Life Plans - suggestions appreciated!

[Mista_B]

So I figure I'm not a teenager anymore, should probably start making plans for my life. Here goes:

1) Well, I'm in my late 20's now. I figure I'll treat from now until I'm 30 as more or less my childhood, figuring out the functionality and limits of this body and brain as it finishes it's physical growth period.

2) From thirty years old to sixty I'll probably invest in education, acquiring a wide and deep understanding of the physical sciences (physics chemistry biologhy), history (classical, literature, etc), various systems of thought (Christian studies, comparative religions, philosophy (Critical Rationalism will probably be my primary interest), languages), and probably a good chunk of engineering, business studies, that sort of thing. The basic range of post-grad offerings.

3) Sixty to nintey I'll start a family, raise a couple kids, put my education to use, get a couple papers published, buy a parcel or two of land here and there, start a couple businesses.

4) Ninety till I'm about a hundred-twenty years old, after raising a family and all that other stuff I'll take a couple classes, go back to school for a bit, catch up with stuff. Travel, meet people, see the world.

5) Hundred-twenty till I'm a hundred-fifty years old I'll relax, have fun messing around with stuff, something casual like writing or painting, poetry and music.

6) Hundred-fifty till I'm about a hundred-eighty years old I'll adopt a couple kids to remember that perspective, might have a second-wife by that time. Probably take up board-games, clarinet, contribute writing and memories to whatever big "History of the late 21's Century" project is going on.

7) Hundred-eighty to two-hundred-ten years old I'll go out travelling again, keep a low profile, casual kinda thing.

8) Two-hundred-ten to two-hundred-forty I might write a quick auto-biography if I'm in the mood for it. Teaching might be fun for awhile, in some private capacity. Probably do a bit of painting, sculpture.

9) Two-hundred-forty to two-hundred-seventy I'll go back to school again, by that time I'll be horribly out of date. Catch up on my reading, see if there've been any decent videogames over the past two-hundred years that I've missed, if they're still called that.

By the time I'm around three-hundred years old I might start to get bored, but I doubt it. Hell, mastering the board game "Go" will take a couple dozen decades, let alone learning how to play any decent new music that comes along. Kung-fu too, probably take around a hundred years for me to be comfortable in any single style, then there's always stuff like ballroom dance or stuff like the tango, foxtrot etc that'd be fun to check out. Meeting new people, keeping track of 'em always keeps me interested.

Anyone else got any ideas for what's out there to keep my attention once I hit 300 years old? If it's possible, I'd be fun to clone myself as a set of twins and raise myself from birth, but that'd realistically only keep me fully committed for about 20 years.

So, anyone else?

What are your plans for the next couple years?

Any recomendations? I'm always on the lookout for new ideas to keep me interested.

Play life by ear, and just take it one day at a time.
Thats how i do it and it works relatively well.

Planning usually backfires. Take life the natural way.

Do exactly what you said, keeping in mind that you'll probably die before you get to do 4 and onward, and you'll definitely die before you get to do 5 and onward.

Are you really in your late 20s?

My planes are to fine a girlfriend. Beyond that save enough for a car (mine has over 211,000 on it) and a house.

You'll have to become some kind of public official first. Mayhap a police coppicer.

Too Late for that.
I work for IT at the Local school district.

Personally, when I get to 100 I'd probably try to learn to play dice with the universe. One of these days I might finally be able to catch it cheating! Ha!

When I get to 100 I will finally personally reply to every spam email I ever had. This'll last me until about 500.

In more recent terms, I'll probably sit here for a few more minutes.

Miles? Flecks of dirt? Sticky notes?
