Time to get to work

I finally have all 36 goals in my hand. It's pretty amazing honestly. And the way that I got my last 12 were quite pleasing as well. As I walked into my office the other day, I was handed this:

I felt very spy-like
At this point I figure this is either an elaborate assassination attempt or.... Actually I assumed assassination attempt all the way. I haven't made too many enemies over the years, but the ones I have are ruthless.

Side note: I really like Danny DeVito
Slowly I opened my package, expecting the worst. But to my pleasant surprise I had been sent 12 brand new goals. 12 new goals that would challenge me mentally and physically, taking me to new levels of awesomeocity and IndianJonesitude. And even better, they came on their own individual notecards. AND WITH A BOOK!!! 
I probably should take better pictures, but I don't.
As a reminder, here's the other 24 so far:


  1. Walk at least 4 miles every single week until Spring Break
  2. After learning to swim, learn one type of swim stroke and perfect it (for example: the breast stroke… he he he )
  3. Tell yourself something truly positive about you every single day
  4. Take someone to your favorite spot
  5. Have lunch or dinner by yourself without any internet distractions
  6. Watch season 1 of Veronica Mars
  7. Plan a super date
  8. Get more batman gear
  9. Go down a slide or swing whenever possible
  10. Dedicate 5 blog posts to someone or something
  11. Live tweet 5 of the Bond films
  12. Try a new and exotic type of cuisine
  13. Blog once a week for three months.
  14. Learn to swim
  15. Create a geo-scavenger hunt.
  16. Create an original superhero.
  17. Write a short story about said hero.
  18. Create an original recipe that must include bacon.
  19. Run a 5k.
  20. Watch every Bond film (All 23).
  21. Learn a hobby of my choosing.
  22. Eat somewhere from "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives"
  23. Go on a road trip.
  24. Ride a Batman themed ride.


And here are my new 12:
  1. Read Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
  2. Pick 3 people to intentionally pursue relationships with this year
  3. Dress up for class twice a month throughout the semester
  4. Write "The Ladies Guide to _______" My choice what.

  9. Design a tattoo that may or may not ever get
  10. Treat a girl to bacon fondue
  11. Mean an article of clothing 
  12. Write "The Comprehensive Guide to Dinosaur Fighting"
So that's it. My full plate for the year. I've already knocked off a few, but I still have so much to do. So I'm gonna go get started with a nap and a late night snack.

Later days
