I planted a bristlecone pine in my back yard a couple of years ago. Before I die I want to see it grow up, grow old and die.
(For those of you not familiar with the species, they can live over four thousand years.)
I have actually done everything I wanted to do except one thing. I did it, but I forgot to update the dream in light of adult knowledge and current realities. I may take another run at it soon.
Happiness is not seeing another trite Ste. Maarten photo all week long.

- Buy a property/land on every continent (except Antarctica obviously)
- Go trekking to see the Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda (should do this year).
- Visit as many of the world's countries as I can. My goal to start with is 100 countries. an average of 4 new countries a year starting this year should get me there by the time I'm 45, however I will endeavour to do so before I hit 35.
- Learn at least one other language
I have a list as long of my arm of things to do before I cark it, I won't bore you with the details.

I've already accomplished five of my top 10..
1. Dated a stripper (this was also a new years resolution)
2. Threesome (FFM-I have had several and they are overrated)
3. Ran with the Bulls in Pamplona
4. Pilot's licenses
5. Own house
my other 5 will only be released upon completion. And they WILL be accomplished in the next 10 years. None of them are sexual except for the midget dressed like a Santa elf fantasy.

And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave."

- Fly supersonic. Doesn't matter if I'm actually flying or just as a passenger, though I know which one I'd pick if I had the choice....
- See a transatlantic sunrise from the cockpit windows.

Only one problem there though... I am scared of heights so I'll need somebody to offer me moral support. I am hoping that the jump will help me get over my fear once and for all. What kind of chute did u jump out with?

I did mine a long time ago (16 years ago) and I used an Aeroconical chute where you had to learn how to land! (They use Ram-Air chutes now where you pull on the toggles 5 feet from the ground and 'step' down) I used a static line and jumped from 2,500 feet. Don't worry about being scared of heights - I am and I was scared of flying until I did it - cured that though - I was so scared of jumping out, that getting up there was no problem!
The views and sensation when I was up there were magnificent - if you can force yourself to do it you'll never regret it - go on - you know you can!
