Things To Do Before You Die

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Rather than derail the Leeds gig thread, I thought I'd post this.

Before he dies Mr E would like to:

1. Write the great Scottish novel.

2. Snort coke off a hooker's arse.

3. Own a Harley.

Admittedly, items 2 & 3 are straight out of the Ladybird book of rock 'n' roll cliches and likely to bring said said a lot closer.

But as a certain Doctor Johnson once remarked: "He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man." :wink:

I never had Ladybird books like this! :eek:

Personally, before I die i'd like to discover the secret of eternal life.

1) The default for those of us living elsewhere: See The Sisters in Leeds, in the company of the myriad Heartlanders.

2) Write at least one novel I wouldn't be embarrassed to have shelved alongside John Crowley.

3) Get my name legally changed, so I never have to explain it to anyone ever again.

4) Finally find the right artist for that ridiculously complex (and rather large) tattoo.

5) Leave the US - and citizenship thereof - permanently.

6) Punch my doom in the nose rather than let it sneak up on me.

Agreed - or a Euro gig, seems Belgium has good luck. :D

Also:

-learn another language well (or 2, or 3...)
-travel, see the world - at least once with a friend and once alone
-live somewhere other than this cultural wasteland of a city, preferably move out of Indiana altogether
-actually start writing down all the stuff running through my head, even if nobody sees it but me
-master one of the many activities I've dabbled in but never stuck with long enough to really get good at
-read as much as possible
-finally go back to college, not so much for the degree (which would be nice) but for the joy of learning new things - I'm curious about everything and insatiable when it comes to knowledge all of kinds
-far too many other things to list
...with the wind in our face and our arms open wide...

Most of mine involve all sorts of filthy sex, and lots of it. :twisted: :oops: :innocent: :lol:
*Cough*

Ahem!
That said:

- Sing in public/have band/make album, all of which will have to wait until I...
- Learn to play my bass. I'd also like to...
- Write a song that doesn't sound like a muddy, messy pile o' shite, using Reason or similar software.
- Actually follow through on projects I start.
- Become genuinely physically fit, in spite of my asthma-scarred lungs, scoliosis, effed-up joints, and quirky heart.
- Create useful things.
- Hone my photography (etc.) skills, which will require actual work on my part. Yikes! :eek: :roll:
- See Europe - for real, this time - which would require me to...
- Live like a nomad for awhile.
- Travel to a place (or places) where the very thought of doing so scares the living crap out of me - like Nepal or Tibet. A completely alien environment for which I have no frame of reference, in other words.
- Find and relocate to a place that my heart (or whatever that thing is in there) tells me is "home."
- Fall in love again. What a sap, eh? I'm not expecting it to be a permanent thing (because "forever" is a sorry little human illusion, and I'm a realist - and an alien), but it'd be nice to experience that at least once more before I shuffle off.
- Finally come to terms with and accept some truly devastating events from my past - first and foremost, my mom's death - and then let them go.
- Figure out what I want to be/do when I grow up.
- Make peace with myself and this planet.



...and that's all just for starters... ;)
I left my heart in Ballycastle... :cry: :cry: :cry:

Climb Mt. Everest.
Sail across the Pacific with my brother.
Do something useful for the human race, something I can be proud of.
Meet the girl of my dreams.
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity

try at least once all the psychoactive drugs i haven't yet tried.

drive a formula one car upside-down on the ceiling of a round tunnel (theoretically possible due to the terific down force generated by such vehicles at ridiculous speeds.)

become the new bassist for the sisters (the offer of my services is on the table in perpetuity at the ever and always bargain price of expensives and drugs covered.)

live forever. and never get round to any of the above.
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
