Foo - Goals to complete before death

I've been thinking. I do alot of that when I can't sleep.

I want to set myself some goals for things to do before I die. So far I have:

New Zealand Ironman - 3.8km cold lake swim, 180km cycle, 42km marathon.
RAAM Race Across America
Paris-Brest-Paris
Tour every continent.

I might do other Ironmans if my first one goes OK. I am also on the lookout for other challenges.
anyone else?

Brendon

Paris-Brest-Paris

mmm..French chicks are hot.

Anyway...my list:

Get one of those cool chainsaws with a dirtbike motor that you see on ESPN2
Get with 2 midgets at the same time
Convince America to hop on the Burrito Diet (hey, its what i eat and Im in good shape)
Win a NORBA DH race outright
Keep my jeep until i die

Space

Publish 20 amazing books of photographs
Work as DP on no less than 10 mind blowing films
Own a Pinarello Montello and ride it to work
Get one of the the Olson twins and Estella Warren in a menage á trois
Deny said affair to the press
Inspire the youth
Make the old wish they were young

And after I die? Someone amazing will write the then musical equivalent to Nico's Eulogy to Lenny Bruce

Move to Europe and spend ridiculous amounts of time touring the Alps.

Return to the infamous Gordon River Road in Tasmania with a new chain just to make a statement.

New Zealand's South Island seems interesting, too.

Visit Australia and New Zealand. Take my bike to Germany and ride from Dresden to Luebeck and see all the places where Johann Sebasian Bach lived and worked. Perform in a major symphony orchestra at least once. Go to Scotland. Take the Tran-Canada Rail from one coast to the other.

See my children grow up.

Get one of the the Olson twins and Estella Warren in a menage á trois


How about both the Olsen twins?

Live to see my grandchildren grow up.

How about both the Olsen twins?

The whole twins together thing has always mystified me. Anything even quasi-incest just creeps the hell out of me...

You're right...one would have to ignore the fact that they were sisters.

Ahem...as we were saying...goals:
I still need to ride a century.
Potentials are parachuting and hang gliding.

Pay off the mortgage.
Clean out the basement.
Become a rock star.

Crap, that's gonna take two lifetimes...but at least I'll have new knees for the second one...

. Anything even quasi-incest just creeps the hell out of me...
Dude!

That's the best part. They're sisters and...y'know....

OK, if you were told you had two weeks to live, would you die in bed or hospital or whatever or would you kill yourself doing something crazy like jump off a building???

Im not sure about this one. Cos the doctor might be wrong and you might go and kill yourself for no reason

I'd prolly just do waht I always do..but be a bit more reckless. Just do things I normally wouldn't do, but not quite as extreme/suicidal as taking a high dive off the goldden gate bridge

Im not sure about this one. Cos the doctor might be wrong and you might go and kill yourself for no reason

I'd go out in a blaze of glory. And if the doctor's wrong? Call my lawyer and sue like crazy.

After insuring that the doctors were correct (don't want to be too rash here).
Go to either Sipadan or Cozumel (santa rosa wall) and do a VERY deep dive.
Nitrogen Narcosis on the way down, 02 toxicity beginning at 100 metres causes blackout
and down I go. . . .

wouldn't you already be dead?

wouldn't you already be dead?

Yes... that does present a certain complication now doesn't it... DOH!

But it does provide me with a goal to complete after death. I'm going to post to bikeforums from beyond the grave.

:eek:

Heh, "goals to complete after death."

I've heard of people having dead man switch programs. Then they go on vacation and forget about it and when they come back, every message board, coworker, and friend thinks they just died.

But it does provide me with a goal to complete after death. I'm going to post to bikeforums from beyond the grave.

:eek:


shouldn't your goal be a little more important than that? heh.

Climb all 46 peaks of the Adirondack Mountains in the winter with high winds and sub zero temps. Sounds crazy, but I get such a rush from being out in bad weather conditions. I want be a winter 46er.

shouldn't your goal be a little more important than that? heh.

Well, I won't be doing much else when I'm dead.

i actually had a person see me on the street and remark"I heard you had died!"
all that came to mind was " Wish i had known, i like a good party!"

i work a heck of a lot... guess that can sub for death in this industry :)

depending on my time frame as to how long i would have and just what shape i am in physically before near death.. i suppose i would get that half ironman in, go to australia and new zealand at least once . make sure my road bike is willed to my brother in law.. the nicest person in my family. then take my mtn bike to the furthest pit of hell i can find... and climb it.

I wanna meet the Phillip, that the Phillips-head screwdriver is named after. I'm thinking, he has to be one weird looking dude.

I'd like to ride my bike around the world..Passing through every continent. Since I have not a decent mountain bike, guess I could pass up the Anarctic.
I understand there is a mountain bike race across Greenland..If I upgrade my mountain bike that might be fun....
Beat the grim reaper by outracing a Polar bear.
Go diving in Bora Bora.

No question about it, you have to do this: Sri Chinmoy 3-Day Ultra-Triathlon (http://www.srichinmoyraces.org/au/events/3day_ultra_triathlon/)

My lifes goals:

Buy some form of Ford GT40, perhaps a CAV reproduction. Or perhaps learn enough to build one.

Go hunting in Africa.

Do at least 100 cross country motorcycle runs, starting as soon as I'm done with college and can afford a motorcycle.

Visit Norway.

Most importantly, help repeal section 922(0) of the 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act which banned the production of civilian transferable machineguns, despite the fact registered machine guns have never been used in a crime.

Become master of the universe....

Things I'd like to do before I die:

1. Figure out how to not die.

2. Win the lottery.

4. Oh yeah, and own a decent bike or two.
