Things I Am Never Going To Do

Eventually there comes a time in your life when you realize there are places you are never going to go, things you are never going to do, and positions in society you will never achieve. It becomes apparent that you have neither the drive or the ambition to push yourself that far and you can't see yourself changing anytime soon. To quote one great friend 'when they said I could do anything I thought they meant I could do everything'. Ahhh, disappointment in not fulfilling all of life's ambitions.

For your entertainment here is a list of things I will (probably) never do:

1. Climb Everest or Kilimanjaro... or Mt Rainier even.

2. Travel to Asia, mostly because I don't like large bugs. That might be 'bugist' against those countries, but I can't deal with those things. Gives me the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it!!

3. Buy a brand new Ferrari, although I could still do this if I win the lottery or marry a really rich man... however, probably not likely as it would require me buying a lottery ticket... or meet a rich man, which I don't know how to do...

4. Appear on the Broadway Stage. I used to dream about being a singer, and then an ex-boyfriend put his hand over my mouth when I was singing and I pretty much gave up the dream. Sniff...

5. Play any major league sport, though this might be because I am a woman.

6. Race in a NASCAR race, most likely I would be waaay too cautious to come in anything other than dead last. And they probably wouldn't want me on the track anyway as I have a tendency to always be driving the opposite way of traffic in those racing games. I don't understand why it always happens!

7. Join the Armed Forces, I'm too much of a wimp.

8. Read every book ever written or watch every movie ever filmed. Maybe if I started today and devoted my life to it, I would have to be homeless and jobless though. It could be fun, though cold in the winter time.

What will you never do?
