07-09-09: Life In Perspective. Operation DO SOMETHING

In light of the loss of life that seems to be brought to everyones attention through the loss of many celebrities this year, highly noting the inspirational Pop icon Michael Jackson as well as the loss of a friend I know Kim Gerrish Norman, I have put a list of things to do in my head here and there in the past week of what I want to get done before I turn 28 in November. Life is obviously short, and for others, could surely be deemed shorter than expected. Life is fragile, but at the same time, if you don't take risks, do you really live life?

My mother always gets on my case for the recklessness I have with my body. I understand I am getting older and I don't heal as fast. I also know the repercussions of the hobbies I have. I don't pollute my body with chemicals or alter my mindset with narcotics or even herbal drugs. Just something I have no interest in. I have however the interests to "conquer" the land, sky, and sea. Perhaps if I ever have enough money, outer space as well.

So again in discovery of my newfound passion for life, I am using my blog to plot out my plans for the next months.

-Scuba Certification
-Sky Diving
-Visit Florida Keys
-Apply to Sea World/Busch Gardens/Discovery Cove
-Visit NYC, Seattle, and LA
-Snowboard in Colorado and visit family
-Find the Love of my life
-Plan my next city to live in if working with animals is not in my story
-Perhaps get a French Bulldog
-Be able to compete at least once in a JiuJitsu Tournament
-Sell off/Give away a ton of my stuff - Garage Sale

So far thats what I have come up with. I know I can do more. Lots of time though it does fly by.

Ill be in Saginaw, MI in a week to visit home and say goodbye to another friend of mine due to death. Lots of time to think and plan my plot my screenplay for my life in the next 5 months.
