As a follower of men (and/or women)1, I have decided to put together a list of things I want to do at some point in my life, in a similar vein to The Judge and The Tett. So without further ado, and in no particular order:
1. Step foot on all seven continents.
2. Go back to Greece, specifically being able to visit some of the Greek Isles.
3. Go back to Rome and get to attend an audience with the Pope, preferably with my “Gramma”.
4. Attend a Ranger game in Fenway Park with the aforementioned “Gramma”.
5. Go to Winstar with my Grandfather to lose some money playing poker2.
6. Go to Las Vegas and leave with $10K more than I came with2.
7. Rewatch the Sopranos from beginning to end.
8. Orbit the Earth, not as an astronaut, per say, but more vacation-style.
9. Visit the Moon.
10. Walk the Great Wall of China, or at least a significant portion of it3,4.
11. Walk from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, similar to Forrest Gump without all the running 4.
12. Own a home. [4-28-08]
13. Have read all the books that I own 5.
14. Have watched all the DVDs that I own 5.
15. In one calender year, attend a Rangers game, Mavs game, Stars game, and Cowboys game.
16. Travel with the crew to England to attend an Arsenal game 6.
17. After getting the house, work out and make my bed in the morning before work for at least one month.
18. Permanently misplace 20 pounds off of my corpulent frame.
19. Kiss the Blarney Stone.
20. Own a sailboat.
21. Circumnavigate the globe, either in #20 or on a cruise line.
22. Own season tickets for the Cowboys, Mavs, Stars, and Rangers, all in the same calendar year7.
23. Float the river 8.
24. Solve the mathematical problem around sports betting, or at least confirm in my mind that it can’t be done 9.
25. Get married.
26. Re-learn Spanish and this time become fluent.
27. Learn two other European languages 10.
28. Learn Chinese and/or Japanese.
29. Play some Jigg-House Risk (ask if you want to know, but essentially augmented Risk).
30. Get shot down three times in one night (an accomplishment only because I’d have to make myself available for rejection at least that many times, which is really the challenge).
1 Most people brag about being a leader of men. Also, my follower status is confirmed with the multiple footnotes in this post, because all the cool kids use footnotes.
2 There’s some degree of randomness associated with the ability to achieve this, but only some.
3 I’d like to walk it all, but that would take a long ass time.
4 Really I’d be hiking, but walking sounds less arduous.
5I buy shit that I don’t necessary want to enjoy immediately. I then forget that I purchased said object and it languishes on a shelf with the neverending hope that I will rediscover it to my delight and enjoyment.
6Unless we decide to support a different Premer League team.
7 Not to attend every game, but to have the ability to attend every game. Naturally, this would entail 4-8 tickets for each, because I don’t think attending all these sporting events by myself would be much fun.
8 Yeah, I’ve never done that.
9 This is totally subjective, in terms of failure.
10 Currently targeting French and German.
