110 in 10

I remember seeing something like this on a blog a couple of years ago and can’t seem to find it anymore, but thought it was an absolutely amazing idea. Below is a list of some things I want to do in my life within the next 10 years. Sure the list and time seem rather ominous, but I think I can take care of a huge chunk of these items and it would be nice to look back after 10 years (assuming I’m still blogging) to see what I have accomplished. Granted a lot of these tasks are not “life event” types of thing. sometimes it’s the small things that matter. Also, I have never done a great deal of these things like fly a kite or go camping, so it’ll be very cool to do. Please bear in mind that I couldn’t find a way to randomize this list after I alphabetized it, so the order doesn’t necessarily mean one is more preferential than the other. However, it’ll be much easier for me to find and mark as done. =)

I’ll place this as a permanent link along the side, (and in my memories) so that I can keep track of them. I’ll edit the entries with the dates (and web links) of each event as they’re done…
