Items 41-45 and one item crossed off

There was a surreal number of Indian youngsters who invaded the Arena cinema last night. Anticipation and my pulse increased dramatically as I scanned them for a BATI, something that only seemed to exist in Bollywood movies: the bad-assed tattoed Indian (and even there they're a rare breed). So I was of course overjoyed when I spotted this young guy. I asked him if he was Indian and although I don't mind Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans or Pakistanis I was really glad that he was from India.





So thanks to BATI I can cross off item number 38 spot a tattoed Indian on the street. Thank you universe :-)


41. buy Shea Hembrey's biennale catalogue 
42. learn a seriously beautiful song by heart to play on the piano
43. plant a tree
44. go whale watching
45. record my friends and family telling me about the song they have come to sing


Although I am looking forward to all of my list items I am really interested in how number 45 turns out. It's one thing to talk about some dreams and some things people want to experience. It's quite different when you ask them about what they were born to do or would regret dying without having done. So think about it if you don't know already because chances are, that if you are reading this, I might actually ask you about it.
