The List…
-Travel to Japan, New Zealand, Ireland, London, Italy, Alaska, the American Southwest, San Francisco, and anywhere else faraway and interesting.

-Learn automobile and motorcycle repair and customization. Customize at least one example of both.
-Perfect techniques for cooking pasta, pizza, bread, soup, tiramisu and other interesting dishes.
-Take race driving lessons. Learn to drift, and drive a supercar in a space where I can experience the vehicle’s full potential without consequence.
- Learn to do a wheelie and a stoppie on a motorcycle.
-Learn to swim, and surf.
- Sing “Piano Man” by Billy Joel in a karaoke bar in Okinawa, Japan, at 45 (long story.) Also, sing “Somebody To Love” by Queen at karaoke (no conditions of location or timing on that one.)
-Build a computer from scratch.
- Take consensual upskirts and other erotic photograply, possibly even pornographic.
- Produce a photography book or calendar.
- Make a file server, or convert a computer into one.
- Pay off my credit card debt.
The original block is my bucket list as of twenty fifth January two thousand nine. In the past two years and change, I’ve managed to off one item, and am now typing on the computer I built with last year’s tax refund. Not a super-powerful beast, but it works. Been having video card issues that I’ll hopefully iron out. And needs more hard drive space, but it’s a decent computer.
So, off to work on the rest of the list. Or, to throw it all away.
I’ve been going to church more. On the one hand, I want to dedicate my life to Christ more fully. On the other, I want the things of the world. Mainly sex and stuff. Mainly I just kind of brushed these yearnings off as unobtainable like most of the other entries on the list, but now there are opportunities that have never presented themselves before that are here, and I’m wondering which way I’ll go.
Prayers, whatever I decide. More prayers, because I’m not very good at deciding….
