"10 Things To Do Before You Die"

Just 10? I know, like me you probably have 1000s of things you want to do, places you want to visit, people you want to meet. But if you could pick just 10, what would they be? Here's some of my choices...


1. Swim with dolphins
I'm sure this is something that many people want to experience. They always seem so playful I just want to jump in the water and swim alongside them. They're very intelligent and they'll protect you from the sharks.

2. Visit Japan
The land of anime and Godzilla, I can't wait to finally visit Japan after all these years. Vending machines that vent panties, futuristic toilets, love hotels, Hello Kitty, etc. There's something for everyone in Japan. =)

3. Take my kids to Disney World/Florida
I think I was about 11 when my parents took us to Disney World in Florida. It was our first major holiday as previously we just holidayed in the UK and the odd trip to Holland. To give you an idea of the time period, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 was in cinemas.

It was great, I loved all the shows we saw, especially the Indiana Jones one. I got lots of autographs, except Mickeys =( Oh and we also visited NASA, that was great.

4. Run the London Marathon
There was our local marathon recently that I did try and train for. But it rained so much I wasnt able to run as much as I would like so I decided not to enter.

The reason I would like to run is to earn more money for cancer research, I've not been very fit for the last decade so to accomplish something like the London Marathon would be absolutely wonderful.

5. Stay in a haunted castle
I don't know about the rest of you, but I believe in ghosts. =) And it has been a dream of mine to stay at a castle, better yet, a haunted castle. Yeah I'm sure I would be scared out of my pants, but that's what I want to experience. Maybe I can convince the guys to have the next meetup at one. ;)

6. Go skiing
I'm not sure, has anyone here been skiing before? I just love the idea of being by the mountains, log cabins, a warm fire and lots of snow outside. I wouldnt mind trying snowboarding, but I think I'll increase my chances of survival if I stick to the skiis =)

7. Have a book published
I'm no where near as good at creative writing as the people who take part in the SSC, but I can draw. =) At the moment I'm working on several webcomics that I'm hoping to get online soon. It would be amazing to have it in print eventually. Even better if I could get it sold in stores aswell.

Maybe in a few years I'd love to do a graphic novel, it would be nice to leave that behind when I'm long gone and have people still enjoying my work.

8. Own a life size Dalek
Probably only pb and BLJ could understand this choice. I've been a big fan of the Daleks since I first saw them in the 80ies with Sylvester as the Doctor. They're so wonderfully evil and I love watching them in the movies. Not really a fan of the flying daleks, it kinda ruins it for me like zombies that run.

9. Meet Michael Palin & Hayao Miyazaki
Okay I'm cheating a bit for listing two people, but I really admire and respect Palin and Miyazaki. Sure I enjoyed Michael in Monty Python, but it's his journeys around the world that I find so fascinating. He's definitely one of the reasons why I'm planning to travel a lot over the next few years for my website.

As for Miyazaki, he's the genius behind such greats as Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. I've loved his films since the late 80ies when I saw Laputa as a young boy. Disney did some great work but Miyazaki has created some really wonderful masterpieces that I hope people will go on to enjoy for many years to come.

10. Fly into Space
How much is Virgin charging? I think every boy has wanted to go into Space. To feel weightless and float around. It would be an incredible experience that you would never forget. As long as you come back to Earth alive. =)

Now it's your turn to do your own list. Though try to be as realistic as possible. You aren't going to win the lottery, you'll never visit the Playboy Mansion and I'm afraid Angelina Jolie is way out of your league. Sorry.

6. stop global warming
7. get out of jail and kill andy drake

now thats what i call a perfect life!! :D

Manage to click my Rubu slippers and visit the Land of OZ so I can weigh a pie.

1. Be a Dalek - I'll one up you Machie, EXTERMINATE!!!

2. Meet Pete and Carl - My heroes, that's Doherty and Barat

3. Jump Out Of a Plane - With a parachute of course, sounds fun

4. Find Love - Like @ngel says, we all need a bit of love

That's all I can think of, i'm not having any old lark like 'Visit X and Y' or 'Own a Holiday home in this place'. Things like becoming Dad are far too early for me to consider and will probably happen down the road.

1. Find love... (kinda of there but its complicated)


Thats all im going to write, as for anything else i want to do its more possible i can do it. Its mainly just time and money needed to do it, when the kids are a lil older and i can get in to saving. Its all possible.


I will do it. I just think the one thing in life thats going to be more difficult is that listed.

Ok... I'm scared... However, you're currently not killing me, so your saving at least one life, so :p
