I've actually seen the northern lights in Guelph Ontario. That's about 45 degrees north. They were pretty small and faint but still pretty cool.
For my list: 1. Be the guy that pushes the button when they implode a BIG building 2. Play with a belt fed weapon for an hour or two (relax, at a range) 3. Ride my motorcycle out to both coasts (realistically, I need a better bike for that) 4. Visit an active volcano, prefrebly in Iceland because I want to go there too

y5. Ride the following roller coasters: Kingda Ka, The Beast, Son of Beast, Oblivion, Steel Dragon 2000, Hades (and many others, but this is all I can think of one now). Kingda Ka is crazy, go so fast in some parts it's hard to breathe. Ride only lasts for about 45 seconds though.

-have a library/book room Hades: you don't need to go to Alaska to see good aurora; I've seen good ones in northern Saskatchewan. I have a private library already. Also, I've lived in northern Norway, and the multicoloured aurora up there can be spectacular. My list? 1. Get a proper education, it's never too late. 2. Learn Russian. 3. Write a book and get it published. 4. Go to Scotland and compete in Highland Games 5. Qualify for the Norwegian championships as a hammer thrower. 6. Pay down my debt. 7. Train my dog to be a certified rescue dog.

Beast and Son of Beast are excellent coasters. I've only seen them in my book of coasters and as downloads for my Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 game. They look excellent. Sim, I can handle a 45 second coaster if it really goes 400+ feet in the air.

Yeah Vypernight, the coaster really does go about that high, with a nice twisting loop at the top. It also breaks down like twice a day, and always has a huge line. If you do go on it, make sure you get to the park early, and do it as your first ride.

1. Write a novel. I've been toying with it off and on for years, now, I just can't seem to get *started*. 2. Live to see the day that cannabis is legalized in the US.
I'm not particularly ambitious.

Let's see...
1. Stop drinking so much Coke. (2 to 4 cans a day, aiming for 0-1) Getting some water bottles may help. 2. Learn to play the drums, and any other instrument that I feel like learning. Also, learn to sing! I suck at this right now. 3. Get a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. 4. Become fluent in Spanish, and any other language (preferably Japanese or Korean). I'd love to be more than trilingual. Latin and Greek would be cool, as well. 5. Get out of the U.S.! 6. Get a dog at some point. So far I've only had cats. 7. Write a novel, series of short stories, or something similar. 8. Write an autobiography or memoir. 9. Write something about philosophy. 10. Write some music that I like. Right now I'm thinking of something that incorporates classical and any form of rock/metal, whether it be scales used in classical or excerpts from songs (see the intro and solo in Play With Me by Extreme), or instruments used in classical (see Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold). 11. Probably a whole bunch of other things that I can't think of right now.
Assuming I die of age-related causes, I've got quite a while to achieve these.
