Okay, we all have goals and dreams. Some are acheivable, some aren't. Some things you feel you must do at least once in your life no matter once. What are some things you want to do? They can be realistic or as unrealistic as possible. Here are mine:

* Run a Marathon (I'm Going to Attempt the Chicago Marathon this October)
* Sky Dive
* Learn to Be a Better Dancer (That may be the hardest/least likely for me if you ask some of the people on here, ;D)
* Help release a movie/video game/TV show pilot/publish a comic (just doing one of those would make me extremely happy)
* Get one job in marketing
* Visit Japan, Italy, Canada (I've been to the UK but not there yet, XP), Australia, and Ireland.
* Go to San Diego Comic Con
* Visit More Out of State (Out of Country too) Conventions
* Own a Jetski
* Get Married
* Meet a Current Office United States President

Some of them I think I have a chance with some, eh?

- Start up a private library with said collection of manga lol

Hmm, that's all I've got for now~ The majority of those will never happen xD

[KirbyFanOne]

A rather srs insight to my future;

1. Settle down somewhere. Going places for work isn't very fun, I want to find a place where I can start settling in.

2. Bag a cool chick.

3. Make family with said chick.

4. Somehow combine the culinary world with the comedy world and mesh them seamlessly.

5. Be part of a crew that circumnavigates the world.

6. Own a boat and a Lincoln (or other reasonably nice car) at the same time.

7. Convince everyone that I am, indeed, superior to them.

8. Become better artist.

No particular order or urgency, but those are the ones up there. More of a "Ways to improve myself in the near future" list though.

[kenkendazo]

Get a house/townhouse
Make enough so my wife doesn't have to work
Own a ball pit
Have spawn
Get used to roller-coasters enough that I enjoy them
Do more cosplays

I second this motion.

[STVO]

I'm loving all of your guys/gals answers here. I just thought of more:

* Start a family (I said get married but forgot to add this)
* Go to a WrestleMania
* Meet the Following Celebrities/personalities: Michael J Fox, Tara Strong, Stephen Spielberg, Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Vince McMahon, Michael Jordan, The Foo Fighters, Tom Hanks, Shigeru Miyamoto, Hayao Miyazaki, Trent Reznor, Brock Lesnar, Stan Lee (may happen this August), etc. (Unless they're at a convention or something, most are unrealistic, lol)
* Participate in more community and other events that help raise awareness/helps others (I.e. MS and Cancer Walks)
* If I own pets: adopt one shelter or rescue dog. My parents have one and I adore him.
* Do a robot/armored cosplay that looks as good as the Iron Man, Gundams, Transformers, etc. costumes at various conventions, that or make a robot like that awesome R2D2 I see at Wizard World each time.

I look at your list and I think the San Diego Comic Con is the hardest to accomplish.

[Prayer Police]

This is the hardest thing in the entire world to do D: You start with 3 incomplete series, finally finish collecting one, then notice you suddenly have 5 incomplete ones. It's a viciously never ending cycle...curse you manga! xD

[STVO]

Random thoughts:
* Road Trip to Mexico or Canada.
* Borrowing from Kirby fan, become a better artist.


And now one I can cross off my list (well I didn't put originally because it was pending): Go to E3.

[Prayer Police]

*Share an inside joke with complete strangers

That or you have the issue of buying japanese only copies, it's not being serialized anymore, or the manga ka gets sick and/or dies ._.

So it depends on the series; manga such as Monster no problem, but Within the Light or Trinity blood?! >.<

[TekoMuto]

I just want to be happy

I'd tell you what I have going on, but that'd be listing WAY too many series lol. So I counted them instead. 21 incomplete series @.@

I'm glad that's one problem I don't have xD But I do have the problem of companies going out of business @.@ So many Tokyopop volumes I don't have! Thankfully, most of them belong to completed series that I just need to hunt down, but I know of at least one that wasn't finished that I need T-T

[-JUNK-]

@__@ I don't even know where to begin...

For me it's:

Genju no seiza

Loveless (but it's back now.)

Junjou romantica

tons of more!

[linlindesu]

I'mma separate this into 2 parts, "goals" and "bucket list" ( I feel like they are sorta different things)


~Goals~
-quit job
-get married to that one dude
- be awesome haus waifu
-have spawn
-if infertile, give love to many stray cats
-cosplay something that people will remember me for
-die somewhere not terrible with people that I don't hate


~Bucket List~
-finish Catherine ( seriously, no time :/ )
- write something note worthy
- own a small garden
- have many original recipes to give to my children
- revisit germany and meet up with my old exchange friends
-

Spoiler

visit DPRK

[Kii]

-move to the west coast (ocean, ocean, ocean!)-have some comics published-visit all those one piece places and things in japan
and um.idk, i'm kind of short-sighted right now.

[Hantsuki]

Really only two main goals: get my PhD in American Literature and become a tenured professor. I could content for the rest of my life after that.

[Kyuu]

Alright. I'll oblige (in no particular order):

* Be in Chicago when the Bears win the Super Bowl. DA BEARS!
* Live to see the Cubs win the World Series
* Spread Japanese Mahjong (by teaching it) to the point where the game can stand on its own in America
* Attend more out-of-state conventions (not necessarily anime), for the purpose of the previous point
* Change my career path: To teaching
* Bike 100 miles in a day
* Run a marathon in Japan and/or Europe
* Be able to watch anime until I am dead

And likely more, that I have not thought of yet

[Agatha]

I have a few, some of which are most likely never gonna happen, but it doesn't mean I can't try.

Totally unrealistic:
-Visit every country
-Learn a critically endangered language

Somewhat difficult:
-Refurbish an old Victorian house and live in it.
-Learn Faroese

Much more reasonable:
-Learn a few more languages, including at least one more non-Indo-European one.
-Visit the geographical regions from which said languages originate (and successfully converse!)
-Get married!
-Get a large cat and name it Dog. Get a large dog and name it Cat.

There's probably more, but I've got language on the brain right now...

[kahad]

Actually get a job with my major (Computer Science).
Get a minor in math and Japanese.
Get married with a hot girl that likes anime and cosplay.
Have a family with said hot girl.
Visit Japan.
Run for a political office. I'm bound to be better than most of the morons in Springfield/Washington.
