Not really the goal. I guess my ability to generate threads sucketh again. Oh, well... we all can't be genius super-writers here.

I suppose I wanted more of a "it is okay for me to clock out now because of I've finally done... x, y, z" in a list form or a philosophical sense. Itemized. Tangible. Superficial, maybe. Wanted to see if their was a pattern in it.

I challenge anybody who says they're okay with clocking out at any old time because they apparently have nothing to live for, they're a basketcase, or just plain lying. What is your motivation to be alive if you're truly okay with dying in five minutes? Where is the primal scream of, "I'm not done yet." "Do not go quietly into that good night," and all that jive sucka talk.
You appreciate life more when other people try to take it away from you for little or no reason, when you realize that the only limitations you have in life are those of the scientific boundaries that hold the universe together.
I figure the more you travel, the less you feel like dying. So much to see, so much to learn.
Mmm, I wouldn't give that up. Not without a fight. You only get one shot.
