high achievers' five year plan

Wow. 25.

Quarterlife. Didn't that sneak up upon us?

Anyhoo. After quite a high-achieving quarter century, I thought it only fair that I set a few goals for the next five years.

1. Have a tropical cyclone or police operation named after me

Let's face it - doesn't the phrase, "The category five Severe Tropical Cyclone Jessamy is bearing down upon the Pilbara Coast" have a rather nice ring to it? So too does, "WA Police are busily working on Operation Jessamy - the fight against underage tomfoolery."

2. Be a publisher, not a just published.

Yep, Editor-in-chief or Editor-at-large sounds awesome.

3. Fill a passport with stamps and visas

Let's be conservative and aim for 20 stamp or visas. I'm already going to make a nice dent in that one. The mid-level ultimate? Russia. Just because it's a pain in the arse to get one

4. Learn how to do something really culinary.

Blend some wine, brew some beer, make some cheese, roast coffee beans. I would love to be able to make something really awesome.

5. Take a superhero photograph

Not just a good photo, nor a great one. Not even an awesome photograph. I'm talking about the photograph. The one that gets published in Lonely Planet, National Geographic. The superhero photo. Yes, please.
