gio! He's such the belle of the ball!

I'll wait my turn. He claims he has lots of stamina.

Well, I'm not naive enough to think that I could make any difference in a world controlled by criminally insane sociopaths who have more money and are better organized than any individual could ever achieve.

My expectations have far less grandeur than that, besides I do not at all have the intention or the wish to end organized religion or lead the fight on legalize pot and win it.

However, being the chairman of the Legalize organisation in the Nethrlands I think everyone knows what I did achieve in that regard on my own local level, if it was not for people like me, the Netherlands would have submitted to the US and their indoctrination of countries to follow their insane drugs wars a long time ago.

What I listed are plain normal goals which most people have, and I am the living proof that "potheads" are not the stupid-lazy-bums the controlled media and governments want you to believe they are.

In fact, most dumbtwits who are unsuccessful in life I came accross during my lifetime are those who don't do psychoactive drugs.

One has to be real stupid or totally ignorant to reality to support counter producive laws and lifestyles in my opinion.

Having said that, I also don't feel obligated to change other people's view in life or their choice of religion, I'm happy as it is to be able to show people that there is more than one angle to approach problems and that is exactly what made my own personal success in the things I do.

Many people don't realize that they are the change they want, most people just wait-and-hope for it to happen.
