The List

My friend made me a list of things I should do with my life and because my new found hobby is adventure and living a better story I agreed to do my best to complete this list. Let it be known I have every intention of completing this list.

Now, my friend made me a list that she knows I can accomplish but will require me to escape my comfort zone. She said I just have to cross them off as I go about life and that I can do them in what order I want. I will blog about something on the list when I complete one of them.

Here is the list that my friend wrote:

1. Spend a day with someone else from an entirely different culture.

2. Spend one night homeless.

3. Find a place that you can call your own that allows you to think by yourself and relax (preferably with an excellent view).

4. Take a girl that you are interested in out on a casual date, just to take that first step to get to know her (and be honest about your intentions and what you are doing).

5. Sing karaoke at a public place.

6. Go swing dancing (or try a style of dancing that interests you).

7. (While we're on the topic of jazz) Visit the Jazz club in St. Paul, it's off Wabasha and it's underground!

8. Write five encouraging notes to five people you don't know.

9. Try to eat 6 saltine crackers in under a minute (It's impossible).

10. See how many licks it takes to get to the middle of a lollipop.

11. Memorize 3 quotes that inspire you and are totally different from each other (this one's kinda lame I know).

12. Try a new class like Yoga, Kick Boxing, Pilates etc. just once.

13. Create a raft or flotation device and test it out on some sort of body of water... there's at least 1000 of them, you should have no problem with that.

14. Go to a book store and make a list of ten books that describe who you are or who you want to become and why.

15. Watch a sunrise from a top a building (so much cooler than on the ground).

16. Watch a chick flick you swore you'd never watch.

17. Catch up with a friend from high school that you never talked to much in high school.

This is the list. Have a different idea or a suggestion? Leave a comment below!
