    In no particular order:

    1) Score my first movie (goal is w/in 2-3 years)
    2) Own a personal recording studio (already in process)
    3) Look my child in the face as they are born (hopefully, I'll meet their mother soon!)
    4) Get a condo in Houston and season tickets to the Rockets
    5) See Pink Floyd in concert
    6) Get under 225lbs (worked hard at this and got really close but have backtracked slightly. Still, it is within reach.)
    7) Travel to these places: Amsterdam, Italy, Ireland and China
    8) Jam with moe. or Phish (least likely to happen)
    9) Sell my comic book collection (they're worth less now than when I bought most of them. . sigh.. )
    10) Feel as though I've made a positive impact on my family and friends and that my being on this planet was a benefit to someone.

    2 and 3 interest me in abstract. I see people doing it, I think of what a rush it must be...and then I think of what an idiotic way to die. I'll probably never have the guts, maybe...I don't know. But if you do Pamplona, send me a picture, deal? I'll envy from afar.

    Okay...If I win the lottery, or sell a book for a wad, one of the many crazy things I'll do before I give most of it away ( not noble, just don't want enough money to make my life about money) is sponsor a BBC. CLutch City World Tour...for real We could hit like 30 destinations. I have other forneds I would go specific places with, but we could organize a huge schwing-ding. You in? Can't start in Amsterdam, though, we'll never get straight enough to find our way out...

    I've thought this before, but I think Buck might be my soul mate.

    "You're into space travel!" said Holmes, looking down his long nose at the man sitting in his chair..."and you have recently spent a month in Yorkshire county, work at a desk, most likely as a typist, have a bad knee, and aunt that nags you about getting married, and prefer cinammon in your coffee."

    MacBeth: Are you from Houston, or just a Rox fan in general?

    Can you drag up an old thread called Earliest Memories of a Rockets' Fan? under the name of Jag. Seriously, can you? Great thread, IMO, and well worth another go at it...and if fully explains how I became a Rockets fan...If not, could a CLutch like Admin do this favor and drag it up for me?

    OK, so.... first and foremost, why did you change your moniker?

    Secondly, how did you become a Rocket's fan?

    Thirdly, does Southwest fly to Toronto?:D

    I'm touched.

    Random thought: we should do a cc.net crawfish boil before the season's over. Cooked some a couple of weekends ago, mmmmmm tasty.

    sounds great to me. I think we end the trip in Amsterdam so we can kill whatever brain cells we have left! Too bad you're not in Montreal, man. I'm moving to the East coast in a couple months and I have a buddy who does a jazz gig there..

    Too scared to run with bulls but no problem with grabbing bears. You're a complicated man, MacBeth.
