With the dawn of a brand new year, I've been pondering all the stuff I'd like to accomplish in 2010. I've got a bunch of ideas, but of course the hard part is seeing each goal to fruition. So, I have created the following list, which will give me something to consult throughout the year and help me measure my success.
To Do List for 2010:
- Run a 10K
- Go on a road trip (avoid Nebraska)
- Write novel or collection of short stories
- Learn to rap like Jay-Z
- Watch marathon of my favorite childhood movies (i.e., Goonies, Breakfast Club, Star Wars, The Beastmaster, etc.)
- Try stand-up comedy
- Date Alicia Keys [My wife is OK with this because she doubts my chances... what does she know??]
- Watch less (reality) TV
- Remember people's names
- Go on a deep sea fishing trip; catch a marlin with a bad temper
- Invent a time machine
- Use time machine to go back to the moment the Sox won the 1918 World Series
- Get that stupid Miley Cyrus song out of my head
- Start of fire without using matches
- Eat more bacon
- Get ripped abs
- Drink better booze
- Become independently wealthy
- Sky dive
- Learn how to play guitar like U2's The Edge
- Get nickname like "The Edge"
- Set my hideously embarrassing car on fire and push it out to sea. [Driving my car is seriously like wearing tall, black socks and sandals in public]
- Avoid social disasters, especially in elevators and at cocktail parties
- Post updates to this blog more often
So, that's my list. What's yours? With any luck we'll accomplish all of our goals this year.
