Build a house (site already planned - 7-10 years)
Get over fear of commitment!!!! (God knows when)
Do more travelling (South America definately)
Be involved in a major charity event in 2010 that would become an annual thing (started planning)
Go to Cheltenham this/next year
Get through the recession intact

I agree with Tyronelass!!

What's the point in coming up with things you want to do but probably will never do, very depressing.

POG, I can do 6 or maybe 7 of mine the other 3 would require some serious luck or good connections.

Life is a onetime shot, enjoy it or just watch it go by.

Big difference between can do something and will do it. 

Ed McMahon to POG, "You are correct sir"

I have entered a contest to sing at the Cubs game (fingers crossed). I attempted the steak once before, didn't finish in an hour was driving 18 hours a day for three days when I got there so my heart/stomach was not into it- next time I will fly into Dallas then spend a nite in Amarillo to prepare. Need to save 1200 for the fighter jet ride, need to save roughly 9-15,000 for the bike trip, need to save 125-300,000 for the pub, need to save 250-450,000 for the warm water retreat, need 10,000 to enter WSOP and beat out roughly 9,000 other people and hope Phil Helmuth makes the final table with me. Would need to donate about 1 million to charity to set up the golf foursome. Announcing the Bears game would be the tough one, maybe donate 1 million to a charity the NFL supports. Revise the 1 year in Alaska to 1 month(3500) and find a 350 pound gold nugget (gold at 900 an oz) valued at $5,040,000 and that would cover everything , this is so simple :D

Are you female? If not, what in bejaysus f**k?

I'm very much male!!

Starting to get sick of the whole tricking about scene.... went steady for 2 years twice and ran like f**k when jewellery was mentioned, although history has since proved me a wise judge in both cases  ;)

Saw the Club win a Senior All Ireland and that was top of the list, already did the jumping out of the plane also. So, Mayo to win Sam would be the one big thing I'd love to see happening in my lifetime.

If we're going into unlikely dreams, well Mayo to win Sam with me as Manager would be a nice thing to do.

Tyrones own

In no particular order

1. Release an album, working on it in my spare time these days

2. Go to the Superbowl

3. See Meath win a few more A-I's

4. Coach Meath to an A-I victory (wont do it as a player anyway)

5. Own an emission free car

6. Climb Carrauntoohil

7. Restablish the Kingdom of Míde/Meath

8. See the 1st televised Shamrock Bowl on RTE, played to a sell out crowd in moderately sized stadium
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

SidelineKick

Is it sad that I have nothing that immediately springs to mind? I'm just happy with life at the minute everything seems to be going well (touch wood).

I have no aspirations to bungee jump, or swim with sharks or go to Oz. People often say "you have to to this, you have to do that, you have to see Oz, bla bla bla". I'm happy with my life in Ireland so I'm sticking with it.

(Plus if I left now I'd never get a job when I returned)  :D

Cant think of any major ones at the moment

Jump out of plane
See Utd at a CL final
Keep my job during the recession
Stay alive long enough to see full back junior grow up
See Armagh win Sam once more (just once f**king more for the love of Christ)
Not crave a cigarette
See the club win a Senior Championship
