23 Things I'd Like To Do Before I Die.
The list grows often. This is my note about it.
~~~
Coming up with a career that I love is one of the most important things in life to me, yet I’m conflicted because I’m filled with inspiration and admiration for so many things that I cannot choose one. Trust me, I’ve tried, and if a video editing marine biologist Jude Law doing journalist who studies neurology and switches up doing brain surgery on the weekends with counseling schizophrenics and working for The Discovery Channel was a career opportunity, I’d of hopped on that bandwagon awhile ago. But since that’s not exactly included in my degree, if every year or so, one of these gets checked off on my list, I’ll know I’m doing something right, and that my aspirations aren’t ever fully off track. And that’s an important thing to assure yourself. Or, at least, it is for me.
There’s no real order, just in the order as they come to mind, which may subconsciously be an order in itself. Who knows?
I encourage all of my friends to make one of these for themselves, even if you think mine is stupid, or even if you rip off my ideas, even if what you want to do is so crazy original, or so overdone. It’s your life, it’s your list, so it only truly matters to you what is on it.
Let’s make this happen, captain.
1. Visit Ireland
2. Go hiking/whale watching with Brian Hamrick in Puyallup, Washington. Whale Watching must be done in tiny boat or kayak, to gain the full experience.
3. Go on a long road trip with Rebecca La Bo, with nothing but traffic in our way.
4. Fight in a real kickboxing match against a boy, and do well, even if I lose.
5. Be on a high budget movie set.
6. Go to Boston, Massachusetts with Bekka and Allycia. Taste the saltwater.
7. Dance on the streets of Hollywood, California with Jazz. *[check]*
8. . Tightrope walk
9. Swim with dolphins
10. Publish a book, even if it sucks.
11. Argue with a lawyer
12. Meet Eminem, Quentin Tarantino, Joseon Gordon-Levitt, Tim Roth..
13. Collect at least 6 different currencies from 6 different countries
- Have so far:
#1. Canadian 10 and 5 dollar bills.
14. Take part in a movie that gets good reviews from people I give a shit about.
15. Graduate from a University with a Bachelors degree in Something.
16. Get a sweet picture of lightning.
17. Catch a cab in New York City
18. Apply to Harvard. Frame the rejection letter.
19. Go deep sea diving because it scares me
20. Learn to play at least a 3 minute song on any musical instrument I fancy
21. Visit Mt. Rushmore
22. Cook a giant meal entirely from scratch, and have it taste good and not burnt.
23. Make an extraordinary RECord.
