Weird & Random Goals

Waldo · 06-03-2010, 05:22 PM

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?

My goal right now, maybe it's not weird but it is sorta random, is to be in the best physical shape of my life by the time I hit 50 which is four years from now.
I would like to be able to run a marathon or at least a half marathon.
I did something similar when I hit 40, I was in the best shape I ever had been physically. I was at a healthy weight, was able to accomplish a lot of particular goals with the help of a personal trainer. I also was in a really good emotional place and was working on my mental health with therapist. I think it helped me grow personally.
Now that I am approaching 50 I would like to up the ante a little and get even stronger physically and improve my cardio endurance to be able to do some long distance running without losing the muscle mass.
Random.

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 just turned 49, and I have a list of goals for myself for the next year.

I want to have earned both a CAGS in Math, Science and Learning Technologies and my professional license.

I want to have started a viable robotics program at the public high school where I teach math.

I want to have long curly hair to my waist.

And, I want to be good to my precious body and get into better physical shape.

SuperFemme · 06-03-2010, 06:23 PM

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.

Random

I want to be happy. Genuinely. No more of this fake it til you make it crap or relying on my years in CS to help me put a lovely mask on for the sake of others. I want to wake up in the morning and not think, "Shit! I gotta go to work today." I want more; deserve more.

I just need to find the directions to this holy grail.

Weird

I like visiting weird and/or odd and/or novelty places. Largest ball of ear wax kind of things. I want to visit a new weird/odd/novelty thing a year for the rest of my life.

I have reached all of these goals.

How about that?

afixer · 06-05-2010, 07:10 AM

a few of 'em...

to complete the entire AT with out any major breaks.
to walk from coast to coast in north america.
and to figure out my earthly purpose.

little man · 06-05-2010, 08:34 AM

my immediate goal:

to be semi-retired in 2.5 years. that allows me a couple of years to pay off all debt i currently have, and to redo the inside of the RV to suit my needs. then, it's off to hit the road. i plan to spend the rest of my life traveling and shooting (hopefully, i'll find a picture pimp to help me subsidize the traveling with picture sales).

today, this is my entire life's goal and plan.
