This year I have decided to start my blog back up for no other reason but because I have a lot of fun writing down my crazy thoughts. Also this year I'm going to start trying to mark things off my bucket list.
I've had some people tell me that I should make the list public so they could get ideas for their bucket lists. So that's what I'm doing. My list is made up of 150 things which I know is going to be a challenge. But to help with this I've decided to do 15 before 2012 is over.
I wanted to make sure I didn't just pick easy ones so I had 3 friends go through the list and each pick their five favorites. The ones they picked make up my 15 before 2012 list. Beside posting my random thoughts on here I will be posting every time I complete an item off the list rather it's on my top 15 or just in my bucket list.
You may ask Dustin what happens if you don't get all 15 things accomplished. And I'd say to that super question you. Well for every goal I don't complete I will do something crazy and post it on here. I don't know what that is yet but if you have suggestions of what I should do if I fail to complete these task feel free to leave comments on any post throughout the year.
I've divided the whole list into categories to make it easier because 150 things is a lot to read. Feel free to steal any ideas you know not all these are Dustin originals. I know present to you the list!!!
Top 15 things I most do in 2012
1. Swim in a pool of Jello ( this is because when I was little I heard someone in a cartoon say this and thought man that would be cool.)
2.Bungee jump
3.Learn to Salsa (I've always wanted to learn a dance so I figured why not pick the sexiest looking one.)
4. Go fire walking (Because it's manly or stupid I think it borders the edge of both.)
5. go on an insane blind date (still deciding which direction to go here either have a date that is so awesome that even if we don't work out the stander for all dates from now on will be the date I took her on or it's so crazy and weird she'll never forget it. Either one I pick the goal is she'll talk about it forever.
6. kiss a random stranger must be female (the reason is I am terrible with women I could write a book about all the bad relationships I've had partially because I know how to pick the crazies but the other part is I lose all confidence around them so this is on here to prove I can be smooth hopefully.)
7. Milk a cow (you may say why I say why not)
