Do you have a life list?

There's an interesting article at http://smithmag.net/2006/10/15/whats-on-your-list/ about a list of things we want to do before we die. Seems to fit somewhere in the realm of the someday/maybe but on a more personal and grand level.

Oh, lists... I need to visit India before I die. And write a book.

I have no Life goals...

I have no Life goals really. It has started to worry me a bit.

I have goals I want to do this year, but nothing planned for after it (almost, see next paragraph).

I di start a 101 things in 1001 days in December, but changed it to 125 things in 1192 days (to take me to my 40th), but looked at the list last week and realised there was probably about 40 things on it that I really am not motivated to do and they are just there to make up the numbers.

I have managed to do 14 of the 85 things left on the list. I'll leave the list at 85, until I feel the need to add something else. Putting things on it for the sake of it doesn't work for me.

I did read all of this last week on the meaning of life.

I haven't had the time to sit down and do the exercises though.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
