NFT: The Unattainable Bucket List

Bramton1 : 3/24/2015 3:17 pm
Reading the "what did you want to be when you were a kid" thread got me thinking about the aspirations I've had or still had, that I will likely never attain. Things like standing in the batter's box at Yankee Stadium, walking on the moon, etc. What's on your unattainable bucket list?

I had always dreamed of climbing Mount Everest. To be standing at the Top of the World and just staring in awe of the sights of the world below. It's something I would love to do someday, but seriously doubt I will ever manage to do.
i dreamt of having relations with Claudia Schiffer

Seeing Nirvana play - had tickets to their show at William & Mary in 1993 but my mother wouldn't let me go on a school night. Damn you, mom!
Everest was what I thought of when I saw the thread title.

Even if I could take the necessary time off to devote myself to it, I doubt I could do it. I would seriously like to do an ascent of Everest base camp though. That seems like something I could do, both in terms of being physically capable and having the means and time to do it. It's a far cry from the summit, but I think it would be a pretty cool accomplishment.
Nothing on my list is really unattainable

should have checked that one off long ago.
Honestly, I never set a goal so far out in advance that it became  
RC02XX : 3/24/2015 3:49 pm : link
some kind of a grand aspiration.

I always just focused on goals to be achieved that I can work on now. From playing varsity football as a skinny kid, to getting accepted to a service academy to, to being selected for the Marines and becoming an infantry officer...and most recently to start a little family.

If anything, I think it would be to start my own business of some kind to be my own boss. I'm in too good a situation and too much of a pussy (and lack that "WOW" idea) to move in that direction. So for all those, who have started their own businesses, much respect.

I guess you never know, but it ain't lookin' good.
owning a classic car is starting to look pretty unattainable too  
Greg from LI : 3/24/2015 4:16 pm : link
By the time the kids are grown up and I'll have the disposable income to justify buying one, there will hardly be any left and they'll all be insanely expensive. No GTX or Super Bee for me.

I can't think of anything cooler than going into space. I'm thinking that it won't happen.

Honestly, I just want to live long enough and be healthy enough

to enjoy a long time with grandchildren, who are likely some years away.

I'd love to be the Giants' GM, I'd love to have the physical capacities I had at 30, I'd love to have had the self-awareness and confidence I have now at 25.

Id like to argue a case to the ny court of appeals. Ive argued before Judges presently on the court, Ive fought off applications for leave (i fought like hell and won, because thats my job, but damn i wish i lost - thats probably as close as ill ever get), but ive never stood at the podium facing live bullets. When i was in law school i asked the court officer if i could come in and see the courtroom and she was kind enough to indulge me and I was able to stand in the spot. That was when i thought id never argue an appeal, let alone 7 before 30. Maybe. Someday.

I've lived thousands of lifetimes and i've got thousands more coming down the pipes.

I've labelled this lifetimes as "Playing with Sticks" and so far i'm right on track.

1. Agree on Everest that would be awesome
2. Run all the major marathons - think I'll get to this one
3. Be able to give excessively large tips to people in shitty jobs but do them
Well and bust their ass
4. Be present for a Super Bowl the giants win (was at the Tampa bay one - ravens debacle)
5. Hike the Appalachian train
It may still be attainable

I want to drink a Superbeer at the Superdome during a Superbowl while wearing a Superman costume.

...with the Giants winning. THAT would be Super!
I am still laughing my ass off on this
