Life Goals

[Plugger35]

Kick the winning goal for St Kilda in a Grand Final (looking unlikely)

Own my own pet panda

I've made my mind up that one day I will head to ANZAC Cove for a dawn service.

Been there done that.

Tip 1 - You need to camp out there overnight to get a good spot.

Tip 2 - Make sure you bring a sleeping bag/blankets, I didn't and nearly died from hypothermia.

I love how the pet Panda isn't unlikely.

I want to go past the sound barrier.

Should've joined the air force but I'm to tall to be a flyboy.

No Concorde around but there's a couple of mobs that do very expensive rides in old war fighters.

I wouldn't mind riding on Spaceship 2 or XCOR Lynx but it's a bit expensive.

I'd love to cross the Karman line or even reach orbit but I don't think it's going to happen for me.

Still more likely than keeping endangered animals as pets.

drive through 50 US states in 50 weeks, basically a year long road trip around America

I love how the pet Panda isn't unlikely.

I have bamboo in my backyard so they'd feel right at home, getting hold of one might be a problem though given that they're endangered.

It would be an awesome pet to have though, such cute and funny animals. It would be an absolute chick magnet too if you took it out in public.

I'd like to do that too, I've spent a bit of time living and travelling in the US but never got around to doing a proper road trip and there's still a lot of other states I'd like to see.

Get my name on the Melb Uni squash club honour board. Won the second division a couple of years back but they only put up President, Men's Open, and Women's Open which is pretty lame as it's just the same three girls competing year after year and no-one gives a shit.

If I can't do that, I'd settle for drinking in an airport bar and being mistaken for a flyboy who cracks people up.

Winning point would be more appropriate.

I want to visit every major city in Australia.

Still have to do Darwin and Alice Springs.

I only need to visit Hobart and I'm good

Wouldn't consider Alice Springs a major city, though. Major regional centre, perhaps.

It has to be a special bamboo, like Koalas only eat some varieties of Eucalypts.

Congratulations on achieving your goal

Should've joined the air force but I'm to tall to be a flyboy.

Not that I probably would have, but same issue for me (Aus Air Force anyway).

I'd love to fly an F-22, but I'd be more likely to own a pet panda than do that unfortunately. Although flying maybe an F-15/16 or a hornet in 15-20 years when they are sold off for jet experience flights or to private collectors (like the older fighter jets are now) might be a possibility.

I'd also like to attend the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Monaco, Belgium and Italian GPs (will probably be doing either Monza or Spa this year and hopefully Le Mans next year).

2015 would be incredible at the Cove

Wouldn't consider Alice Springs a major city, though. Major regional centre, perhaps.

have still yet to visit the territories (NT and ACT)

don't know when I'll ever get to see the Rock, then again, I know virtually bugger all people who have been there, despite being a so called national icon

 

[FootyJunkie]

Gobby while watching the footy (on tv)

what if it happens during a kick after the siren for West Coast to win in a GF ?

 

[wce4premiership]

I'll rather time it for the start of the game, if I'm not done by the end than that girl will be given the flick.

 

[LosBeatles]
