everyone has one

Or at least they should. The List Of Things You Want To Do Before You Die/Have Kids/Start to Wrinkle/Turn Thirty/Or Generally Get Boring (some would say that a few of those options are one and the same). i was reminded last night of a list i made a while back. Sharing these sorts of things is dangerous because then you have accountability and seriously, accountability can really stink sometimes. Nevertheless, here is my list, offered with the expectation that you will share back some or all of your own list *ahem*.

TWENTY BEFORE THIRTY

-sell a painting

-volunteer somewhere non-sectarian

-go to India >

-get that tattoo (yes grandma, it's true)

-learn to skip stones

-dive / cartwheel / whistle

-preach

-beat Josh at something*

-donate blood / bone marrow

-finish writing a story

-see the Grand Canyon

-bungee jump

-read Anna Karenina

-introduce someone to Patrick's Point >

-throw a karaoke party

-become awesome at racquetball (awesomeness relative to my current skills)

-stand behind a waterfall

-have my name on a door

-grow flowers

-learn Italian

* i'm pretty sure there was a freak alignment of planets and chakras that allowed me to beat him at Wii Bowling or something in the months since i made this list, so i'm going replace that with:::

-convince someone to name their baby after me

There you have it. My list. Just a reminder: my birthday is coming up, so if you feel like taking someone to the Grand Canyon or India, you can kill two birds with one fun stone.
