24 things...

Hey crew! So lately I have been thinking of direction. Direction of everything in life! As you know I haven't been blogging as avidly as I used to. Part of this is because I lost motivation to do anything that constituted as interesting and felt that nobody really wanted to hear about what I had to say. So i basically stopped. But that is no direction. Now I realise again that I am super awesome and you peasants should feel lucky to read anything that I produce. You're lucky i don't charge you to read this, really. So I decided that the only way is up (BABY)... or forward. So as I have many things i have to work through financially this next year, instead of letting that get me down and being the focus of my life, I am going to create a list of things to keep myself pre-occupied. I'm sick of never meeting my little 'goals' i set for myself, and I'm sick of saying "one day i'll..." or "i've always wanted to...". Those thoughts can S my D as far as I'm concerned. So everyone, behold my amazing list:

Ok so it has taken me a few days to get this list to a place that I like. There are a few things on there that I have talked about doing for years - as silly as they may seem I just want to do them. A few other things are those things you always think about or look into or even joke about but never go through with. I didn't want to add anything too hard that i won't follow through with, or anything too expensive that will destroy my budget. Of course they should make for interesting reading/pictures - especially the naked one :P As soon as I push "Publish Post" it is on. If this is succesful by my 24th birthday on June 30th 2011 then my list for next year will be even more amazing and daring! STAY TUNED!
