Can be arsed

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

Ok but here are some things I would wish to do or rather I would have wished to do if I was younger:

- make pottery for I think this would be very satisfying.

- climb K2 for as I have said before, it is simply the most beautiful mountain in the world.

- learned to play a musical instrument. Not sure what but the guitar, piano and a keyboard would be good.

- conducted an orchestra. Like Gilbert Kaplan, it would have to be Mahler.

- die on the Moon. This may seem strange or morbid even but then I remember reading a book by Heinlein called 'The Man who sold the Moon.' They just sat him on a rock and left him gazing upon the Earth until his oxygen ran out. A decent way to go I thought.

- take up archery. Think this must be a super sport whether it be the longbow or the crossbow.

- go to Tibet and gaze upon the Potala Palace. Fascinated by that place since I was a kid.

- learn to paint

- been an astronomer

- driven a bus

- play with a whale

- drive a steam locomotive

- seen the launch of a Saturn V

and many more
