50 things a Man should Do before he is 50

Hello peeps,
Before the guys think I am totally biased and this is a ‘for women by women’ (FOWBOW) blog I have thought up a list of to –dos for the brothers, and I didn’t stop at 30 or 31 but I have gone right up to 50… that grand age the best of them get to before taking a downward turn! So guys...this is for you

50 Things A Man Should Do Before He is 50
1 Date an older woman.
2 Stand up to a bully.
3 Save a life.
4 See the world.
5 Shave your head.
6 Grow a long beard.
7 Write a poem.
8 Have sex in public.
9 Sew on a button
10 Read Moby Dick.
11 Fast for a week (now this should leave you sober for years)
12 Leave something behind.
13 Assist a blind man.
14 Help a stranger (and it doesn’t have to be a tall pretty lady in skin tight jeans)
15 Cheat death.
16 Entertain the possibility that there is a heaven and a hell, and treat people accordingly.
17 Surpass your father at his greatest skill.
18 Get married (lol you would think I would forget this one…. Caught you there!)
19 Learn to sing.
20 Change diapers.
21 Do a puzzle with a five year old.
22 Tell the truth when you'd be better off lying.
23 Take the rap.
24 Design a house.
25 Take a job that involves a shovel or a hammer
26 Become a true connoisseur of just one thing, exotic lettuces, for example. This thing - enjoy it quietly, all by yourself
27 Be the most charismatic man in the room (empty rooms or rooms full of geriatrics don’t count)
28 Make a toast at a wedding.
29 Throw a punch.
30 Take a punch.
31 Change careers.
32 Make love to a woman from a foreign country (if you forget the CD you are on your own!)
33 Arm-wrestle a stranger in a bar (make it a bar not too far from an hospital)
34 Stiff a bad waiter (like you were gonna tip the good one ah!)
35 Get in touch with a long lost friend.
36 Call the person you think you've wronged the most and apologize.
37 Call up an old girlfriend (the tough one you promised yourself never to speak to again) and be sweet.
38 Break up with a woman without another in the wings.
39 Tell someone you love them. And mean it. (I'm kidding, I'm kidding!)
40 Let her drive.
41 Buy a really nice suit and pair of shoes.
42 Volunteer at a soup kitchen (wash plates, clean…. Just do something!)
43 Perfect the mixing of a killer cocktail. Make this your signature drink.
44 Commit an act of civil disobedience.
45 Sail a boat (not a paper boat in the bath tub okay!)
46 Fly a plane (I doubt anybody would let you near one)
47 Climb a mountain (or a hill if you can’t find a mountain anywhere around… and a table doesn’t count)
48 Quit an addiction
49 Hug your dad.
50 Introduce someone to God.

And finally I can never resist this extra point and I AM averse to round figures…
51 Live LARGE

Hi Tyger, Accomplished 44 of the things listed and yet far from 50. I completely agree with you on the 50 things a man should do before he is 50. Maybe, you can come up with 80 Things before 60. Top on the list, "Become a Space Tourist", "Drive a Formular 1 car", "Give a lecture to an undergraduate class" or "Teach a course in a University", "Attempt Whitewater adventures", "Go for a full Medical + HIV", "Fly a Plane" - This, if they really allow you to"!, For me, I would want to participate at least 5 different times (5 Years)in the Brazilian "Rio" Carnival, Featuring in "Naked Wild On" (Entertainment Channel)! I guess there would be more than 80 things to do before 60. I hope to accomplish all 50 B4 50 and whatever number B4 60. Life is tooooo short - Live each day, like its your last!
