The rest of your life in five lines
 

Five lines. Five events. From this moment what would be the next five fundamental events of the rest of your life.

For me, I think...

- 500th lay.
- Find the woman of my dreams, marry her.
- Buy a ranch, with horses, three dogs.
- Two kids.
- Sell everything, move to the place we loved most in our travels.

-record first album
-get married to girlfriend of 10 years
-move out of Toronto
-record with one of my idols (Dave Douglas?)
-retire, while looking back on a rich and deep recording career, hopefully having contributed to the world in some way

Do work I enjoy
Get the debt eradicated or at least back on track
Call myself an ex-smoker
Have my home the way I want it
Find true contentment, which, with a few additional items, is what the above would help accomplish

I am going to steal from Mantus and NG first.

- Sell everything, move to the place we loved most in our travels. (Already chosen, and we are looking at property to buy in March)

- Call myself an ex-smoker. Well, actually be an ex-smoker. I have cut way back, but even with the patch I can't break the psychological habit. Hubby is done with them for good. Yes!

- Try to rescue or sell our business one way or the other, but never sink another personal dollar into it.

- My Mom. It was hard losing my Dad, but ... I can't even continue this thought.

- A "happily ever after" right up to the moment that a bus turns me into pavement goop.

-pay back everyone who wronged me, real or imagined

-become extremely wealthy, fashion a crown and scepter of gold, platinum, and uncut gemstones

-find woman I can trust, get married, have 1 son

-Amass huge amounts of personal power through wealth, then leverage that power into political clout

-ultimate hope: be last man alive

Planning like that takes the fun out of life. I suppose one of my bigger hopes is that I'll see a lot of good times once I learn to lucid dream regularly and frequently.

Get up
Get another beer
Go to sleep
Wake up
Do it all over again

Pass my courses.
Get my Phd.
Get published and spend the rest of my life writing books instead.
Open up some woop-ass on those people who deserve it.
Be the man.

Save for retirement
Raise my daughter
Choose a new career - no idea at this time, maybe even go back to college for my masters degree.
Pay off our mortgage
Retire

becareful.. you might have everyone you ever wronged paying you back -- especially that imagined part..
ever see that twilight zone episode?


Me - I can sum it up in once sentence...

Finally figure out what it will take to make me truly happy.

Get up go to work
Come home
Drink Beer
Go to sleep
Don't wake up.

- become immortal
- spend my spare time preventing anyone else from doing the same without my written permission.
- bring about the downfall of civilization
- rebuild civilization the way I want it to be
- spend the rest of eternity ruling an interstellar empire as I expand it throughout the cosmos

Mine was about the same... Must be a scooterist thing.

Sounds like a good movie to me, take along a video camera!

1. finish school and get a crazy fun job.
2. mary my awesome gf and possibly have kids.
3. make enough money.
4. enjoy money in the funest way possible.
5. die

Write some great music.
Assemble a great band to play it.
Make a fortune from it.
Enjoy music for many years till my health goes (worse).
Establish a trust for an old jazz musician home.
Die in my sleep.

wake up
get dressed
make sandwich
take a pee
die

I just realized that most of the posts here entail graduation or marriage, while mine included retirement oriented goals twice. I guess though, to be honest, I'm looking forward to being rid of the kid, free to go back to college and learn something totally different, or to be able to travel a little more. I see more and more people who are retirement age being able to truely enjoy their retirement and it looks like a lot of fun. Dunno - maybe it's still the same 'too eager to grow up' sort of thing. I guess it's good that I'm looking forward to it and not dreading it at least.

I liked Shani's one of dying in her sleep next to her sweetie - Quietly is the way I want to go.

Would death count as a major event in one's life? Death is a bit like a lost orgasm. All that build up and just when you get to the best part - life, the bitch that she is - stops!

Couldnt agree with you more.. I love the rugrat and all, and will enjoy having her until I can pass her off to some unsuspecting guy to take care of her..haha..I always thought, the one great advantage to havin 'em early, is that they'll be grown by the time you're 40 and still have tons of time to accomplish whatever it is you want..

-Raise my kid and see her off to a good start
-Finish school and whatever comes after that
-Get the balls to tell my gene-donating biological father to piss off
-Spend the rest of my life making 'the one'-- one happy mofo
-And maybe have a last minute son when I'm like 60 and too old to go anywhere anyway..

Finish my degree.
Get a job that entails long-distance travelling every so often.
Earn enough money so that I don't have to worry about earning any more money.
Be a constant source of annoyance to the politicians who think they run the country.
Hold court with 6 grandchildren in my rocking chair and slippers when I'm old.

6. Find a game to beat the reaper. Failing that, invent one.

Write the first book.
Set foot on the other 4 continents (no thanks, Antarctica).
Move to Japan.
Win the Pulitzer.
Die and leave vast estate to charity.

If I do even one of those it'll be a miracle.

- travel the world alone
- master a martial art
- become a sex and relationship master
- contribute to the world through international organizations
- have kids

For some reason, I think this is impossible... Money always asks for more money.

- Record a CD with my band(we're actually getting there, Hooah!)
- Profit
- Be big in Japan, cause that's where the real market is.
- Quit the engineering field and use my degree as a fallback, just incase I run out of vast riches.
- Do nothing... absolutely nothing.

-Learn
-Compete in the Olympics
-Join JTF2
-Unite the world under one flag
-Die for a worthy cause

-Survive day to day in the job that I hate until I...
-...find a new job that I can stand to tidy me over while I...
-...learn a new vocational trade that I enjoy and pays well so I can...
-...finish the third draft of my novel...
-...becoming successful enough to write for a living rather than do as I am told.

Although the next five important events in my life may well not be something that I see coming; they 'aint always good things.

Amen to that.

Become a movie star/respectable actor.
Make 20 high grossing movies.
Get married 4 times to beautiful actresses and/or models.
Overdose and die off of an eightball outside the Viper room at 33 years old.

-gain a leg in an even freakier accident.
-go travelling around the world telling people about my freak accidents.
-eat an endangered species (preferably human).
