Over the past week with the skydiving and trips around the world posts I have been thinking a lot more about what it is I want to do in my time here on earth. I’m not talking about long term dreams about a career, but goals/adventures/activities/whatever you want to call them. I figured it would be kind of cool to see what others have done, want to do, or simply wouldn’t even think of trying. No idea should be ruled out as ridiculous. So post them up, I am looking for ideas.

My to do list (incomplete I’m sure)
-Skydiving (this summer)
-Learn to white water kayak (this summer)
-Compete in, not complete, a triathlon (this summer)
-An Ironman
-Animated into a Simpson’s character
-Complete the “Tough Guy” course (http://www.toughguy.co.uk/home.shtml)
-Hike the Appalachian Trail
-Ice climb
-Ski every major mountain in the US
-Become fluent in Spanish

97 RS- Runs, but never driven
2000 Subaru Outback- Daily Driver

travel...
leave the US for good....
fluent in spanish....
live 500ft. from ocean....
live off the land.....
buy my father a ferarri....
walk the great wall of china.....
meeet chuck norris (not really).....
compete in a strong man competition....

that's all i can think of now... most of my goals are on my fridge and in my wallet...

03 srt-4 13.130@112.47mph (n2o, stock turbo, 10/2003)
now: 20g, portfueler, bpu+++ (track/dyno times tbd...)

i farted on your wiki

I didn't say anything about traveling, good call.

Strong man competition? Are you currently training? That would be amazing.

Mine are not as deep or meaningful as you guys since I am very young, and havent started to experience anything near what you guys have, so these are going to sound stupid:

-Eat every major international food while IN the corresponding country (pizza in Italy, chinese in China, etc.)

-French kiss a hot french woman in France.

-Visit the most beautiful undiscovered spots in my country (Mexico), that arent swarmed with tourists.

-Skydive, or maybe even fly in a Glider.

-Visit Pompei, Athens, Rome, basically all those historical touristic hotspots.

-Visit all major Gothic Cathedrals.

-Visit Japan.

List goes on but the rest get personal, and really are dependant on alot of other things, while these I can definetly do as long as I live long enough.

*by the end of the next year compete in a full length marathon (Sub 4 hours)
*Before I'm 30 finish an Ironman
*Climb a huge mountain
*Backpack thru Europe
*munch on the biggest cock i have ever seen
*Visit India and Asia
*Travel to the Outback and rough it for a month
*skydive solo* and get certified



Just a few off the top of my head.. Some of them I'm currently training for. The marathon will be the easy one. I'm doing a 1/2 by the end of the summer, and a 10k in a few months. The 10k I'm looking at a sub 45 minute time. The 1/2 marathon I'm looking at sub 2 hours already, and I'm not done training. I think Europe might happen after I graduate school and have that grace period to pay student loans. Not sure on the rest.. maybe when I get some time off when I'm older.

Damn, I'm old. I already did a bunch of the crap wanted to do. My main goal now is to leave this world a little better than I found it (yeah, good luck with that).

Mike has been working on a 2.4L the whole time. He thinks he is sly but he isnt. What till he figures out his manifold isnt equal length, he will start over again.

I'd like to go home...



I'd like to drive my own car on the autobahn for once.

I'd like to spend an afternoon hearing Carlos Sainz talk about some of his favorite memories from WRC competition.

I'd like to spend more time with the sketch pad and some nice pencils.

* watch a great while attack a seal like on tv
* orbit the earh in a shuttle
* spend a couple years travelling
* drive an F1 car

* base dive or skydive
* learn spanish
* teacher of the year
* be that teacher that every child remembers as their favorite
* marry an awesome wife and have a kick ass family

Nope, there is no 2.4L in my line up. Try again.
