What would you like to achieve before you die?
I've been thinking lately. What do I want my life to be about? What am I trying to achieve here before I leave this world?
Tell me the things listed from lowest to highest priority.

3) Learn to become a kick ass skateboarder - once upon a time, I was on my way to achieving this. Then my skateboard broke, I lost time, School started, and I just couldn't do it anymore. I think that I have the skill to do this. I like the thrills of the sport and I'd love to have the time to get good at it.
2) Learn to play Guitar - I have always wanted to learn. I think that I have the music skill required, I just don't have the money for lessons or the guitar. I'd start a band and recreate video game music and such.
1) My one goal in life, the one thing I strive to achieve, my destiny: becoming a game developer. You guys don't understand. God created me to do it. I've been playing games since I could barely hold the controller in my hand with my old NES.
I am destined to be the high god of gaming. I've lived through it all. I was born around the start of gaming. I've seen Super Mario come out, I've seen the glory of 16-bit, I've pissed myself to Sonic the Hedgehog's release. I've played pacman at the arcade until my week's allowance has been depleted.
I've evolved to the 3rd dimension in video games. I've seen consoles come and go, technology advance, I've seen Sega lose, Nintendo become soiled, and Sony randomly become an industry leader.
I have experience that few have. Even more importantly I have a pure passion about video games. Ever since I played my first one. I've litterally been obsessed since then. All this experience, I know what gamers want, what they hate, why Sega failed, what was wrong with Dreamcast, why Nintendo declined.
I really do think that I have what it takes to become a game developer. All I want in life is to walk to Wal-Mart. To see my creation on my shelf, to hear random people saying "Hey, have you played <my game>?". "Yeah dude, that game was awesome". After that has happened, if I was brutally killed by a pair of tweezers ripping my flesh inch by inch, I'd still die a VERY happy and content man.
That is what I wish to achieve in life.

My brother's friend, A.K.A. The Best Human Ever
He plans to take over the world, he says that only the best people will live on a continent floating above the earth. All of the others will live on earth, which will have CD players hidden everywhere, which will constantly be playing Kids Bop.
Ask Fred about him, he has seen him before, at my brother's birthday.

This is a joke about unfunny jokes. And bad use of irony.
