Things To Do Before You Die

[thomas]

So, this is a topic that piqued my interest about an hour ago, and I've been googling a bunch of stuff.

What are some of the things you want to do/experience before you die?

Here's some of the stuff I've come up with:

- Create a videogame
- Learn to draw
- Write a song
- Watch all of the best films and tv shows
- Bungee jump/parasail/a bunch of other stuff like that
- Learn to cook really well
- Learn another language fluently
- Learn to dance
- See the seven world wonders (one down, six to go)
- Travel a ton more (especially Asia/South America)
- Try LSD or Mushrooms

You'll notice the distinct absence of kids and marriage on my list, haha. Anyone wanna go next?

-Live

[ehead]

- Fap
- *boing*
- Threesome
- Discover the secret to immortality

...... Seriously though, here are some immediate thoughts:
- Travel the world
- Create a full-length film
- Become a professional lawyer
- Help the folks so that they'd no longer need to work
- Start an animal shelter

I haven't considered marriage or having my own family yet. Still consider myself top young for that. But I'd like a waifu too. lol

This thread is kind of weird. Mainly because I don't like thinking about death. I never really thought about this topic... but I'd really like to have my own family and a kid or two one day.

Im definitely not the kind of man/dude that plans ahead, so I dont have a list. The first thing would be finishing my studies and then study more. There are a lot of books I need to read, too.

Also, Im working in this project, or projects actually. One is a comic book, the other are some short stories and the last one is this "bigger" story. The comic is done, I just need to draw it, so that should come first.

In the end, I would love to be a father and a wise wizard when Im old.

I would like to go into space.

Hmm, this is tricky. Here's a few ideas:

-Travel. Always wanted to travel. Preferably somewhere very hot because I hate cold weather :P
- Meet that special someone (see: ehead's post)
- Learn another language (Before I do that I have to learn Kanji first *shudder*)
- Drive a Supercar in real life :P
- Learn to Ice Skate (I tried once but just ended up falling over a lot)
- Complete my infinite backlog of Anime and Games
- Banish the entire Chav population from the United Kingdom
- Hug Miyamoto and tell him I love him.
- Hug all of my ridiculous anime crushes and them I love them

Aw, Tiggu wants a waifu.

Seriously, get out there and travel as soon as you can, preferably before you're tied down with a significant other and a baby on the way. It really doesn't have to cost much if you're clever. Travel off-season, couchsurf (I've done it a ton), don't do super-touristy stuff, or even work while traveling. That being said, holy crap is Japan expensive.

I prefer warm places too but really, really want to see Iceland. So pretty.

And yeah that backlog thing's never gonna happen for me :(

[Windstar]

I also don't really have a list because death is just a depressing topic and I consider myself a lazy person who gets by on the bare minimum.

But off the top of my head:
- Find a special someone. I don't plan on marriage but it seems like that's what everyone expects nowadays so I don't know
- I'd like to visit another country (in europe most likely). Though not alone. I think if I can't share that with another, it's meaningless for me.
- Find decent jobs to live off of. I'm not an overly ambitious person. There's only a few careers that actually interest me like comics, writing, and animation but I suck at drawing and I really just have no idea how to go about any of that.
- Do two years of college at least. Hopefully in some form of art and creative writing so I can at least draw and write for fun.

You know, I dont like "travelling" that much. Then again, for a while "traveling" was camping with school. Man, I still have some nightmares. Now that I have traveled with my family, I like it and there are a lot of places I would love to go. I guess what Im tying to say is that I didnt want to travel because I was traumatized by staying in a goddam tent (full of other people) in the ass of the world without a toilet.

- Become fluent in a second language
- Live overseas
- Write a book/make a feature film/create a game that isn't awful
- Learn to play the keytar
- Get married and have a kid (NOT URGENT)
- Come up with more stuff because this list is kind of boring

I'm already kind of tied down :/ I have college for about 2-3 more years and then maybe Uni for two more :s Then it's off to get a job...

I'd like to visit another country (in europe most likely)

When you go to Europe make sure you come to the UK! Where I live is a bit boring but places like London are awesome (as long as you don't mind crowds of people)

@Gabo: I was on crutches when my school went camping so I got away with that one xD

You can't take a gap year, Tiggu?

I have mixed feelings about the UK. It has gorgeous architecture, but terrible weather; lovely accents, but plenty of asshats; a great music scene, but bad (native) food.

[TiggyPudding]

Hmm, guess I could take a gap year. It never occured to me before.

And to be honest I don't like most traditional British food either. I love Chip Shop Chips but that's the only thing I can say I really like. Desserts are better but still not great.

[Windstar]

I would prefer to start with a foreign country that speaks english :P I really have no idea how people get around in countries like Germany or Italy. I would feel awkward trying to communicate with people using hand signals.

And that's a lot of school Tiggu o_O is that for game design or something?
