What do you wanna do before you die? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Mr.Pushover · 12th Jul 2011, 04:56 PM

What are some of your guys' dreams to do before you die?
Some people have a '50 things by 50' or a bucket list.
So what do you wanna do? What's on your bucket list?

Some of mine (a few at a time probably, and add more as life goes on)
- Apply for dual-citizenship (preferably Germany if I learn German [HINT HINT])
- Go through all of Europe (or at least most of it)
- Participate in a triathlon
- Record/write music to be recorded featured on an EP

So.. tell me yours!

Rule the world with an iron fist.

I've never really thought about this, but after doing so, the list is HUUGE.

- Visit LA.
- Go to DisneyWorld Florida.
- Write a Bestseller.
- Get it turned into a tv series/film.
- Be in a job/career which I love.
- Witness a society with no prejudice/discrimination.
- Meet Christina Hendricks.
- Go to a Daftpunk gig.
- Have gay sex.
- Graduate from University.
- Go to a Pride festival.
- Reach my goal weight and stick to it.
- Be wealthy enough to have my own gym.
- Read Harry Potter and watch classic Disney films with my children.
- Give Michele Bachman a slap. Also, give Ryan Murphy a slap.
- Make peace between rival shippers (Klainers and Kummers mostly)
- Meet some online friends I have (I could incorporate this with visiting Canada)
- Find the cure for Eczema for my mum.
- Buy my brother a skate park of his very own.
- Get a part time job at Disney Shop or Waterstones.

It's big. And there's probably loads more that I wish for, but I can't think right now. xD

thedreamwatch · 13th Jul 2011, 11:05 AM

lol my "things to do before I die" seem boring to me now after I read everyone's big ones, but here they are:

-read a bunch of fantastic books
-watch the sun rise with someone I care about
-laugh until I cry, many times
-spend as much time as I can with people I love and who love me
-hike, camp or canoe each summer
-invent a few constellations
-create a bunch of crazy and delicious desserts

I guess as stupid and cliche as it sounds, I just want to enjoy as much of my life as possible, because on my deathbed I'm not going to be thinking about the sights I didn't see, I feel like I'm probably going to be thinking about the people I didn't stay in touch with, or didn't tell that I loved them. So I want those to be things I never regret. I can skip seeing the pyramids if it means I love and live well.

trannydude · 13th Jul 2011, 12:49 PM
