So I was thinking, for the longest of times I've been wanting to do a whole bunch of things ...
... and I never quite get around to doing them.
Fuck. This. Shit.
This year, I make a list and I fucking clear it by the time I'm 30. There is no sense in living if you aren't having way over the top fun with it.
Also making a list, publicly posting it and putting a deadline on it is a sure fire way to have a really really really really crappy 30th birthday when you inevitably realise that you've done way too few of these things and have just run out of soup.
- Bungee jump
- Canyoning
- Solo sky dive from plane
- BASE jump the fjords
- Flying suit BASE jump the fjords
- Jump off a few other things with a flying suit
- Climb Triglav
- Climb Everest
- Drive at least one official european rally race
- Drive and finish the desert oldsmobile rally (I keep forgetting the name)
- Ride the trans-siberian railway
- Learn to do a no handed endo
- Perform a double tailwhip with a mountain bike
- Come to a board meeting with a parachute through the window
Noticed a pattern? :P
Well I've got 8 (although I like to pretend it's 9) years to do all of this. Will happily take suggestions for things I haven't thought of.
EDIT:
Oh and 15: Learn to ride a unicycle
