so i was doing some general surfing around the other day, and stumbled upon someone who had begun commenting and following my blog. amongst her bloggings, i found an interesting list entitled “30 Before 30″. this reminded me in a way of The Bucket List, except possibly more awesome.

now, i’ve already done some pretty interesting things in my life:

1. been in the US Army for roughly 6 1/2 years (still have about 2 1/2 years left on my contract) and during that time went to both Iraq and Afghanistan

2. i’ve been to both the east and the west coasts of the US

3. multiple times i have done surprisingly good deeds for total strangers (found a purse in a parking lot, found someone’s social security cards, helped stop a woman from being beaten by a dude)

4. been on national tv for a karaoke contest

5. held a few fundraisers for various causes

6. found the love of my life

but there are so many completely awesome things i have yet to do, and reading parts of her list made me start to think, that i too should have a list. i’ll be 28 this year, so in a way, i’m running out of time, but i won’t let that deter me!

so i've come up with what i think is a pretty sweet list, and was wondering if any of you had thought about doing something like this before

I've thought about it, but never really went through with it.

My friends and I made one before we all went to college a few years back. The last summer of High School Bucket List

There is a lot of awesome stuff I'm blessed to have been able to do so far in my life, I would love to outline something to do some more.


I'd also be interested in seeing what is on your list, as well as everyone else's.

I feel strangely inspired. Maybe I'll write my own after finals and stuff in a couple weeks.

I strongly agree with bucket lists!

I think we're all guilty of letting time pass us by and although we may inadvertently endure momentous and highly enjoyable events without having any lists involved I think its great to have a reminder of the things you really want to do, so you don't get to an age, or a position where you are no longer able to do some of the things.

I think I shall be writing my own tonight, I've been wanting to do this for a while so thanks for reminding me!

Phalkon, yours are awesome! I think they're definitely doable.
