Life List.
A little over a year ago I sat down and came up with a life list for myself. Things that I want to accomplish or try throughout my life. I understand that since that time a movie has come out with the same premise called "The Bucket List", basically doing things you want before you kick the bucket, so to speak.
A few of the things are material, a few are silly but for one reason or another I felt compelled to compile a list. Maybe I'm just trying to keep some things in perspective and not lose myself in the day to day grind that is my life, I don't know.
But I do know that I need to post this list, just so I don't forget about what it is I want out of life. Even if it is on the silly side.
