30 Before 30...It's On!!

I always make these grandiose New Year's Resolutions that I complete about 4.9% of the time. They're probably the same as yours - lose weight, save money, try to stop quoting Katt Williams (ok, maybe that one is just me).

I'll miss you Pimpin!

My terrible resolution track record has shown me that I should probably stop making them. Still, I felt like I had to do something. I was stuck until the first of the 30th Birthday reminders from my high school friends started rolling in and then it hit me - I'm a list person... possibly OCD level by this point in my life. Why don't I try to cram all the excess crap I said I'd do in my 20's into the span of 7 months until I turn 30? So below is a (very) random list of the crap I'd like to do before next July.

30 Before 30 List

1. Travel Internationally at least once (Commander and the Crow: World Tour baby!)
2. Get New Job (boring!)
3. Do Bikram Yoga everyday day for two weeks straight (hopefully that's what it will take to clear out all the wine from New Years).
4. Pass CAPM exam so my "Personal Development" classes will be worth something.
5. Run a 10 minute mile (for those who laugh: I. Do. Not. Run. This will be a pain in the ass).
6. Do not forget a single 30th Birthday in my group of friends (yay calendars!)
7. Eat a 5x5 from In n' Out Burger and a giant Neapolitan Shake (woo hoo!)
8. Finish watching every single episode of "Star Trek - The Next Generation" including the subsequent movies.
9. Get new driver's license picture where I'm smirking
10. Be able to hike (real nature hike) with the Capn
11. Host a dinner with the SF crew where you do ALL the cooking (no passing off Chinese food as your creation!)
12. Get commuter bike and begin to ride the very, very long ride to work (bonus: awesome calf muscles)
13. Go to all you can eat sushi place with Charlie - try to not throw up
14. Drink a bottle of very expensive wine with B-Money (don't worry homie, it'll be red)
15. Get huge group photo of gang to hang in my living room (clothing optional)
16. Get back to my "fighting weight" just in case I'm attacked by hipsters or crackheads (again)
17. Become better swimmer
18. Give up buying coffee for six months (gotta fund the World Tour account somehow).
19. Go to every touristy place in Golden Gate Park (be able to give directions)
20. Walk from the Embarcadero to Ocean Beach in one shot
21. Try avocado milkshake
22. Go ice skating again - try not to break neck
23. Support City College - take a random class for the hell of it (NO BUSINESS CLASSES!)
24. Do kickboxing - do NOT "accidentally" punch anyone
25. Try acupuncture 
26. Quit Facebook
27. Re-design blog (visual, not posts. Lucky you!)
28. Come up with Canadian alias (just in case you need to flee)
29. Learn to drive a stick shift god-damnit!!
30. Try not to kill your plants

For those of you who think this is a crappy list - you can suck my balls, it's not for you. I wanted some accountability and a project. Hopefully I can keep up with my status updates. Oh and Happy Birthday Candice! (One down, a bunch more to go...)
