I got things to do before I die...
Namaste
Regular
So today, my friend and I got to discussing... well, a lot of things, for very short periods before ending up on the next topic. But at some point we got onto the subject of death, and I got to thinking about it. I've done very little worth doing in my life, and there are some things I'd like to do before I die...
So I was wondering, what do y'all want to do before you die?

I DON'T HAVE MANY THINGS I WANNA DO. No aspirations really.
"Contribute something important to human development" isn't very specific, but it's all I got.
Maybe I'll write a book one day too but it'll probably suck. Why write a book if it's not going to be good, right? Ha. Something about the average best seller seems uninspired to me, so maybe not being a skillful writer will work to my benefit.
Pretty much this. I want to try to do anything I desire, the key word here is try that's were all the fun is at. If I could just have everything thing and do everything without any effort than life wouldn't be very fun.
I answered I want to write a book. I mean yeah, I want money too just like everyone else, but I want to write a book because I like books and fiction in general. I want to be a part of that. I don't want to write what will sell, unless 'what will sell' also happens to be the story I was going to write anyways.
Writing a good book that I was proud of would be enough for me. Even if I'm not NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER. Fuck it, even if I don't win a genre-specific award. As long as a few people picked up my book and enjoyed it, what more could I ask for? If a couple fucked up nerds can be happy in a world I created in their heads from nothing but words on a page, I'd be pleased.
Sure the money is great and is a nice incentive, but am I really the only one left who thinks it's just a bonus? I mean I'm not saying I look down on you or anything, but I can't look up to you either. It's fucking sickening to be honest. How can that really be the only thing you can think of?
Like I don't know, maybe I want a family you know? A girl, a guy, whatever. Someone to love and love me back. Maybe a couple kids if that's how things turn out. I wouldn't mind one if it was my own. Probably. I know I don't want any now, but the future is another story.
Hell maybe some friends would even be nice. I don't mean I want to be well connected with 'friends' everywhere, but a few good people in my life who I knew I could rely on would be nice. If they relied on me as much as I relied on them we'd get along swimmingly, because for the most parts we'd have our own asses covered.
I mean obviously I would need some money to do any of that, but this is about what you want to do before you fucking die. And all you can think about it money. That's the most important thing to you people. And making more of it is all that matters before you die I guess. Fuckin' sickening.
I said I wanted to make humanity better not because I wanted money but because I wanted people's lives to be easier/happier/better. I mean anything that can do all those things is incredibly valuable, but I don't actually care about the money. I just want to see to it there's a better future for humanity.
What the fuck? Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe the money isn't the most important to you. But that's definitely how it seems. I'm not sure whether there's something wrong with me, or if I'm the only sane one left.
But then, mine are probably no good though. Honestly, there are things I just like want to find out before I die... I wanna like learn things, but I suppose when I'm dead that's no good anyway, so would it really matter?
ok thats pretty bad ass bro
THIS!
lol, no but seriously
Writing has been a bit of a passion of mine since I was in like second fucking grade. The idea of being able to create a world that is all your own using nothing but pen and paper seems so awesome to me. Before I die I would like to write a fantasy novel. Not lord of the rings type bullshit with elves and all, but a world that is all my own with concepts and idea that no one else has ever even fathomed before. I want someone to pick up my book and be thrown into a world where they truly will have no idea whats going to happen next, not 'oh I bet he'll destroy the stupid ass ring at the end' or 'I hope he fucks that slutty princess he's been trying to save'. I want to create something with so much depth and meaning it jumps right off the pages and cock smacks the reader across the face. I would like to publish a few more average books before that happens just because its more realistic and can actually happen, but it would be nice before I die to create the most epic tale that has ever and WILL ever be created.
I sort of did too, but then I realize I suck at writing and I've had writer's block for like a year.
Best thing I've seen in this whole thread. That sounds like, epic.
Yeah me too. I still do. Well, it's not writers block so much as stage fright. I don't want to write anything because I don't want my dreams to be crushed.
how ironic. I remember feeling that way before too but then I realized I don't give a shit about other people... If you truly dreamed of being a writer arnt you crushing that dream yourself right now by not writing?
Yeah, I can relate...
2. Hitchhike around Europe (The part that doesn't suck) and N. America (No Mexico)
3. Meet Jonah Hill and become best friends
4. Become a hacker and just wreck shit up
5. Get on perez hilton's shitlist.
6. Make a successful website/forum
That's all for now.
Not at all. Because one day... I'll write my masterpiece! Just out of the blue I'll be like "yup, it's time" and pump out my novel in a day or two. Yeah.
Totally how it's going to work.
Definitely.
...
Really though, with the way things are right now I'm keeping my dream safe. Call me Momma Bird, 'cause I'm treating it like it's my unborn baby birdy. If I write something it'll hatch and I'll keep writing and feeding my little baby bird, until it comes time for it to fly. The publisher is gravity, and if you've ever seen a dead baby bird at the base of a tree, you'll understand that gravity is a bitch to overcome even if you think you're made for the job.
Learn to fly-
Have at least one kid-
Find a nice girl, get married, etc, etc.-
Conceded much haha
Maybe even take a trip over to the americas, hitchhike thru the NW coast of the US and Canada. Or travel it by boat.

Uh... good luck with that...

Brock you are a fucking stud. And that show is amazing. That is all.
Thank you, sir.
Haha well then what would you like to do before you turn 100 then mr increadable.
THIS, nothing is more important; I want ultimate power!
I also don't plan on dying.
I'm going to write a fantasy epic that I've been planning since highschool, have many children, and...reach enlightenment. Thats pretty much it. If I could help the world as a speaker or a teacher that would be beautiful. Gotta kill my massive ego first though.
