After a deep reflection on myself, while listening to Brothers on a Hotel Bed, Near Life (Embrace), and An Olive Grove Facing the Sea (Snow Patrol), I mellowed out enough to decide on things I want to do before I die. I haven't come up with much, but the following are experiences I want to have had...

1. Fall madly in love with someone who is just as much in love with....and is just as strange as me.

2. Create a short quirky film about nothing of any consequence.

3. Read the Bible from front to back.

4. Listen to music for 24 hours straight.

There's more....some too personal to list, others too long. I believe that life is made up of what experiences we have had....we watch movies, read stories, and listen to music and pretend to experience things that are beyond us, and yet we haven't...but when u actually experience it, the meaning changes forever. For example....wouldn't What Sarah Said feel completely different to you if it actually happened to you? It did to me....
Anyway...what would all of you like to have experienced before you die?

great thread!

i'll get back to you lol

Marcabe thread, but I have a list, so I'll transcribe it at a later date.

Whoa, deep thread! I don't have a list or a plan, i just want to have loads of great memories. I have this shoebox that i put sentimental stuff in, like tickets and notes people have written me so i can remember them because i suck at remembering stuff.

Meet Death Cab.

Have my own bakery

Decide what I want to do with my life.

Go to Europe

Take an unphotoshopped picture for MySpace

Go into space.

Listen to nothing but Bob Dylan for an entire week.

I guess that's it.

ME TOO!!
I collect ticket stubs, and random paraphernalia from trips, or just periods of time in my life.

Here are some more....

Go to a concert (I know its blasphemy that I haven't, but my parents are paranoid, and refuse to take me to Madison Square Garden....and whenever a show is elsewhere, I'm not able go...)

See the Northern Lights

Swim in a lake in a jungle

Have a 'Walden' of my own (preferably in the Bahamas )

Get a job that I am never unhappy with

Learn an instrument

Go to all my teachers, and thank them personally for the knowledge they gave me

Apologize to everyone who wronged me

That's all I can think of for now....

Oohhh....the Northern Lights are amazing sometimes. I think we take them for granted here. I suppose I'll miss them when I move though. I love looking at them at night from my hot tub.

That has to be an amazing sight....yeah...I'm editing mine to see the northern lights...in a hot tub


another to add to my list....

Go streaking

I have one binder from middle school full of notes etc. and one for high school. I've kept a journal since 7th grade too. I'm definatly a rat pack. I think everything has a memory behind it.

ok these are in no particular order, just off the top of my head:

1. get my poetry book published

2. overcome the burdens that have been placed on my life and become successful

3. Forgive my father, and myself

4. Learn to play guitar and write songs

5. Be Brave enough to move away and be independent and then be brave enough to fall in love.

6. cut off all my hair (not like britney though)

7. Raise an awesome child lol

8. meet someone famous!!

9. get front row tickets to something!

there are more i'm sure i just cant think of them on the spot.

I feel confident that I'll die knowing i lead a meaningful life. There is no way I'm not going to be a musician. That's a done deal.

here's another couple....

Spend a summer night under the stars.

Swim in a lake that has a waterfall on a summer night.

(I say summer, because I would NEVER want to do either when it was not hot out [no, not even warm])

I completely agree. You're redeeming yourself quite well, interpolarity! Good thread, and good ideas.

I'm studying to be a teacher, and my absolute biggest goal is making a difference in someone's life. I would love that gesture if it ever happened to me.

i would like to win the world series of poker once. money, fame and a bracelet.

i actually made a list like this a year or 2 ago. and i've actually done alot of it. so yay
