Coulda, woulda, shoulda...

[ABSTRUSE]

Since my new revelation in life has taken place I've been doing an immense amount of thinking.
There are many things on my list of "things to do before I die".

Things to do:

learn ballroom dancing.
take up fencing
drive a limosine
get in a real good bar fight
save a beached whale
hang gliding (even though I hate heights it still seems cool)
learn at least three new languages.
sculpt in stone
milk a snake
learn to do a tea ceremony

to name a few....

Places to see:

Egypt
Italy
Japan
Alaska
and possibly China or Africa
Madagascar

People To have a 30min conversation with:

Whoopie Goldberg
Cher
Tim Burton
Charly H ( in person for a change)

What about you? Anything you really want to do or see?
Make a list...add on if you have to later.

Abs.

My list has grown far shorter than it once was. A certain 30 min. conversation lady of yours has taught me many things, as she has taught many before me.

So, my list isn't really a list at all right now. I take much pleasure and happiness in everything I do. Now, later, I may definately be adding to that list.

Well, one thing that I want to do, which I am currently working on, is improving my body. I've gotten back to working out and am happy with that.

That's a me thing. So, I'll come up with a list later that looks set up like this:


Things I want to do to improve me:


Places I want to see and visit:


Activites I'd like to do:


People I would like to meet:


I think that about covers it for now. I'll fill in the gaps as I think of things.

Great idea ABS. Always look forward, learn what we can from the past, but move on and look forward to life.

I'll have to get back to you on this one.

I see you like the colder climates.

You can have a 30 min convo with me, you'll be captivated I'm sure.

 

[McKenna]

Yep, the colder the better, I think. I wilt in the sun.

As for this conversation ... shall we say witty repertoire at dawn on the banks of some exotic river (I'll make an exception, just this once, to venture to a warmer clime)? Wear a hat. I think it only fitting.

Fabulous I love hats, but I like the cooler climates too. I flash and burn in the sun. We can do Coffee in the Himalayas.

I'll build you one, send the specs.

That's do-able.

We need to dream to keep the hopes alive, even if they don't come true.

Well, those are my dreams. I have so little, even those things I mentioned are big.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Little is better than none.

 

[rgraham666]

Little is better than none.

True. That's why I hold on to them even though there isn't the slightest indication they'll ever come to pass.
