Ever wish you could live forever? Who doesn’t?

Well, you can stop wishing and start planning – because kicking around for way, way, way too long with no worries is a lot easier than you think. You don’t even have to steal, cheat, or sell your soul (unless you want to).

It comes down to free will. I believe we all have complete control over our lives. And in order to be immortal, all we need to do is make a promise.

“Before I die, I have to bowl a perfect game at least once.”

That’s actually my promise to myself. It will be impossible to keep, too – and that’s the point. You see, I’ve spent a countless number of Friday nights at Rock n’ Bowl and never even broken a 75, let alone come close to rolling a 300. Lord knows I’ve tried. Since it’s obvious bowling isn’t my game, why would I make that pledge? Because I will never let myself die without accomplishing my 10-pin triumph (which I already know can never be achieved).

Oh, I’ll still have to try (or just set up a good excuse for failing – thus living).

“It’s not like I wanted to live forever. But right after I swore to nail down that perfect game I got banned-for-life from every alley within a 100 mile radius for allegedly “disturbing the peace” at an 8 and 9 year old bumper-bowl league banquet.”
