I was watching the new TV show The Burried Life. it is 100 things you want to do before you die. I figured we could get a list going for people that are handicap. Just start posting what you want to do before you die. When finished I will make a final list of the top 100 things that we want to do before we die.

this is not in order but here are a few I personally want to do before i die.

-help with sci research
-have a kid
-fly in a fighter jet
-sky dive
-bunjie jump
-skuba diving
-safari hunt
-cruise

there are many more but this is to get the ideas rolling

2. Go to the Moon and take a swing at a baseball.
3. Fly around the world in a hot air balloon.
4. Pump some iron with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
5. Drive a Bugatti Veyron as fast as it will go.
6. Be remebered in the History books.

Fear is the dumbest thing that we've ever created in our minds; its just so stupid... it stands in the way of everything and it achieves nothing.
