Yea and have sex and then have kids .
I'd definitely like to have kids before I die, and I'd love to turn them into better people than I am. Yea....that'd be nice.

ok ... there i go ...
trip into the dessert, paint the "atomium" (i.e. an iron construction, built for the world exposition in 1958 in brussels) pink (for those people here who love pink), visit another planet, build a house under the sea (saw this in a james-bond-movie), learn as many languages as possible (which includes understanding the "finesses" of other cultures), ...
and because all this is not possible in one lifetime ... i guess i have to come back ...

Florre, although I think you meant to write desert, the spelling mistake is a much better idea, and i'm adding a trip into a dessert to my list! yummmmm

I am one of the very few guys I know that has mostly lived out everything I could wish.
1) I'm married to the most intellectually stimulating, funny, and beautiful woman I know.
2) I have a daughter who fills my life with insurmountable joy.
3) I’ve done all those crazy sexual things most guys dream about (the wife is as much a pervert as I).
4) My name is not Bruce.
5) I climbed to the top of the Berlin wall the night it opened.
6) I’ve been to an impoverished country, and it taught me to appreciate the things I have.
7) I’ve visited a tropical paradise – a real one, not a tourist trap like Hawaii.
8) I own several first edition printings of H. P. Lovecraft’s work, signed by him.
9) I have the complete Monty Python’s Flying Circus on DVD!
One thing I would like before I die?
To be able to practice Poi for 5 minutes without hitting myself between the legs.

i understand completely Pyro, that's my goal as well. Just to be happy with everything the way it is. Throw away the expectations and desires. I wonder how much beauty and joy i miss every day because i'm too distracted with the fuddy stuff.
Strive to Love everything for exactly what it is. Even though you can never understand all the extents of anything.

I've been incredibly lucky and managed to achieve a lot of my early life ambitions already - make my parents proud, win a twirling competition, abseil down some big huge cliffs, put on some wicked parties, learned to surf (can't remember much now though - doh), go to Australia and to Russia... and most recently I finally went Skydiving two weeks ago, what an awesome experience.
My life right now is as perfect as I can ever think of it being. Apart from having a big pile of cash so I don't need to work, of course.
Still got plenty to do though. Want to take the love of my life back to Australia with me and show him why I loved it so much, and also I haven't managed to get to Africa, NZ or much of SE Asia yet either, so I really wanna do those.
Other than that I would love for my man to be able to work doing what he loves (music) and for me to find what it is that would fulfil me for work and do that. And be happy and healthy and have the same for all those around me that I love.
Oh, and really get good at contact on my double staffs. I've not been practising much lately. Bad girl.
Why is it that everthing which is fun is illegal, immoral, or fattening?
