    Default Things to do before you bite the big one

    "bite the big one" = die.

    What would you like to do before you die? Wild ideas--but realistic--are especially welcome.

    I'd like to:
    -be a drag queen for one night, on stage in front of hundreds.
    -participate in a naked group run/bike.
    -have a romantic experience with someone from every color group.
    -kayak in a body of water far removed from mankind.
    -save someone's life.

    I'd like to pass on all my knowledge and life experiences to my sons before I go.

    - Be truly happy even when I'm not with my bf.
    - See Faith No More at least once (and probably a dozen other bands).
    - Have kids.
    Because I'm somewhere in between,
    My love and my agony.

    Live long enough to see them grow into adults and start their own families.. but of course by then I've have knowledge on what it's like to be old.. have to draw the line somewhere. Probably up to being a grandparent and teaching my kids all about parenting, I guess...

    - Get rich [hahahaha] OK maybe not realistic here
    - Adopt a child...or two
    - Have the largest personal library in the world
    I like me.
