Free Candy For Everyone

Ok, so these aren’t maybe so secret because I’m posting them on the internet. But I named them as a tribute to my friend ej, without a doubt one of the smartest and most interesting people I know.

Life is too short not to try to do the things you dream about. So as my first step towards those dreams I’m writing them down. Hopefully I’ll be able to update the blog as I actually achieve them. The main rule for the plans are they have to be sort of measurable - while I’d love to learn Spanish, you’re never really done with that, it’s an ongoing process so it doesn’t make the plan list. Only things that you do and are done and can be checked off!

• Plan 1: Record an album
  I’ve recorded one song (with a lot of help) but I will write some of my own songs and record those as well. This is a plan I’ve had for a long time.
• Plan 2: Participate in NaNoWriMo
  Sure, lots of people want to write a novel, but how many people plan on doing it in a single month? I figure I’d be more likely to do it with a time limit.
• Plan 3: Travel
  I debated making a plan for each destination but this is really just a huge-o plan that will never be complete because the globe is vast and full of interesting places. More destinations will be added as the whim hits me.
  • The Great Wall of China
  • Tokyo
  • Alaska
  • Prague
  • Nashville
  • Vancouver
  • San Diego
  • Atlanta
  • Berlin
  • Brazil
  • Stockholm
  • Copenhagen
  • Bangkok
  • Cairo
  • Yosemite
  • Yellowstone
  • The Grand Canyon
• Plan 4: Climb a 5.10 Plan 4: Climb a 5.11
• Plan 5: Play cello in an orchestra
  Seeing as I can’t really play the cello at the moment, this plan poses something of a challenge. One year of lessons 10 years ago won’t really get me there. Need a strategy…
