Things to do before I turn 40

In 2013 I made a list of things I wanted to do before I turned 30. Without realizing it, I accomplished most of them (let's be generous and say I did 70% of them; I'll never learn to swim). So, with my 20s soon ending and my roaring 30s about to approach, I figured it would be a good time to make another list of things to do while my body slowly decays into the infinite nothingness and my youth becomes nothing but a sunny memory to revisit on nostalgic occasions.

1. Publish a full-length novel. (Preferably not self-published, but hey, beggars can't be bongos.)
2. Write original music, play it live, and eventually put it online somewhere.
3. Get back into taekwondo competition shape and compete. (Injuries be damned!)
4. Retire. (Might as well reach for the moon.)
5. Deadlift 200kg.
6. Be a TV extra again. (Exhausting, but fun.)
7. Paint something!
8. Finally learn the piano.
9. Grow a garden.
10. Pet as many dogs as I can.

Maybe I should add an 11th: write at least one post in this blog per year. Whoops.
