Things I should do before I'm 30

petemc · 20-12-2007, 12:22

So in just over 9 months I'm 30. I imagine I was conceived around this point, and being adopted often makes me think I was a Xmas party accident. I'm here anyway so I should tell the world just how good an accident I am. Of course it doesn't help that I've been scared of people most of my life and haven't actually done anything with my 20's. So I figure 2008, last 9 months I should be doing things to make up for that. I've been thinking of going crazy and getting a tattoo, but then as I'm soooo picky I can't think of anything I could live with. Maybe something in Japanese, not the local restaurant menu

I'm just feeling like to hell with everything. To hell with fear. I need to make some mistakes. If I celebrate my 30th by still living at home with my parents, I don't think theres any point in a 31st. If it really comes to it I'll fly off to Amsterdam, but ideally I want to have moved out.

So far my list is...

Get more clients
Move out
Get gf
Get book published
Do exhibition
Lose at least some weight (not all, just enough to be proud of)

I need suggestions of things that I should attempt before I'm 30. So at least I can say I've done something with my 20's. So far all I have is a degree I don't use, a photography career and 2 sick parents to care for. I've been too adult, too responsible. I don't mean I plan to get completely wasted as I'd prefer to have good memories of things. I can get drunk alone at home any day of the week. So... scare me

Its useless enough right now. It doesn't need metal in it

Do something that involves flight, or falling from flight.

You're one of the nicest guys I know!!!!

Ooooh oooooh, Ive got another idea! Let someone take a photo of you. Not just a snapshot, but a photo as good as yours

I think that will be a breakthrough

Ty

That does seem like an interesting idea. Being comfortable enough on the other side of the camera for someone to take a good photo of me. I know how hard that is for people.

I'd love to learn how to fly, to face that fear. Expensive though?

Just have a trial lesson to get it done. They'll let you fly (for a bit).

Well you said losing weight - how about training and running a marathon for some charity?
