Eucharisto would like to know 25 things I would like to do before I die. Here are the 25 that came to mind.1. Make great films. Perhaps even for a living, or as a calling.
2. Write an amazing book with little or no effort.
3. Meet Bono.
4. Learn how to speak Slovak fluently (beyond such impressive phrases as "Please pass the apple juice." and "I'm sorry. I speak very little Slovak."). Or French. It would be cool to speak French.
5. Collaborate with Sufjan Stevens on something.
6. Marry a beautiful woman (of God's choosing), and be an amazing husband.
7. Have amazing kids (at least one girl, please!) and be an amazing father.
8. Do amazing voice-over work for an amazing animated movie. Even if just once.
9. Love God as he deserves.
10. Make a highly successful screen adaptation of The Man Who Was Thursday that G. K. Chesterton would love.
11. Learn to sing.
12. Learn to draw really, really well.
13. Learn to paint.
14. Write a children's book (I mean - borrowing from Jack - the kind of book that I would have like to have read when I was a child).
15. Tour the Europe I don't know very well (preferably with one or two really good friends).
16. Revisit the Europe that I do know well.
17. Write at least one half-way decent movie review of a great film.
18. Learn how to dance. No, really, I'm more serious than Eucharisto was.
19. Run around some really colorful rain forest somewhere.
20. Inspire people towards their relationship in Christ.
21. Learn to cook.
22. Learn to sew.
23. Direct my friends in great films.
24. Provide for my family.
25. Learn how to really, honestly love.

Bah! Who needs French, Slovak is much better!
As for 15 and 16, just get your butt down here!! I'll take you around. Dancing I can help you with a bit, if you'd like to learn how to swing dance. 23, I'll hopefully be coming up to Portland next fall, wanna direct a movie then? And as for 6.... I know a few. But I'm not sure their your type.....
What a lovely feather on your sidebar thingy! I just now noticed it, and I had to tell you that it is beautiful.
I'm working on that "before I die" bit, it just takes me longer than most people. Mercy.
oh! Collaborate with Sufjan...I didn't think of that one!
nice list!
I didn't even see that I was tagged untill now so the list will have to wait for a time.
Never mind. It is now up.
Oh, and I liked your list a lot, a lot.
I can help you with 18. You just have to find a partner because I dont care how nicely you ask, I won't dance with you. =)
I'm baaaccckkk!! And I replied to your tag. Now you are on haitus and I am off. This was a fun one.
