Edit: 08.23.2016 - I'm rereading this page for the first time in many, many years. It is now 2016 and I'm not even sure which of these things I achieved and can cross off my list but I'm sure it's not nearly enough of it. I do admire my optimism back in 2011 though.
I'm obsessed with The Buried Life. If you haven't seen an episode, please do asap. The gist of it is that a group of guys have a list of things they want to do before they die. For every thing they check off their own list, they help a stranger fulfill something on their own lists. So here's my list..i'll cross things off as i make the happen, i'll italicize the ones that are a work in progress, and the rest will be what i haven't done yet. I've also seen a lot of bloggers on here who joined the day zero project, which helps you create your list and gives you 1001 days to complete them...and for someone like me, a deadline is what i need.Who knows how long it will take me to cross everything off of it but it's an interesting thought: What do you want to do before you die?
