People often forget how short life can be and that's why I have decided to compile a list of things I want to do before I die. This list is nowhere complete and I will continue to update it as I go along. Even the little things are important and every opportunity should be seized in order for you to be able say that you have truly lived. The word regret shouldn't be part of your vocabulary at all.
1. Firewalking
2. Bungee jumping off the Bloukrans River bridge, the highest commercial bungee jump in the world
3. Skydiving
4. Star Wars marathon (all six movies in one go)
5. Take part in a 10km run in 2010
6. Learn to play a musical instrument (at the moment it's a guitar)
7. Go goth for a day
8. Get my degree in Information Science as well as my BIS Hons.
9. Visit Copenhagen, Ireland, Istanbul and Prague
10. See Nine Inch Nails live in concert
11. Visit England (this one is for you Andy)
12. Learn and master a foreign language (Spanish/French/Italian) - must be able to to converse comfortably in the language (I was pretty upset when I wasn't able to follow the movie, Coco Avant Chanel. Some of the nuances and storyline was lost, because I do not speak or understand French)
13. Learn how to swing poi (and eventually even fire poi) keeping to a smooth cadence
14. Go see Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night at the MOMA in New York.
15. Attend a concert by famous DJ such as Tiesto, Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz. DONE
Some things dictate urgency and in that spirit, the following needs to be done this year:
3. Skydiving, bungee jumping or parachuting (I realised this after spending a few minutes trapped on a roof with a fear usually unknown to me - a fear of heights. I almost passed out and I must be getting old)
