NFT: What's one goal you want to accomplish in your lifetime?

RC02XX : 8/18/2017 9:43 am
What's one goal you want to accomplish that others may not know about? Something that given time and effort, you possibly can accomplish in your lifetime.

I would love to write a book one day. I don't particularly care about finding sucess as a writer since there are hundreds of thousands of writers, who are far more accomplished than I ever will be. I mainly want to put my ideas/thoughts in writing to share with others (wow...that sounded arrogant AF).

Well, jokes on you, biatch. I wasn't going to write about my expertise (hut burning). I was going to write about my passion (cat breeding).
One goal of mine  
bigbluehoya : 8/18/2017 12:30 pm : link
Is for my children to have the opportunity complete their college education at the schools of their choice without having to incur any debt.

happy in their lives was probably my biggest goal.





This is mine as well. I'd also add my plan is when I die my children have Fuck You money. Not sure how well those two goals will coincide.


That would be nice too, but it's up to them to decide what their own goals are for their futures.

That is the creedo my son has lived by his entire life thus far (turns 21 in a few weeks, which technically makes him not Gen X).

His sisters aren't like that, so I'm not chalking it up to terrible parenting. :)

We've all followed your ordeal and witnessed your amazing determination and attitude. Whole others may not believe that you can accomplish your goal of running one more marathon, I believe that if anyone can, it's you, micky! Here's to wishing you continued blessing and your journey back to your marathon goal.


Thanks ronnie..appreciate it

Best of luck to you Micky. Not sure if you've heard of Matt Long but I heard him speak a couple years ago at a work conference. He was a 9/11 responder with the fire department who was also an Iron Man. He ended up getting hit by a bus while riding his bike to work in 2005 and almost died and almost lost both legs. Hearing his journey back to not only walking but completing in an Iron Man was incredible. I have the book in this link but haven't had a chance to read yet. Matt Long - ( New Window )


Thanks UConn I was unfamiliar with this story, thanks for sharing..many incredible stories of many hero's on that day coming back from the tragedy..gives inspiration to people like myself to look up to..thanks again

Wow! I hope you do it! Is there a specific race you're training for?

Regarding the OP, my goal is to be half the man Micky seems to be. Life is a gift, I need to more aware of this fact.


trueblue...i would like to run the very first marathon i ran...Marine Corpse Marathon in DC..
A goal of mine was to bench press 315 lbs  
Milton : 8/18/2017 4:47 pm : link
When I was in my 30's and working out three times a week, I maxed out at 255 lbs (while weighing 160 lbs). Probably unrealistic now that I'm in my 50's and haven't lifted in over a decade. Maybe I should switch it with running a marathon.

Lynch, you sonofabitch, what the hell was all THAT about?
It's about the lost innocence of those who come to Hollywood to pursue their dreams (as represented by an actress and a director). The two women characters in the movie were actually one woman going through an identity crisis (causing her to split into two: one jaded, one innocent). The lesbian scene was in reality simply her masturbating.

At least that's my interpretation of the movie.

but nobody gives a shit about drunken sailors frequenting bordellos, suffering hangovers on watch and trying to hide from working while figuring out how to get overtime for writing up overtime......

Maybe break par on a legit golf course?

What is amazing about this post  
ThatLimerickGuy : 8/18/2017 10:16 pm : link
Is that some have done what others only have dreamed of.

For example, I am a published author in my practice area.

What I would love to do is break par playing golf. I'm about 16 strokes away.
Learn to play the ukulele. I bought one, but I need a teacher.

The one goal (if you have kids)is to be the best parent possible and set them up for a happy and healthy life.
My biggest goal  
Beezer : 8/21/2017 8:28 pm : link
is to leave behind two children who are better than me, and that they make their children better than all of us. If I can say, looking back, that I had a part in that? I will be fulfilled.
