Title: Goals
Post by: Dave Gray on February 23, 2006, 12:27:54 am
From Fight Club:

Tyler: "What's one thing you want to accomplish before you die?"
Space Monkey 1: "Paint a self portrait."
Space Monkey 2: "Build a house."

So, the question I present to you, is what rewarding goal (or goals) do you have for yourself, aside from the norm, like having a family, or kids, etc?

----

I want to write a book....from cover to cover.  It doesn't even have to be published.

I also wanted to write a full song from beginning to end, but I've done that.

I have a short film I started writing about 7 years ago (before I was married). I'd love to finish it and film it.

Get my Bachelors Degree (I'm starting my last two classes for my Associates next week).

I would like to someday qualify for a really hardcore trail run.  Escarpment or something like that.

Maybe even qualify to run the Boston marathon. That would mean I'd have to break 3:40. That translates into 26.2 8.5 minute miles.  Damn!!  Not sure if that's doable.  The trail run is, though.

I would like to travel the US (all 50 states and as much of each as I could). I know so many people who want to go to Europe, but I want to fully soak in what we have within our culture before I would consider Europe a goal.

Here's 5 random ones, in order of importance.  The top two are my most important goals in life.

5 - Go to the Olympics (as a spectator, because unless "smart-ass" becomes an event, I really have no shot as an athlete)

4 - Travel throughout Europe.  As well traveled as I am, I've never left the American continent.

3 - Purchase land in the most beautiful and foreign place I can find.  This could be some Caribbean location, or perhaps somewhere in the Greek isles, or even the aforemantioned Tuscany area.

2 - Accomplish something positive before I die, not necessarily on the grandest scale, but something that leaves my little part of the world better off than when I came into it.

1 - Be the best husband, (eventual) father, and family man I can be.

Run and finish a marathon
Hike the complete Appalachian Trail
Fish for monster peacock bass in Brazil
Tour the Valley of the Kings
Build my own cabin
Spend a year driving around the US visiting National Parks to fish and bird
