I'm This Many: 100001

That puts me approximately here:
1 --------*----------- 0

I can't believe I've already used up something like 41% of my life. I would have thought that I would have accomplished more by this point. I was thinking, maybe it's just that I don't have any goals, so I figured I'd sit down and come up with some.

My Life Goals

  • Graduate College
  • Move Someplace with Decent Weather
  • Get Job as Creative Director
  • Purchase a Home
  • Learn to Fly - I have this one partially struck out. I have about 3 or 4 hours. I have taken off, flown around and landed. In doing that, I accomplished my main goal, so I'm not sure I want to put in the time/expense of actually getting a pilot's license (unless I am one day in a position to buy my own plane)
  • Buy Own Plane (what the hell)
  • Write a Novel
  • Retire a Millionaire
  • Buy Vacation Home - Maybe a cabin in the woods on a lake or some place down by the beach, some place quiet where I can get away when I need a break
  • Learn a Second Language
  • Learn to Sail
  • Create One Thing That is Genuinely, Intrinsically Good
  • ??????
Is that it? Somehow it just doesn't feel like a full and complete life. Within that, I suppose there will be other things like watch lots of TV, read lots of interesting books, listen to lots of interesting music, meet a few interesting people, fall in love a few times. Those things just don't seem like goals though. Find a way to live forever seems like a goal. With anticipated advances in biotech and nano-science, that even seems like it might be possible.

I don't know. I think I need more ideas. What are your goals?

Hang gliding might be cool. I like the learning to fly. Scuba dive, and learn to surf. Those would be cool too.
