With the passing of time, one year into the next, it’s customary for me to tell you all about how I’m going to quit smoking, lose weight by going to the gym everyday, or a resolution to go solve world hunger. Sadly, life doesn’t work out exactly according to plan, so in the spirit of the New Year, I give to you, not only my new years resolution, but an updated “Bucket List”. Hopefully when I get to cross them off my list, I’ll be able to update everybody with a blog entry! Hopefully I’ll be able to update this list frequently with items I get to remove!
- Bury my feet with the incoming and outgoing tide of the ocean(the gulf doesn’t count. I’m talking Atlantic/Pacific).
- Touch a dolphin. Nay, did I say touch? I meant kiss.
- Watch the Buffalo Bills win a SuperBowl.
- Drive a vehicle 200mph+, or own a Corvette. Either will do.
- I want to spend enough time in the boonies to write an autobiography.
Learn to flyfish.I bought a rod a year ago, and have been practising!- Run a mile in under six minutes …. when I’m 45 years old or older, ok at any age from here on out.
- Go offroading in Moab.
- Learn to
Ski& SnowBoard. Pull 10 people’s cars out of the side of the road during a blizzard.I pulled 3 cars out of a blizzard on my way back from lubbock with the Jeep. It took a LONG time to accomplish that, so I’m calling this one good.- Play *and* BEAT all of the Final Fantasy series(minus online).
- Go Deep Sea Fishing. Preferably with my pops.
Go on a super scary roller coaster, like the mind eraser.Believe it or not, I had a little lady chauffeur me around Six Flags, and not only did I go on the mind eraser(multiple times mind you), I LOVE roller coasters now! There is an old wooden one at elitches that’s my favorite.
- Visit the FJ Summit in Ouray Colorado for a week.
- Be employed by the Buffalo Bills to be a beat writer.
- Read the entire Bible, front to back.
- Learn a foreign language.
- Fire a Bazooka, I mean really fire a bazooka.
- Learn to Scuba Dive.
- Go to a 3 Doors Down Concert(Ok, I’ve already done this, but it was something I wanted to do for many, many years now).
- Go on a cruise.
- See the running of the Bulls.
- Travel to see USA play in a World Cup somewhere, on a side note, I’ll settle to be able to watch USA actually WIN a world cup in my lifetime.
- Ride in an Apache Helicopter.
Own my own home.Feb of last year I purchased my first home. A condo. It’s been good thus far, although it could be better. Homeownership is not what you’re led to believe when you’re a kid, and it’s 100 times more trips to homedepot then you ever originally thought.Be a Ping Pong master.I don’t suck at ping pong anymore. If anything I’m pretty damn good at it! At work, both MCN/ReturnPath I’ve been doing good
- I want to fall in love.
- Build an online community of 100+ people that does something. I don’t know what, but just something. Even if it’s a REM sleep disorder club.
- Vacation on a dude ranch, like the one in city slickers.
- I want to die for a greater cause than myself.
This list will be updated often, so check back often!
