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 :/
-
Have a good life.
Make a living doing something I love.
Travel the world.
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.
