Life's Goals and Desires

[outoforder2day]

Because I'm being particularly introspective today...

The bucket list: Things to do before I kick the bucket.

• Have a family - A wife/partner (see previous post), 2.5 kids, 1.2 dogs, .5 cats (outside cats!!!)
  
• "Retire" early - Have enough money so I can do what I want (the rest of the things on this list!)
  
• Have a base of operations to return to throughout life's adventures. Could be a castle (see below) or just a house somewhere.
  
• Start my own business, or two. I didn't get a concentration in entrepreneurship for nothing!
  
• Build a boat.
  
• Circumnavigate the globe, visiting as many places as possible. (See separate list)
  
• Travel the world, by boat/plane/camel/whatever, and see what's out there. (See separate list)
  
• Build a castle somewhere in the mountains on 40+ acres.
  
• Have a hobby farm, with a horse or two, rabbits, chickens, garden, orchard, etc...
  
• Benefit society somehow. The worlds a messed up place and it's heading to a real rough patch. I want to help ease that patch. Still working on how. Maybe running for president...
  

Places to visit: In no particular order

This list will keep on growing.

• Moonhole
  
• Maho Bay/Virgin Islands.
  
• Sygiria Again!
  
• Alaska
  
• Neuschwanstein Castle and many other castles.
  
• Ireland
  
• The Grand Canyon
  
• Parts of London and Paris
  
• Bora Bora
  
• Australia
  
• New Zealand
  
• Bikini Atol
  
• Galápagos Islands
  
• The Amazon River and South America.
  
• The North Pole
  
• Outer Space
  

The bottom line is that life is all about living, and for me living is about having fun, seeing the world, doing things and experiencing people (doing people and experiencing things?). It's more fun when you're sharing life's journey with folks.

It's not the person with the most money or toys in the end that wins. It's the person with the most experiences that has touched the most lives. It's a shame that money and toys leads to more experiences and touching... :p
