Title: Lifetime Goals and wants thread
Post by: ReaperKK on March 27, 2011, 07:35:36 PM
I got the idea for this thread while reading the aurora borealis thread with some scotch in hand, and I wanted to know what your goals in life are, post them whatever they are.

For me some are:

To get my pilots license (slowly getting there)
To spend a year traveling (Possibly two years from now) doing lots of motorcycle riding
Competing in Auto Cross sometime
Owning a BMW 3 series of every generation.

To be able to make a living off of art (music, writing, etc.)

To make a comfortable living as a writer or editor of some sort.
To eventually start a small family and lead a quiet, peaceful life.
Visit Europe.
To discover what I'm good at/what I have a talent for, and actively pursue it as a hobby.

I want to live a life of integrity and raise my daughter to be that kind of person.
I want to try to set myself up financially for when I retire. I want to be kind to people and treat them with respect. Sometimes I blow it on that front. I want to sin less. I want to be as honest as I can be.
I want to treat my wife like the great woman she is, and make her feel loved and special everyday.

Well, I've achieved one of my longterm goals earlier this year... playing a ~somewhat~ professional gig with a band.... next:
Tour with a band at least once
Record an album at least once [maybe]
Record an album of my OWN music [long shot here]
Find someone to love, cherish, rape, etc
Be financially sound, enough where I can live comfortably and not have to worry too much financially

Have sex with the creator of feelafraidcomic.

And this.

Make enough money that I'm not permanently overdrawn and can do simple things like go food shopping without worrying about not having cash.

Get a job doing something I love that makes a real difference in people's lives (I want to work in prisons with alcohol/drug addicts and/or sex offenders.. I'm slowly on the right track there)
 
Maintain my voluntary work throughout my life

Make my mum proud even though I don't believe in an afterlife or that we'll ever interact again aside from during my dreams (I guess... do her memory in my heart justice)

Have a family, experience what it's like to be pregnant and make another little human, and embrace parenthood

Stay vegan (easy one there  :laugh:)

Break the cycle of addiction that runs through my family and learn from my upbringing to raise awesome kids

Travel to America, Japan, Russia, Switzerland

See dredg live (serious)
Title: Re: Lifetime Goals and wants thread
Post by: ReaperKK on March 28, 2011, 02:36:23 PM

See dredg live (serious)

I assume that you know that they are releasing tour dates now right?

I've seen them 3 times and they were great although I'm a bit biased seeing as they are my favorite band

A few other goals of mine:
To get a couple of motorcycles, one I can do some track days with, the other to work on as a project.
Restore my VW Golf, it's not my DD anymore but I'll never let it go as it's my first car I've financed and paid off. Being a 2001, it's starting to show it's age :/

Make a living doing something I love.

Pretty much it.

Oh and, never losing any of my limbs or fingers is a huge bonus.

It's not a goal exactly, but a dream of mine is to get the Nobel prize in medicine.

My goal is to become a scientist and research something that will help develop the world, and to me medicine is the most appealing way to go. To get the Nobel prize would be the ultimate proof that I reached my goal - but of course I can be more than satisfied without it.

A shorter-term goal is to finish upper secondary school with straight MVGs (the highest grade in Sweden), and I'm very close to attaining that goal...

Dream that I don't have as a goal: STAR ON BROADWAY :rina:

Goal that I doubt will happen but would be awesome if I could: Music Teacher

Goal: Start in Pharmacy next month and hopefully take classes in Music Theory.
