I would jump into an active volcano and proceed to swim to the centre of the Earth. I've always wondered what the core looks like.
Skydiving without a parachute sounds fun, right into pavement.
Eventually I'd end up fighting crime like everyone else though with one difference, I'd fire myself out of a cannon to get to the location.
These would only be the my big feats, I'd also have a list of small things to do like;
Shoot myself in the face.
Decapitate myself.
Starve.
Light myself on fire.
See how high I can go from being hit by a car.
Rob a bank.
Do military testing.

Create a massive legend. Go on a killing rampage. Show my face in public videos online or on TV or whatever. Somehow not get caught. Become a hermit for thirty or so years and then come back, doing the same thing again. Disappear for five more years. Make a massive impact (I dunno...kill a really lot of people). Disappear. Come back in a hundred or so years.
But srsly? I'd just live life as I am now, only not die.

I'd just keep living. I'd take more risks and be more heroic, granted, but I think I'd just go on being a person, living my stuff. No one has to know, either. Presumably I could fake my own death at some point just before my failure to age became apparent, and then send a little message to all my loved ones telling them not to worry, that I couldn't contact them again in person but I was fine, and then go off to do some stuff. Just keep on living. Adventure. Go wherever I wanted. I don't have to worry about eating anymore, so I could just hitchhike across the continent or walk, if need be. Money doesn't matter that much anymore. I've always been pretty okay with going for a long time without conveniences, so long as I know that someday soon I'll have them back. The lack of showers might be annoying, though. After a while, that'd probably get boring, and I'd want to settle down, have a proper life with a family somewhere. Which I could get eventually, being immortal and all. Of course, one day I'd have to leave them behind to, and so on and so forth, but I honestly believe I could handle that. That's kind of a neat idea. An immortal guy, traveling all over the world, living lifetimes, most small and inconsequential, but some grand and important, and then moving on. Pockets of people, all knowing the same man by different names and in a different life. It's probably been done before, but I still think it's cute.
Establish my own religion and topple some governments with an unholy crusade, then setup a super nation dedicated to the glorification of me. Ask me again in three hundred years what I will be doing next 
Whats the go with everyone attacking North Korea, I'd attack America, its a far bigger threat to the world.

Surprising I am giving one of the first serious answers, but 'nothing'. I would do absolutely nothing. Perhaps quietly amass a fortune over time to assure my endless life is comfortable. There is a good reason immortals never draw attention to themselves in all works of fiction.
To be entierly honest, there are other lesser powers I would find far more enjoyable then "god mode". Like the ability to become whatever I want, or the ability to time travel.

1. Invest money to accumulate wealth over time.
2. Learn as much as I can about everything. Hey, I've got the time.
3. Rinse and repeat for a century or so.
4. Use accumulated money and knowledge to begin making high society connections over a generation or two.
5. Establish a secret society (not with myself at the head, obviously, the chairman would be a hereditary position filled by a patsy who's family line I will have personally groomed to carry out my will).
6. Rule world.
7. Eat all the pies.

Isn't it, though? If they send enough men, they will be able to restrain you, even without injuring you. I'm not saying taking over the world isn't a perfectly viable and acceptable pursuit for an immortal man, but if your plan relies on you never being captured, you'd best revise it.Rawne1980 said:
I would do the same thing as the OP, only preach something about me being the messiah sent by God to rule the masses and that if the people don't make me their supreme overlord, they shall be struck down with hellfire, or something (and they do, since people are stupid). Then, proceed to live the good life, till I go completely insane from boredom and become a Caligula-ish kind of ruler and just start dismembering random people in the streets because it amuses me. THIS IS A GREAT PLAN
Turn myself in for scientific testing, but make a big media event of it so that I can demand that the public get to check up on me every month or so to prevent abuses, then see if they can determine what made me immortal and use it for the greater good. Woohoo! Alturism! The common good! Science! Also demand a salary of at least $35,000.00 a year. Lab rats gotta get paid too.
Immortal eh? I'll spend some time trying how to die, first as a precaution then as a backup. You never know what'll happen in the future. Minds change, unless of course immorality also makes the mind unable to "age" and change and grow.
Start work on other super powers. I like immortality, but with nothing else you're just a punching bag.
I suppose I'd start unlocking the parts of my brain that restrict my full strength, as I no longer have to worry about breaking myself. Then I start work on a jetpack, provided they don't already exist seeing as how my internal clock would get just kind of fucked after awhile. Then, with strength, flying, and invincibility, I start either start fighting crime, or become the leader of crime.
