Re: What do you want to do before you DIE...
 

Based on what I know about you, you could write a good semi-autobiographical comming of age story. I think the second half (or maybe last third or fourth) you would have to make up or wait a while to write.

You have a great start to a story, basically running away alone to a far away country, and making way more money then you know what to do with, but realizing money is not really important at all and trying to find yourself. Or something like that. I obviously don't know you at all. I think that the poker angle adds some uniqueness and marketability, but it would obviously not be what the story is about.

It would have to be very subtle and well written to be worth reading, but I think if you took a lot of time you could pull it off.

I know. I didn't say I wanted to do them at the same time.

These are both excellent goals. If you eliminate the "alone" part of it, I know quite a few people living this dream right now. This was a dream of mine once, but I pretty much gave up on it.

A small sailboat with lots of books doesn't seem to work, to me. There's not a lot of room for lots of books or anything else on small boats.

You're the man. This is also my plan.

Why'd you give up on it Jake?

Depends on your definition of "small" and "lots" as well as floorplan and what else you'll want to have I guess. I'm pretty spartan. Without a bunch of junk, I'm pretty sure I could have as many books as I'd want on a 36-38 footer.

I want to have a kid that is smarter than me (and not as lazy either)

Gladly, I have a wife that should be able to make this happen (she's smart as hell)

I'd like to make a pokerbot program that I can't beat. (I'm a programmer)

I'd also like to do lots of snorkeling in coral reefs (I hear the great barrier reef is nice)
