25 Things I Want To Do In My Lifetime (List Completed!)

I'm getting there ... Once I've completed the list, it'll still be around on the right side bar, but until then, I'll move it to the top of my blog as I add things.

A couple of things I've thought of are things I've actually done already. I considered putting "Appear on television", but I was on "The Weakest Link" a few years ago. Then I thought of putting "Be an extra in a movie", but I've done that too. I was in several crowd scenes in "Necessary Roughness" with Scott Bakula.

I also considered putting "Join the Mile High Club", but that's just too ordinary. I'm sure tons of people put that, and I'd rather be more original.

But I've finally managed to come up with a complete list! Now I need to go out and do the things on it! It will definitely take a bit of time, seeing as how I'm only a poor university student at the moment.

1. Have dinner at the top of the Eiffel Tower
2. See the Great Pyramids
3. Run a marathon
4. Become a Tae Kwon Do black belt
5. See Def Leppard perform live
6. Drive a single-seat race car
7. Own my own home (preferably an old farmhouse or manor house)
8. Walk across the Sydney Harbor Bridge
9. Have a lazy beach holiday
10. Gamble in a casino in Monte Carlo
11. Get my PhD
12. Go to my next high school reunion
13. Have something I’ve written published
14. Go to Carnival in Rio de Janeiro
15. Watch the Dallas Cowboys play the Washington Redskins live
16. Climb Ben Nevis
17. Ride in a gondola in Venice
18. Learn German
19. Learn to snow ski
20. Learn to pole dance
21. Go to every European F1 race in a single season
22. Be in Trafalgar Square at midnight on New Year's Eve
23. Go mountain climbing in the Swiss Alps
24. Take pictures of the Taj Majal at sunset
25. Visit every country in the European Union:
a. Austria
b. Belguim

d. Czech Republic
e. Denmark
f. Estonia
g. Finland
h. France
i. Germany
j. Greece

I still need to come up with a few more. I've managed to make it to 20 so far, but it's not like I've got a time limit! :-P I hope not, anyway! :-O

Number 21 will help with number 25!

Saying that - are you planning on winning the lottery, or assuming that Bernie will replace half the Euro races with more in the developing countries?!!!

Hey, I've got to have some kind of a goal regarding F1! I could have said that I wanted to go to all the races in single season, but I thought that sticking to Europe was probably a bit easier. I'll just have to either 1) get a good job, 2) convince Simon to get a good job, or 3) win the lottery like you said. I did buy four tickets for tonight's draw though ... ;-) If I win millions, you want to go with me?

Hell yeah! Did we win?!

Can we go for corporate hospitality as well? Or do I have to win the lottery on Saturday for that to be included? :-p

I can't find tonight's winning numbers! LMAO I'll let you know when I find out, but don't hold your breath. I don't want you looking a funny shade of blue at your wedding! :-P

Nope, I didn't win last night's lottery. :-( But I've bought my tickets for Saturday and next Wednesday! LOL
