What do you want to do before you die?


                                      


       When people are asked "what do you want to do before you die?" most people say I want to go skydiving. Yeah skydiving seems like something that will really get your adrenaline going. I do want to do that before I die but it is not in the top of my list. What do I want to do before I die? I want to surf on a big wave. This came to me when I had a dream of me surfing except I was on a snowboard.. So I looked at some surf videos and I was amazed. I know it will take years of practice to be able to do this, but if I was given the chance to do it I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try. The feeling of riding in the water on a board with a HUGE wave right behind you that could probably kill you would be a fun time. I think. Looking back after escaping the wave and seeing a flat calm ocean would be the greats feeling of relief. Yet my heart would still be pounding.. Unlike many people I'm not really scared of spiders, but sharks scare the hell out of me. You can say I have a shark phobia. I would love to swim with sharks though but that's a different story.

Abecedarian Poem

                                                                             Where I live

All around me I see adventure
Blue skies at day bright stars at night 
Cold during the winter hot during summer
Diving from the cliff into the cold view
Extreme sports is what me and my friends do
Floating down the river with a drink in hand
Growing up here made me who I am
High points is what we seek and live for
I feel so good when I’m high up, I want more
Jumping from the top feeling the big rush
Kayaking is what I have learned to love
Lakes under the sun relaxing to the heat
Mountains everywhere there's so much to explore
Nature stands out, better than the indoors
Opening my eyes and seeing the oh so
Perfect view that is all around me
Quitting all bad habits because the adventure makes me high
Raft down the river taking in the beauty
Snowboarding down feeling oh so alive
Tress in my view yet I don't slow down
Untamed because the urge is to much
Vasking in the view from the high tops
Where you can see the world you live in
You only live once so I live without fears
X rays from the sun above hit like spears
Zero fear zero regrets living here
