Before I die

[stephbg]

I would like to touch a tiger before I die. Not just before I die, but it's something I'd really really like to do. I'll be in Brisbane in December for a family wedding, so I looked up the Dreamworld tiger experiences. Would I pay $495 to touch a tiger*? Yes I would. I have e-mailed my first enquiry.

Tell me flist et al, what's on your BID list?

(*) For that money they also throw in a professional photographer. I wonder if they cut him up into little pieces first?

You're on fire! With funny! Those first two sentences and the footnote had me in giggles.

I'd like to learn to scuba dive, and then go scuba diving in totally awesome places. I used to snorkel in the limestone caves along the Swan River all the time and it has always left me wanting more.

I want to go to Japan and visit all the beautiful Mt Fuji-esque locations.

I would like to meditate with Zen monks and go to one of those Zen..monk...places... where nobody speaks, and stay there a week or two, not saying a word.

I want to visit my friend Stephen in England who I have known for ten years and never met! I'd also like to visit some friends in the Eastern states who became my penpals in 1997 and again, have never met in person.

I'd like to do some volunteer work that took me overseas for a few months, helping do something practical, my preference would be something to help the rehabilitation of flora/fauna. I'd like to do that in my own backyward too, mind you.

I want to have something published before I die. No, damnnit, SEVERAL somethings. Even if I publish it myself on a photocopier with some staples and finished pieces of my writing are read by like, ten people.

I'd like to announce something on the radio, because I love using my voice, but I'm not interested in acting. That or joining some kind of public speaking club.

I'd like to publish some kind of academic... thingy... and possibly get a doctorate through unusual collections of work spanning many years of on and off research.

If I marry, I'd like to have science fiction elements involved somewhere.

I want to swim with sharks and dolphins and anything else that will let me.

I would also love to touch a tiger.

I'd like to fly on one of those sub-orbital flights on Virgin Galactic, and if possible in my lifetime, walk the surface of another planet. Or transfer my mind into a digital form and let my simulacrum experience it a thousand years later.

So uhm... those are the ones I have thought of in the last ten minutes... going to stop now... ^^;

That's a great list :-)
