Pivotal moments in life

So, a few months ago I saw this thing somewhere (whoa, hold back on that articulation there, L) news brief on a random website about this guy in Australia who is selling his life (http://www.alife4sale.com/). Selling his house, all his belongings, his friends and his job on Ebay. Why? He had divorced from his wife and needed a change - a big one. Even better - someone bought it for $399k (or thereabouts).

He then started a new website (http://www.100goals100weeks.com/index.php) where he's got all these goals he wants to accomplish in the next 100 weeks (almost 2 years for those of you who aren't in the mood to do math). There are some pretty interesting ones (learn to fly a plane) and the dirty little secret ones that I some of us have always wanted to do but never had the cojones or opportunity to (ie. join the mile high club).

So it's gotten me to thinking that I need my own 100 goals in 100 years (hey, I don't have the funds to get it all done in 100 weeks). My next post will be the start of that list - and I'd like for you all to add to it. Be it something that you yourself have done and think I just have to experience or if it's something you yourself want to do and just want to share.

I'm sure that it'll be an interesting list knowing you lot.

On the unpublished list of 19 items is already:
-stand on the great wall of China (covers off asia)
-swim with sharks (TER-RI-FIED of sharks)
-BAH - there's not an artistic bone in my body but I'll consider it (if I get to 99 and need one more to get to 100 ;o) )
-I think kayaking is cool and that's on the list to learn

Thanks Lara! I'm sure you'll think of more! ;o)
