Well, not yet. I'm considering it. Bungee jumping or sky diving. Doesn't that sound exhilarating? About a year ago I made my FuManchu list (see the lyrics below) and I have checked off a few things but because of the craziness in my life I haven't marked off many. It's time to revise the list and start checking things off again. I'm going to list a few things that will be a little easier to accomplish this time given time constraints but still things I really want to do. I don't want to live a life that is so busy that I'm too busy to live my life. That probably doesn't make any sense, but it does to me.
So... by the end of the year, I'm recording a song in a studio a friend owns. That's number two on my list. No, I can't sing. No, you can't hear it. I'm doing it for me :) He keeps telling me that it'll sound great so we'll see. I don't care if it does - I just want the experience of singing and recording in a studio.
Do you have a FuManchu list? Hope so - and I hope you'll keep adding to it til you're old and gray.
Soft kisses on the cheek for the fellas and hugs for the ladies,
Lady J
Live Like You Were Dying by Tim McGraw (Click on link to listen)
He said I was in my early forties
with a lot of life before me
when a moment came that stopped me on a dime
and I spent most of the next days
looking at the x-rays
Talking bout the options
and talking bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in
that this might really be the real end
how's it hit you when you get that kinda news
man what'd you do
and he said
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
He said I was finally the husband
that most the time I wasn't
and I became a friend a friend would like to have
and all the sudden going fishin
wasn't such an imposition
and I went three times that year I lost my dad
well I finally read the good book
and I took a good long hard look
at what I'd do if I could do it all again
and then
I went sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
and I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
Like tomorrow was a gift and you got eternity to think about
what'd you do with it what did you do with it
what did I do with it
what would I do with it?
Sky diving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named fumanchu
and then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
and I watched an eagle as it was flying
and he said someday I hope you get the chance
to live like you were dying.
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying

Please, please, please Lady Julia can we hear your song??? You could even start a band.
Lady Julia and the Hypnotics!!!
and then men would throw their underwear at you when you perform on stage.
Nigel :) You made me laugh so much. I don't think you know how badly I sing. If it doesn't turn out horribly, I'll let you hear (but I wouldn't hold my breath on that!)
Bungee jumping and skydiving are on my list. Hopefully when spring comes :)
All the best!
Julia you should do this. I did it a few years back and had a blast
Ok.. it's decided. Bill and I are going to choose one and do it. Him first ;) I wonder just how much pain is involved in either of these? I don't do pain..
