    A picture of something you want to do before you die. 

    (I suppose a picture of Alison Haislip would be distasteful).

    Those who know me well understand (read: are aware of) my passion for the Chicago White Sox. No sport means more to me than baseball, and no team is more important than these White Sox, a second team in the second city, so often described as a "Cubs town." Back in 2005, the White Sox captured their first World Series victory since before my parents were born, and they seem poised for a potential run at the title again this year.

    My dream is to be present for the clinching game of a White Sox World Series victory. I want to be in the stands, screaming until my voice is gone, whether the game is home or away. If the White Sox make it back to the World Series in my lifetime, and they reach the point where one victory will secure the title, I will be there. I don't care where it is and how much I'll have to shell out to fly there and find seats in a far-off corner; it won't matter. I want to witness that moment before I die.
