My friend inspired me to write my own list, and here's what I came up with.

I've put it in my blogsite - http://lumberjacklover.blogspot.com

This thread took an odd turn.  Interesting.

A few more things I would like to do before I die:

Gather all the world's wisest men and women in one place and listen to them speak and debate about philosophy, science, and all those sort of things.

Meet Bill Gates.

See the legalization of same-sex marriage in America.

Rob's List of Things to do Before I die

1)  Be amongst many penguins
2)  Go to a Lakers' home game

I don't remember the ones I wrote down!

1.  Sell a script...
2.  Then buy Don a beer.

Who needs 48 more?

Give everybody in the world a HUG...



...seriously...see something I wrote up on the big screen. That'll do.

Now that the thread has been cleared up, here's my list.

Ten Things I Could Think Of At This Time:
1. Compile the most comprehensive library of zombie films. - Well on my way, I currently own over 50.
2. Build my dream personal cinema. - I have posters! I'm on my way.
3. Find a girl who can share my ecclectic taste in films.
4. Visit Japan. - Working on it. Wouldn't be for at least two, maybe three years, but I'm working on it.
5. Get over my fear or being touched.
6. Get rid of this social anxiety, or...
7. ...turn my social anxiety into some weird trademark like my hat and toothpick. - Yeah, this is how it's probably going to be.
8. Get over my arachnophobia.
9. Sell a screenplay.
10. Make my zombie movie.

I guess I missed that.  Sigh.  I love watching unpleasentness.

Anyway, were getting off topic...Again?

1.Attatch fireworks to rollerblades and shoot down a street.

  1/ Write a feature length script.

2/ Write a better feature length script.

3/ Write a feature length script that is good enough to get made into a film.

4/ Beat the murder charges I'm facing next month.

5/ Turn my local criminal network into a global criminal empire.

6/ Stop confusing my movie ideas with my life.

7/ Learn to surf.

8/ Come up with another 42 things for this list.

Quoted Text 4/ Beat the murder charges I'm facing next month.

Terrific.  The only other Australian on the site and they happen to be a murderer.

Quoted from -Ben- Terrific.  The only other Australian on the site and they happen to be a murderer.

Didn't you read number 6?

I was kidding like you.

I thought so. It’s easier when you can see someone smile  
And keep it dark about me being an Aussie, I've got them all thinking I'm Japanese. Lol.

I should have added this, but here it is and almost fulfilled too.

51. Join a gym - did it tonight and have my induction tomorrow. GOD help me. Always had a fear of going....

An extremely nervous Andy who wanted to cry in the foyer alone.

Andy, it is well worth the effort.  Before I went, I was not only overweight, but I was also quite weak which made my back frequently hurt.  Now, though, three years after joining a gym program, I've lost much of the weight and can now bench almost 210 pounds.  It may take awhile, but it is very much worth the wait.

Cheers.

Hey SyCo,

That's enocouraging to know. But, it's soooooo off putting when you see so many guys in there and then even worse, a lot of girls with smokin bodies who granted, take care of themselves, but make you feel even worse about yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT, I paid, I have to go now. I wanted to start here in the UK, so that I can then join a gym confidently in vancouver and continue the whole new attitude and lifestyle change!!! I've just never done it before and would rather have tarantulas crawling all over me than do this, but hey, gotta start someday.

Ok, I will try to stay positive and not wuss out, even though I really am dreading it.

Thanks for the thoughts, much appreciated,
Andy xxxx

I can only think of one...

1. Lose my virginity...

Quoted from Jimbo I can only think of one... 1. Lose my virginity...

Some of you guys need to set your sites higher haha

I only go to a rec basketball court close to where I live when I'm not hurt.  I avoid working out in gyms.  It just seems so boring.

I remembered another thing that as on my list before it disappeared.

3) Take my wife anywhere she wants to go for as long as she wants to stay there.

Quoted from Jimbo I can only think of one... 1. Lose my virginity...

just don't die when you're doing it, cause I don't think it counts then

Quoted from The boy who could fly just don't die when you're doing it, cause I don't think it counts then

It counts.  You just can't brag to your friends about it afterwards.

bragging is the best part, well second best, it's a distant second, a very distant second.

not a public toilet

Quoted from Jimbo I can only think of one... 1. Lose my virginity...

Why is that always number 1? Once it's gone you can never get it back but on the other hand once it's gone you feel a big weight lifted.

I honestly don't have a list but I have an idea of what I'd like to do before I die... mainly personal goals like a family.

Maybe find a nice dominatrix and settle down in a small town.

And do not record it if you don't want the footage to appear on the internet next to Paris Hilton's latest performance.

Oh, and number one has been changed to...

1. Lose my virginity... On a ferris wheel...

And bingo was him name-o

A dominatrix is pushing it a little Wesley...

Oh, and number two...

2. Spend my life savings on spending my entire life with Carmen Electra... Mhm mhm mhm...

The only reason I don't like dominatrixes is because my friend's mom is one. The stories he has told me made me feel sick. So hey...

I have a problem with that...

Alright, this time I'm for real.

1/ Give my kids a wonderful childhood and equip them with all the skills they'll need to make it in the world.

2/ Get in the habit of meditating daily and maintain it.

3/ Continue to support my family.

4/ Have at least two serious writing sessions every week.

5/ Stay fit and healthy by eating right and exercising.

6/ Travel to the US and Japan.

7/ Learn to surf.

Thanks to the ones who are taking this thread seriously. I think I open up too much online and then feel silly for doing so when a thread I start in all geunine seriousness goes way off tangent in a jokey manner. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the laughs, but some stuff actually means something to me.

No hard feelings, but am not really as into this thread as I was originally now.

Andy

I'm sorry Andy. I don't really know you, but you seem like a really nice girl. Here is my seriousness...

1. Pass all my classes for the semester.

2. Keep up a good relationship with my girlfriend Katy.

3. Get a scholarship in swimming.

4. Graduate from high school

5. Overcome having ADD

6. Gain my parents respect after probably losing it after all these years of putting them through hell.

7. One of my scripts get bought.

8. I make new friends here on Simply Scripts.

9. Enjoy life.

That is all that comes to mind. Once again, sorry Andy.

1) appologize to all the people I have wronged in my life

2) Marry my sweetheart Nina

3) Write a great script

4) Quit smoking and drinking

5) Die knowing I did the best I could with this life

Here's some more.

-Play one game for the Los Angeles Lakers.
-Watch Steve Francis and Stephon Marbury strangle each other.  It would be funny to see and I bet it happens before the season is up.
-Bake the record largest sugar cookie in the world and eat it.

It may sound pathetic, but beat my brother in monopoly is high up on the charts.

Nope, not pathetic Higgs. I want to beat my dad at chess just once. But, I know that will NEVER happen. I'm waiting till he's senile before I claim victory, lol. Just kidding.

I love senile people. They're so nice.

8/ Visit every town mentioned in the song 'I've Been Everywhere". Then I can truly say or for that matter sing I've been everywhere. It's basically an Aussie song that mentions country towns and metropolitan suburbs from all over Australia. Yes Andy, I'm serious.  

Quoted from Rob S. See the legalization of same-sex marriage in America.

Indeed. I think gay people should have the right to as miserable as everybody else. LOL.

"8/ Visit every town mentioned in the song 'I've Been Everywhere". Then I can truly say or for that matter sing I've been everywhere. It's basically an Aussie song that mentions country towns and metropolitan suburbs from all over Australia. Yes Andy, I'm serious."

Quoted from DOM 19. Try acid (!)

ummmmm, not good dom, unless ur just joking, then well, i fell for it...lol, wasn't the first, won't be the last  

Yeah, I was joking. I'm fifteen! I don't do drugs. Although I did try coke once. It doesn't smell very nice.

coke is awful, makes u impotent and shrinks ur dick, I would never do that...lol

Yep, that's why I only did it once. However, I never knew it shrinks your dick. I should probably let my cousin know. He's been doing it for like two years. I think he does more drugs than Kirk Hoey from "The Lunchroom".

Drugs suck, I used to do a lot but I haven't done anything for over a year now, I'm just a chainsmoker, that's my worst habbit.

Yep. I did coke, and you're a chainsmoker. I smell a sitcom!!

Quoted Text I smell a sitcom!!

Don't, you'll make me sick.

Um, what does that mean?

I was just saying that the "smell" of sitcoms is literally sickening.

Oh. Yeah, well, I totally agree.

Please stop, for the love of God!  

I'm about three seconds from running out to the tool shed, grabbing a rusty screwdriver, and giving myself a lobotomy.

Read back through the entire thread, and please take note of how some people's answers were actually sincere, that they took it seriously, and offered a piece of their personal selves up.

That is all.

That's funny Mike, because I believe I was responsible for the stuff missing. That was my Bawls incident.

Yes, Tomson.


I was blaming you.
