So I'm a little morbid sometimes. I realise I'm mortal and that living doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna last til you're 120. Sometimes I think about what a fucked up life I've had and how it's inhibited me from doing a lot of things. Or, how I've inhibited myself from doing certain things, maybe. So Sarah posts an entry that questions on what you've done so far in life and it gets me thinking. With a bit of modification, I've turned it into a kind of wishlist. It's just a start but it would be nice to have done all of these things when I'm laying there, about to take my last breath.
I left a few in that I've already done, otherwise I'd never get the motivation to start. I've already done 31/100. A good start, methinks. Some of these things are pretty far out and I'll probably replace them when I give in to the inevitability of them. Some are basic but they're things I'm happy I've done.
Thanks, Lynchy. =)
