Yesterday 22 year old rookie Angel's Pitcher Nick Adenhart was hit and killed by a drunk driver. Im not necessarily an Adenhart fan, actually never heard of him until the news. But it makes you think about when you will die. As my friend Jon put it:
Nick Adenhart isn't the same as a best friend, but the feeling of knowing that he passed before his time is the same as losing one. I have been in that situation already, and I know how it feels. This isn't as close to home, but you still have that feeling of loss, of disappointment, of waste.So what do I want to do before I die so that my life is not a "waste"? My list (a work in progress):
- Learn and speak Spanish, French, and Russian fluently.
- Live for 6+ months in a country that isnt the United States.
- Sky dive (who's BL doenst have that one)
- Get married (learning French may help as I have a thing for French women)
- Have my baby son or daughter grab my finger with their whole hand.
- Have the last check I ever write to bounce. (Can't take it with me)
- Become President (jk, thats way too much work and I'm a huge slacker)
- Live a life with purpose.
