- Lose weight (I'm 5'10", 210, would like to be around 170).
- See the Montreal Canadiens win a Stanley Cup.
- Learn French
- Move to Montréal, get season tickets for the Canadiens
- If not there, perhaps move to New Hampshire
- Play Hockey recreationally my whole life
 
Well, just remember that a little hard work can go a long way! I think people have a better appreciation for what they get in life if they have to work to get where they want to go instead of having everything handed to them. It never hurts to have a sense of humility in life.... but you'll get there! Just keep at it one step at a time, and you'll be ok!

Hard work improves all people - it's something that all people should need and want to experience at some point in their lives.

AMEN, to that. 👍

- See all 50 US states, as many of them as possible in my Accord project car (saw an NSX at Concours with pics of it in different states... looks like a fun way to see the country).
- Attend Le Mans 24h, Nurburgring 24h, Sebring 12h.
- Drive the Nurburgring in a common right-hand drive European car from a manufacturer that never sold in America
- Finish said Accord project car, including importing a RHD JDM Accord coupe to swap everything over to. Show it off at Import Alliance somewhere along the way.
- Get into autocross and time attack. Skip Barber would be a cool experience.
- Not as likely to happen, but I would love to build my own Caterham. Luckily I'm about an hour away from a dealer should the opportunity present itself :sly:
- Live in Alameda, CA for a year or two. I did when I was young, have hugely fond memories, and want to get to know the city for what it is.

...and I want to get back into snowboarding in the next few seasons. I just keep spending my money on my car :indiff:.
 
I want to:
Learn French
Learn German
Learn Italian
Travel Europe
Troll a feminist
etc, the list goes on...

Learn an instrument or two.
Own several pet birds in an aviary I make myself.
Own a Cintiq 21UX, a Mini Cooper and possibly a Mid-engine sports car.
Go on a track and drive at a casual level.
Make beautiful paintings, drawings, illustrations and crafts.
 
1. Become a pilot (not for Ryanair)

:lol:👍 Yeah, BRyanAir are the saddest plane service I've ever heard of. I have to fly twice with them every year for every holiday though...and I've already flown with them twice this year.

But anyway as for me, the six main things are...
1. Find some love :p
2. Get enough money to do lots of things.
3. Build the Grand Valley Speedway. In my home town :D And make it the Wembley of circuits. The circuit itself won't be rubbish though :lol:
4. Modernize the Mitsubishi FTO and 3000GT and put them back on sale again
5. Blow up Subaru :lol: And any Amuse S2000 GT1 Turbo I come across.
6. Own a V16T and drive in any LMP or Group C. Preferably a 905. :D
 
Get a job in Forensics
Not go on a Smilie High after discovering GTP's secret vault of smilies. (Done :D)
Skydive
Win something big (I've won some little stuff before, like a Coke or something from Subway :lol:)
 
Well, see all of the smilies that OnLySBz4mEfsao32qoOSfo9eawt has posted? They all come from a GTP server (look at their URLs).
 
Become even closer to God than I am now. Next to that, nothing else really matters to me.
 
Automotive wise? Own a R32, R33, R34 (when it's legal, which would be ~3 years), and R35 GTR before I'm so old it'll break my spine. Take a least one of them to the Nueburgring, have one of them Omori Factory R1 tuned, and race against a ZR1 with it. Okay maybe not the last one.

^this. My #1 priority.

Other than that though:

- Become a professional musician. I'm on the right track.
- Own and maintain a collection of unique and vintage brass instruments.
- Drive on the Nurburgring.
- Be a Star In A Reasonably Priced Car. :D
- Finish the symphony I've been working on for the past 4 years, get it published and played and played right by a world-class orchestra.
- Live to see at least cancer, the common cold, food allergies cured. Preferably every disease.
- Live under a competent U.S. government (unlikely).
- Not an absolute requirement, but it would be nice to get married to someone I love, and someone who, combined with the most likely meager income I make as a musician, has enough income to comfortably raise a family right. I wouldn't care about the income bit if we didn't plan to have a family, but if we're going to I'd want the best for the kids, and living solely off a musician's income usually isn't a good way to raise a family. Obviously if I land at least a semi-decent job it'll be better than the vast majority of the world, but I want the very best for my kids (but not to the point that they are spoiled). Wow, that was a long wish.
- It would be awesome if my kids were also musical, at least as a hobby.
- Live to see the day when pop music is actually good and not the worst thing ever created in human history (unlikely).
- Never get robbed, mugged, or in a car accident in my life.
- Die either peacefully or heroically, not being hit by a drunk driver or shot or being in a plane crash or something like that.
 
-Get a four-year computer science degree and become a computer programmer or engineer. Failing that, network specialist or security administrator.
-Buy a motorcycle. (Actually not too far off doing this one.)
-Own an Ariel Atom.
-Win the 24 Hours of Nurburgring.

That's all for now.
 
to take part in and complete the Gumball 3000 rally....thats one of the ones that poped into my head!
 
-Finish my Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine.
-Land a job with a conservation and/or zoo.
-Have my work featured in an academic publication; my contribution to the scientific community.
-Discover and research a new species, extinct or extant.
-Found a conservation with my wife.
-Go to space commercially, however extremely unlikely.
-Sky dive (4 years in the Marines and I never got to!)
-Own a +1000rwhp Viper.
-Maybe adopt a kid.
 
- burn city hall
- taste beers from every country in the world
- travel the world or visit as many countries as possible anyway (especially The Galápagos Islands)
- get a decent, well paid job hopefully (maybe have my own successful business)
- visit Laguna Seca raceway
- throw a big ass party
- get married and have a family
- base-jump off the top of Burj Khalifa (formerly Burj Dubai)
list could go on....

I'd much rather live a normal life and then die of an old age like most people normally desire. I would never be cool as James Dean but hey, each to their own.

most of all, something similar to what Dan said, chances are I'll not get to do some of the things on my list, but as long as I have a happy and full life I'll be ok with that.
 
You're mom.

My number one goal in life has always been to have a family. Once I do that, I'll come up with a list of other things. :)
