To Do Before I Die List

I found my notebook from when I first started college the other day and on the first page was a to do list I completely forgot I had put together.  Some of the things were actually pretty good (and I even accomplished a couple), so I figured I’d type it up and see if I can keep up with it. :P

  1. Go to Oktoberfest in München.
  2. See the Stonehenge at the summer or winter solstice (or both).
  3. Put an obnoxious color in my hair. (Purple and orange weren’t enough.)
  4. See The Matches live at least 10 times. [They broke up. :( I was up to either 6 or 8.]
  5. Go to Six Flags on Halloween.
  6. Have one perfect day.
  7. Fly in a helicopter.
  8. Write a song.
  9. Write a book.
  10. Take one photo and make money off it.
  11. Do 21 birthday shots.
  12. See the World Cup.
  13. Draw a decent portrait.
  14. Paint.
  15. Live in Germany again for one calendar year and take part in all the holidays and traditions I didn’t appreciate as a kid.
  16. Skydive, obviously.
  17. Keep a dreams journal.
  18. Learn Italian and/or Latin.
  19. Study law.
  20. Find a thing (or two or three) that I’m really passionate about and make me happy.
  21. Have $1 million all at once.
  22. Do a voice over or a have a walk-on role.
  23. Go to Iceland.
  24. Learn how to not procrastinate.
  25. Name something or have something named after me. [Sexpanther You’re a Sex Machine, But Damn Bitch Get Out My Face]
  26. Own an exotic animal. (Peacock and/or chinchilla.)
  27. Be friends with someone famous.
  28. Save a train wreck.
  29. Experience and insane adrenaline rush.
  30. Grow a plant or tree.
  31. Graduate from college.
  32. Create a font.
  33. Donate something more than a few dollars.
  34. Buy a houseboat.
  35. Read more German literature.

I’m sure I’ll edit this in the future.

I always like to spam every place I go with this photo because it’s the only one I’m completely happy with.  It’s over a year old, but I’m still proud of myself everytime I look at it. :)
