Do you have a "trivial" goal in life?
BTW, what I mean by this are goals that aren't really, really huge (like say, college or good job or starting a small business), but things that are smaller that you've always wanted to do in your life. Things like stealing your bosse's favorite pen and demolishing it or putting a motor in a recliner and going down the street with it.

Anyway, the two things i'd like to do at some point in my life are to:

1) Play the video game "Dance Dance Revolution" in an arcade. In the country of it's origin (Japan).

2) Have sex while listening to the band Tool. (I'm a freak :P.)

11. It's over rated
Takes years to learn how to play it halfways well, and if you are away from it for a bit, you lose your fingers.

4. Pilot's License
I started on it when I was in my teens, then ran out of money. Never got back into it.

6. I hope to some day...
complete my journey through life, by dying. Hopefully it will be of old age.

Some might not agree, but I think dying is a fairly trivial goal to have. It's not like it's not going to happen if I don't apply myself.

10. LOL
If one could avoid death by simply not applying themselves, I would live forever.

7. Tornado chasing..................
and visiting all 50 states. I should probably reverse the order since the former may make the latter impossible should I actually FIND a tornado.

8. My trivial goal is to...
...learn how to make dairy-free versions of some things I've been missing since my milk allergy forced me to give them up 12 years ago or so -- FUDGE and CHOCOLATE MALTEDS!! (Both of which might literally KILL me if I ate the regular variants now!)

as music to fuck to. Good choice on your part Little Bit. :-)

Hmm...trivial goals. Get a tattoo in a "highly personal" location. Get my old Atari 2600 fixed so I can play it again. Be an extra in a movie. Drive a Harley.
