The other night on Discovery Channel I watched a program that told me the world was ending on 21 December 2012. The end of the world, according to this delightful program, would be brought about by a culmination of economic meltdown, disease and "something" from space. This wasn't the first I'd heard of the 2012 theory (hello hollywood!) but it really got me thinking...and not sleeping.
I guess I'm being over paranoid about the whole thing, but it's suddenly dawned on me that there are really a lot of things that I want to do in life before my world ends. Irrespective of how lame believing this 2012 thing might be, I think it's a damn good excuse to get me off my arse and find time for the more important things in life. So here's my to-do list...
Work part-time (so that I have time to do the rest of the things on my list)
Adopt a penguin from SANCCOB
Travel the world (starting with Bali, Thailand, Phillippines, then Canada, Sweden in winter, and the States)
Donate blood
Take more photographs
Get a nose ring
Fly a plane (or sit in the cockpit while someone else flies it...this might be a safer option)
Learn to snowboard
Eat dinner at the revolving restaurant at Top of the Ritz (which I only found out existed in 2010 after 24 years of living in Cape Town - shocking, I know)
Paint more
Visit the town of Paternoster
Swim with dolphins
Wakeboard more
Get engaged to Nick
Run more
I know there's more, but those are obviously the most important because they're the only ones I can remember right now. I'm planning on doing posts for each of these as they happen...before 21.12.12 that is. And if on that day I'm still not complete, you can find me in the middle of the Karoo, because I think that sounds like a safe place to be if the worlds going to end with waves etc. (que Hollywood).
