7 things I want to do at some point in my life.

1. Build a house.

Building anything from scratch is satisfying but building a house? Man, it must be the most satisfying thing ever. Also grand designs is pretty much my favorite show of all time. I'd love to have some wild unlimited budget and just go crazy building secret passages and water slides.

 2. Write a book.

I've been mulling around with this idea for a while. If I ever did write a book (I have literally no writing experience or ideas here) I doubt it would be something people would want to read. Much like building a house though, I bet finishing that last page would be fantastically satisfying.

3. Make an album.

I have precisely zero musical talent but whatever. That hasn't stopped people in the past.

4. Start a game company.

I'd love to have complete creative control over the development process of some ridiculous online game. Think GTA but in your browser and with millions of people.

5. Run a marathon.

Before I do this I'm probably going to have to stop smoking and get back in shape. This probably wont happen for a while.

6. Live in America.

I'd be there already if the US government was more welcoming.

7. Invent something.

I have no idea what. I really don't even care. Just something that solves some kind of problem. That would also be immensely satisfying.

So what about you?
