I know there have been too many "Things to do before I die" lists in the news lately. I'm sick of them, and I'm sure you lovely readers are, but I'm still going to post my own list below. I wrote this about three years ago and just came across it the other day. Most of these things are still important to me, although living in NY and LA, and visiting Gilman Street are now secondary to living in a city that's working towards sustainability and visiting local music venues that are proponents of great local music. Things change, but my basic principles have stayed the same, which is somewhat comforting. If you want to experience another "list", read on. You can also just go and create your own...
Start a band
Live in NYC
Live in LA
Live in the Mountains
Go to Gilman St.
Write well
Work at a record label
Work at a radio station
Learn how to grow things
Work until my hands bleed
Travel with a passport
Do something worthwhile, something that changes the world
Mosh / Slamdance with complete strangers
Try to believe
Die my hair green
Get a meaningful tattoo...not an oops-i-did-it-while-i-was-wasted-always-regret-it tattoo
Learn how to take photos...well
Tell someone I love them...without expectations, or ideas of reciprocation
Take advanced math classes
Speak another language, fairly fluently
Leave notes in the margins
Listen to Led Zeppelin while driving fast in the middle of the night
Thank my parents
Make him the perfect mixtape
Learn to play drums
Take a chance
Make mistakes
Work for a cause
Get arrested for something I care about
Live with friends
Live with people I can’t stand
Live poor
Live
