Faith in the Future....
So there's been a trend of late on a few of the blogs I read where the bloggers have been making a list of things they would tweak or change in their lives if they had the chance to go back and get second chance at re-living it.
I like another one of my favorite bloggers Superdrewby share a different view to this concept as I can honestly say there is nothing I would change. This is not to say that my life has been a perfect example of how one should live or there has not been a time where I didn't want to be in my own skin.
There has been no shortage of fuck ups and I like everyone else have experienced some really shit times either due to my own undoings or others but as much as I hated the bad experiences while they were happening to me in retrospect I'm glad they happened because I was capable of moving beyond it and having the experiences push me to where I am today which is still not perfect but a pretty sweet place full of some pretty special and inspiring people (so special I sometime's have to wonder why the fuck would they bother with me! ) and we know how to enjoy the good times when they are there.
So following in Drew's path I'm going to look forward and list a few of the things that I plan to do and Achieve in my lifetime...Some of them are NOT going to be listed here but below are the ones that I'm happy to share in no particular order.
1. Live in LA. Once I am here I'm going to have a dog and an old Benz dishtop convertible and I'll be a very happy man indeed.
2. Meet Scott
3. live life completely free of assumption, unfortunately I constantly amaze myself at how much of my thoughts or opionions are based on assumptions when I don't know the real story. This is something that I'm really working on changing. It's not about having to know everything or needing to be right..If I don't know something that's fine but I shouldn't be making assumptions on the subject or person if this is the case and I cannot be confident in what I'm saying to be the truth.
4. Own a Ducatti, This will be parked in the garage next to the old Mercedes.
5. Do the roadtrip of my dreams and drive across America
6. See Courtney Love perform live and up close, Hopefully I'll be able to tick this one off the list next year when she tours following the release of her new Album in February.
7. Fly in a private Jet, This one used to be fly First Class and I got to do that earlier this year when I had the pleasure of Flying Qantas First Class from Sydney to Bangkok, now that I have got that one out of the way I need to aim for the next step up which is the experience of Private jet travel!, and while I'm on the subject of obnoxious wishes can I get a little greedier in saying that not only do I want to fly in a private jet but I want to Fuck in one as well!
8. Own a recording studio, ok so this is the craziest pipe dream one but who ever got anywhere by only having goals that they were confident in knowing that they could be achieved. I have no idea how this one will come to fruition but I'm taking the first steps to get there by writing this down in the first place! I guess this stems from my own lack of musical talent and the respect and awe I have for people who are gifted in this area so the next best thing is to have a recording studio that will inspire artists to lay down their best.
9. Get seriously built
10. Be confident in the fact that I let my friends know how much I love them.
A few of the above are obviously in the more shallow end of my pool of plans and aspiritions but I dont wanna go too fucking Oprah on you all and list out all of what could be percieved as the more "meaningful" ones! I gotta have some secrets!

Outstanding post! And as the great Joe Namath once said, "If you don't dream it, it won't happen."
My only quibble with it is I think you may have set your sites a tad low. Fly on a private jet, fine. Fuck on a private jet, ditto. But howsabout fly and fuck on a private jet that you own?
Giggles - Yep it's a good thing to have goals and objectives, no matter what they are, provided that these are things you desire and work towards.
I do agree with Scott, you should aim to own your own jet, I have a thing for private jets, they are lots and lots of fun (never had sex on one though).
My fave jet is the G550, non stop sydney to LA and oly about 45Million USD!
Oh and Nicky, don't think I'm not completely flattered that I made your list. You're on my to do list as well.
Hello, can you please contact me at linkexchange@edenfantasys.com? I have something to discuss with you
Regards, Chris
(Please can you delete this comment after your decision?)
When you drive across America, let me know, it's a dream of mine too!
And thanks for recommending me to Mike for the porn photography! I'm very grateful and flattered.
Driving across America is a pretty acheiveable goal. Start there.
So candid. So capable. Indisputably Snickers. :)
If a man true to himself - especially when it comes to his hopes and dreams, why the fuck bother?
I'd say you've said what a lot of people who get caught up in maintaining the veneer of "being a good person and "getting all Oprah"
Being up front and honest is a far more attractive prospect and can help build relationships that in my case I know will sustain me in the long term.
In real life (as opposed to fake life) remaining true to myself is a discipline that I hold in a special and important place (no I'm not talking about my undie draw or even the sling room) and if I'm not vigilant, I can often find myself veering off course to please "the they", "the them".
There is just one thing I take exception to though...seriously, (don't take me seriously) if you're fucking in a private jet, where's the hell is the coke? Talk about bad planning!
The "I", the "Me".
A.
Ummm...change that....
If a man can't be true to himself....
oops!
bugger! That'd be me being too fucking lazy to proof read.
:)
"You" and "I" both know that the coke on the jet goes without saying :)
