This is, however, a set of goals that I'm going to set out to make - reasonable goals, within a reasonable amount of time. Some might be seemingly insignificant to someone other than myself, while others might be of the "dream the dream" variety... but each item on this list made its place there because it's something I wish to accomplish, for whatever reason, and think that a year's time would make it entirely possible to accomplish.
I got the idea from The Simple Dollar's "101 Goals in 1001 Days", but found that I couldn't think that far ahead just yet to set aside goals to span over two years. Instead, I figure I'll start tackling this list, and perhaps my next list can be the big kahuna.
So, without further comment, the list is as follows (in no particular priority):
- Attend a Blue October concert
- Attend a Cirque du Soleil show
- Blog at least once a week for three consecutive months
- Completely plan and build a desktop computer
- Eliminate carbonated drinks for at least six months
- Join a book club
- Learn to perform basic hair cuts
- Learn to sew
- Maintain a daily exercise routine for at least one month
- Make a cherry cheesecake entirely from scratch
- Paint a picture worth framing and hanging on our walls
- Purchase a home
- Read every book that I currently own
- Re-read the Bible cover to cover
- Take a class purely for enjoyment
- Try Absinthe
- Volunteer time to a youth organization
- Watch a meteor shower
- Watch the sun set and then stay awake to watch it rise
- Write a collection of short prose
