Inspired by this weeks p-o-y
Do you have a 'to do list' of things you hope to do before you die?
Let's see... before I die, I'd like to:
- Have the rest of those vestigial limbs removed. They are such a pain, especially when you are at a movie where they play romantic orchestral music. For some reason, that gets my little buddies all worked up! They are just a bunch of softies, I guess... It doesn't bother me so much, but if someone next to me is eating one of those huge buckets of popcorn, it can be a problem. Let's leave it at that.
- Sue those stupid tabloids for invasion of privacy. What I do in the abandoned ruins of a medieval cathedral is my own darn business! Stupid paparazzi...
- Make my peace with the fact that I'm over 30 and still have not destroyed any worlds. Not any.
- Finally find out where I left that box with my poisonous snake collection in it. I think I must have left it on the bus. Boy, I miss those fellows. I hope someone found them a good home.
- Get Martha Stewart to do a special issue devoted to dank castles. Her incarcerated status may delay this, but I figure she'll have a few good years left in her when she gets out, unless she gets my cousin Suzie as a cell mate. Suzie, if you're reading this, I've hidden all of those... er ... that stuff... wink,wink
- Be the guy with the house of which all the neighborhood kids are scared.
Update! A reader has just pointed out that I already hold this distinction! So, I'm going to raise the bar and try to also be the guy who is in all the campfire stories! You know the type I mean. The ones that start "You know the guy who lives in that old house at 001 Cemetery Lane in Greenbriar? Well, I heard these two kids decided to..." etc...
I think that about covers it. I tend not to have too many long term goals because in my business your better off remaining flexible. Never know when you are going to have to make a quick change of direction or flee the country when your plot has been exposed.
Send me a note or an email or an IM and let me know if you think I should add anything to the list.
Reading Your mind. And you should be ashamed!
Wishing that wishes were horses, so beggars could ride. That would be cool!
