Weird & Random Goals
 

I'm always amused by the some times odd, silly, bizarre or down right funny goals that people have.

I was just today reminded of a friend who has a decidedly naughty goal of having sex with someone on every continent. I might add that this person only has one continent left in order to complete this life long goal.

Whether they are long term and take years or are ongoing daily goals - what are some of your stranger goals?

Some of mine:

• I really try hard to get my first name, which is fairly common, at all of the new web services as they open up their beta program.
  
• I want to have a paper note of currency from each country I visit (damn the Euro for screwing this up for me!).
  
• I endeavor to fill my passport with stamps before it expires in 2015.
  
• I would like to speak on five continents. (Three down, two to go!)
  
• I would like to bank one million frequent flier miles.

I'm strange. What can I tell you?

Sooooo not weird, nor random, but certainly worthwhile.

I'm in a similar spot. I just hit a big birthday. I'm not super concerned with dropping weight, although that happens, but I'm interested in getting in better shape again.

But I can put a weird spin on my fitness goal:

I want to be able to run up the steps at Red Rocks Amphitheater without stopping.

I want to have a normal blood count.

I have very strange and short term goals, marked by odd milestones. I make deals with unseen gods for things like making it to my grandchilds birth or my sons graduation from eighth grade. I do things like promising to feed the hungry/homeless more often if I could just live "this much" longer....

So I guess it is all relative. I'm no longer asking for a cure, but I am begging, borrowing and stealing time. :moonstars:

Weirdo :raspberry:

Says who?

......

Of course.

I want to get an RV and do a big gay tour of the USofA. We shall stop and see the biggest ball of string, the white cow, the two headed pig....and leave gay rainbow stuff everywhere.

The biggest cross in the western hemisphere is in Texas ;)
And it has a shitload of the CREEPIEST Jesus statues EVER!

want to go for a ride?

You should all have a goal to get your photograph taken in front of the above monstrosity. I did it.

God, I need to scan that picture!

Been there. Took creepy pictures of the creepy Jesus. They came out all weird and shadowy. That was the one and only time I stopped.

An ex and I took a two week vacation to travel to the east coast and back by car one year. Our goal was to stop at all the weird McDonald's we could find. The world's largest on the OK turnpike. The riverboat McD's in St. Louis. There were a few more.

One random/weird goal I still have is to take pics of all the weird stuff I see when traveling down a major interstate and put a book together with the stories behind it. Like the hot & cold water towers I saw somewhere along I-40 I think it was. Well, these days it might just be a website.

I LOVE weird McDonalds and have been to that one in St Louis!

Have you by chance visited the one that's in a caboose in Arizona?

Just outside of Montgomery, Ala., there is a place with probably the world's most crosses. I had a journalism prof who moonlighted for the National Enquirer and did a story on it. I've been there many times. Dude has crosses made out of all kinds of stuff and LOTS of them.

OMG! That's the boll weevil statue. It's the only town statue in the country dedicated to an insect (at least as far as I know). I've been through there a million times. Gotta love Enterprise. It was erected as a tribute because if it hadn't been for the boll weevil, the stubborn Southerners wouldn't have diversified crops from cotton.

Sweet!
