2. Move and live abroad. Check. Sure. Not where or how I wanted to.. but still.
3. Get in shape. Working on it. Depending on who you ask, I'm already in one.
4. Get a girlfriend. Check.
5. Get a home. Still no place I can feel settled in at. Or a country. Well, I might've found one.. but its the matter of getting there.
6. Gain immortality. That's a bit of a hard one, but I'm sure I'll manage somehow.
7. Become the God Emperor. Will be simple after I've gotten the number 6.
8. Get the human race to start conquering the universe. After I've gotten 7, should be able to get people put aside their petty differences and move on.
9. Create an army of supersoldiers in case there's anything else out there. With the 8 done, there should be enough made people shouting "For Science!" to make that happen.
10. Get some hot alien babes and .... well, you know.
A serious list of 10 things I want to do before I die...
1. Go into space - Been dreaming of it since I was a little kid. Even if its just the edge of space. I want to touch it.
2. Go back to school, get a history degree, teach at the college level an intriguing history course that hopefully passes on my passion for history to others.
3. Run for a political office. Living in Texas, my chances of winning are slim to none as I am not a Republican. But I may be close to running on a libertarian ticket in at most 5 years time.
4. Write a book. Its in my head, I just need to write it all down and find someone crazy enough to publish it. Its my view on politics and religion in the United States, combined with the history of both.
5. Visit some of the more interesting historical sights on the planet. Normandy, Berlin, London, Moscow, Hiroshima, you get the picture...
6. And probably the easiest on my list. Just watch my children grow up, and hopefully have some grandchildren to teach. My oldest is 11 now, its really pretty cool watching them. They are at the age where they are starting to really develop who they are. Finding themselves. Its pretty amazing.
7. Meet some of my idols. John Stewart, Kevin Smith, Clint Eastwood.
8. Have the ability to retire and not worry about money.
9. Get my dream car. 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible SS (I want a real one, x66 badged with matching numbers engine and transmission). I came real close to this about 4 years ago, had check in hand, and drove my truck 500 miles to Abilene TX only to have the asshole sell it out from under me. I don't want one thats already restored, I want to do it myself, but my skills are limited. It can't be rusted out. Needs not be missing things like engines or front ends.
10. Film the Kate Beckinsale Jessica Alba sex tape :D
Hmm, just because it will be interesting to see it in 10 years, heres mine:
1. Have a family
2. Walk on another planet
3. Have a masters in archaeometry and a doctorate in either archaeometry or archaeology
4. Have a drivers licence (easy)
5. Have a pilots licence (thanks for the inspiration SD)
6. Be a riksspelman (a badge of mastery for the National Folk Musicians of Sweden) on the Swedish Bagpipe
7. Be a riksspelman (same as above) on the Nyckelharpa or the Hurdy Gurdy (if its possible by then)
8. Release a book trilogy
9. Buy and/or build at least one house
10. Travel, meet up with a bunch of you guys in your native coutries or where you live
