Before I Die

Originally a Thursday Thirteen, I posted about the Thirteen Things to do before I die.

This is not an exhaustive list at all and I will be adding more things, updating some and scrubbing some as I do them. Here we go:

1. Kids. Definitely the number one item. I want kids. Sooner rather than later. I often worry about keeping the family line going, especially as my brother is likely never to have them.

2. Fly a helicopter. Not fly in one. Fly one myself. I want to get my helicopter pilots licence. Why? Because flying an aeroplane looks too easy.

3. Write a book. I love fiction. SF, fantasy, drama, SF/Fantasy Comedy (ala Terry Pratchett). I have loads of ideas, I just don’t know where to start. I have done minimal research into this so if anyone has any useful info or links/books, please can you let me know?

4. Get loads of money for one of my photos.

5. Write an awesome piece of music. Whether it’s dance, rock, classical or country I just want to write some music. I have absolutely no skill in this area at all!

6. Be able to play the piece of music I’ve written! Again, I have no skill in this area.

7. Invent something. Don’t know what, don’t care how, but I would love to create something that’s useful to someone else. It could even be something as simple as a decent wordpress theme…

8. Kill all the Chavs. Most of the American audience will not know what a Chav is. Have a look at Chavscum to get an idea. Is there a US equivalent? I suppose it would be trailer-park trash or a redneck? We had an idea the other night to start a new English Civil War. It would be called Chavaliers (Chavs) and Cone Heads (the educated middle class). The Cone Heads would win, reduce our population by about 50% and make the UK a much nicer place to live.

9. Own a supercar. I don;t care what it is, but if I own it I must have bought it which means that I have enough spare money to keep my family warm and happy.

10. Sleep with an A list celebrity. Keira Knightley would do. Failing that Billie Piper would be a close second. ;)

11. Run my own successful business. We have a plan, it’s just a case of implementing it and then making it successful…

12. Figure out immortality.

13. Not die trying to complete number 12.

14. Build a car. I have a Mini sat in the garage that I WILL restore/modify and get back on the road.

15. Build a bike. Preferably a custom, rat, hardtail chop. To do this is a HUGE undertaking. I need to learn to weld, spray, fabricate, monkey wrench (for the engine), and have the money to get all the parts I’ll need.

NEW 18-01-08 Not removed any of them yet but still adding to the list!

16. Play in the World Series Of Poker and finish in a money position.
