If you could, would you?

[AgDr_ODST]

if I had enough money and balls needed to complete such a list I would in a heart beat but as it stands im not yet in a position to do so.

LET"S GO

 

[Sinclair Solutions]

Well, if you mean if I could do what I wanted, like build a house and so on, then yeah. I feel like I might not ever have the time for the stuff of my personal Bucket List, and actually getting the time and the money to do so would be grand.

 

[A Free Man]

I think this looks totally awesome. I would really like to do something like this at some stage in my life but probably on a much smaller scale lol. I can't believe some of the pessimistic responses would you really think that you can experience life stroner being "productive" in some cubicle compared to what this guy has achieved. Impossible, the knowledge he has gained from his trip will remain with him forever.

 

[Kefo]

I'll have to ask him what his next big plans are but I think he mentioned he would like to write a book detailing all his adventures and the crap that happens inbetween.

 

[Nedoras]

Nah, I wouldn't.

Anyhow, this wouldn't be the thing for me, because even the things I do for myself are all very much about staying home and expanding creatively. So if I could take a year I'd do things like:

Write more books
Write more songs for a couple of album's worth of material
Write comic books (I have about 50 superheroes lying around completely unused)
Possibly go and act

For me, the greatest joy in life comes from sitting and letting my mind wander to places no one could ever go. Anyone can go to the Grand Canyon, if they've got the money and the inclination, but no one can really go to Ficton City and live with my superheroes except me. The most anyone else can do is read about it as I tell it, but when I get really into writing a story, I can almost feel like I'm there.

And this would be why. I too just love writing stories. Thinking up a plot, setting, characters, and how they all intertwine just makes me happy. I know what you mean when you say you can almost feel like you're there. Sometimes I get really caught up in my writing, and what I thought was 30 minutes turned out to be 5 hours. Just letting my imagination wander and explore, that's all the adventure I really need.

 

[SonicKaos]

If I could, I would drop everything I had right now to leave the country and explore for the rest of my life. Working in a static job just getting through the days as life goes by is no way to really live. I want to experience as much as I can with the only life I've got, and the only thing that stops me from doing so is this crap we call money.

I am jelous of this person and any others who do similar things, for their lives are far more interesting, eventful and fulfilled than mine has been so far.

 

[StBishop]

I'm doing so right now. My list consists of one thing and will take me at least 6 and a half more years training before I can attempt it.

My list is as follows.

Save lives.

Edit: Sorry, was feeling defensive. A number of posts felt very much a personal attack on AccursedTheory's and my values. Which lead to me sounding like a bit of an arse. Over it now.

But traveling the world isn't the only way to do something great, infact I would argue that it isn't a way to do anything great at all. People were arguing that a piece of paper doesn't teach you the way that this bloke's experience has are ignoring the fact that you don't study for a piece of paper. You study to gain knowledge (and more recently experiences) which is represented by a piece of paper.

 

[dvd_72]

Meh, too lazy to do half the stuff he's done. I like the idea though. Who knows?

 

[antidonkey]

I would do these things but I wouldn't take a large chunk of time off from work to do them. I've done the whole jobless nothing better to do thing and after a while, it sorta sucks. Plus, I have lots of folks that depend on me at my job so anything more than two weeks off I wouldn't feel comfortable with. Hell, it was bad enough when I took a week and a half for surgery. After a few days I was connecting remotely to keep tabs on things.

 

[OceanBlue]

I would do it under two conditions. Number one only if I had the money and could afford it, im not going to mooch off of people for a year im going to do it on my own. Second is that I have somebody to do it with. I do not see the point in traveling around the world doing all that crazy stuff unless you have somebody to do it with. Even if they dont run with the bulls or do the actually insane things it is still nice to have somebody there with you.

This.

 

[Brandon237]

Err, I would make own, less... 911 requiring list

Hen yes, but with that list... I would rather not. I have never been too into putting myself at risk.

 

[Optional Opinion]

If I had the resources then I would leap at the chance to do everything he did and more.

But these things in my opinion are reserved for rich, middle class, white guys with little responsibility.

If I attempted to mimic his journey then I would make it to the coast before realising I can't afford a passport to actually leave the island.

Good on him though, bet it will be the best year of his life.
