To do list for 2008

One of the lads I work with told me about this thing his wife and himself do each year. They sit down and compile a list of things they would like to accomplish for the coming year.

Be it go to Glastonbury, attend a play in the west end or play a round of golf at a certain course they list things they want to do. They are not necessarily done together and it helps them put a purpose to the year and ensure that each weekend is not wasted.

I thought this was a great idea and so must sit down and do a list as well.

To start with, here are 2 of mine.

1) Write a book (not saying novel as not sure if I can create a story 80,000 words long - unless in part of the book someone is reciting parts of War and Peace)
2) Get a surfboard, wetsuit and get surfing....

What would your list be???

Things to do before I die

I was thinking about this and wondered what are the things I would like to do before I die. Here is what I came up with (in no particular order):

1) Go to a Liverpool v Man Utd match at Anfield
2) Go to a Liverpool v Everton match at Anfield
3) Do a solo sky dive
4) Learn to dive
5) Dive the great barrier reef
6) Dive around the sucken ships of Ireland
7) Climb a large mountain (I think Everest would just be a bit too much)
8) Run the Dublin marathon
9) Do a football tour of Europe stopping of and seeing a match in the following cities:
Dublin, Belfast, London, Cardiff, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Paris, Oslo, Gothenburg, Reykjavík, Helsinki, Munich, Berlin, Marseille, Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Brussels, Zurich, Vienna, Rome, Milan, Copenhagen, Prague, Warsaw, Budapest, Bucharest, Athens, Istanbul, Zagreb, Moscow and Kiev. I may add more to this list.
10) Go to the Arctic
11) Go to the Antartic
12) Go to the Sahara desert
13) Try and do a comedy act on stage
14) Visit the locations of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (if at all possible)
15) Write a book
16) Write and record a song

...these are just top of the head things and Im sure there are more to add.
