30 Before 30 List
- Travel Internationally at least once (Commander and the Crow: World Tour baby!) - PASS - I'm going to claim Canada counts
- Get New Job (boring!) - PASS - mo' money, mo' problems (more in a later post)
- 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). - FAIL - Tom and I got 3 days before passing out….ok, I passed out. But we did use our Groupon and I felt less like an alcoholic. Moving on…
- Pass CAPM exam so my "Personal Development" classes will be worth something. PASS - but decided I didn't have the patience to do this job. Regardless, another line on the resume. In retrospect - I should have kept the money.
- Run a 10 minute mile (for those who laugh: I. Do. Not. Run. This will be a pain in the ass). - EPIC FUCKING FAIL - I'm not a runner. I don't even know why I keep putting this on the list….
- Do not forget a single 30th Birthday in my group of friends (yay calendars!) - PASS - ha ha, we're old!
- Eat a 5x5 from In n' Out Burger and a giant Neapolitan Shake (woo hoo!) - PASS
- Finish watching every single episode of "Star Trek - The Next Generation" including the subsequent movies. PASS - sadly though, I remember like 3 episodes and I think it burst the Crow's bubble of realizing his favorite childhood show does indeed…suck. It's why I refuse to ever watch another episode of "Night Court" ever again! Don't meet your childhood heroes kids.
I love you Dan Dan Fielding!!! - Get new driver's license picture where I'm smirking - PARTLY FAIL - I got a new drivers license picture but forgot about doing this and now just look like a really young version of my Mom…I can't believe I just admitted that.
- Be able to hike (real nature hike) with the Capn - FAIL - rolled over to next year….or this year I guess.
- Host a dinner with the SF crew where you do ALL the cooking (no passing off Chinese food as your creation!) - PASS - I'm good at roasting stuff, who knew?
- Get commuter bike and begin to ride the very, very long ride to work (bonus: awesome calf muscles) - PASS?? - I have the bike but can only go about a quarter of a mile without dying. Um, cough, I guess I'll have to work on that.
- Go to all you can eat sushi place with Charlie - try to not throw up - PASS - we kicked ass and took names! Names of the sushi chefs that is. Hey Tako!
- Drink a bottle of very expensive wine with B-Money (don't worry homie, it'll be red) - FAIL - on the list for next time
- Get huge group photo of gang to hang in my living room (clothing optional) - PASS - took this on my 30th birthday and it's hanging in my bedroom since it's impossible to nail anything into our living room walls which I think are made from millions of plastic grocery bags crammed into a wall. Chinese construction and all….
- Get back to my "fighting weight" just in case I'm attacked by hipsters or crackheads (again) - FAIL - I'm currently the largest I've ever been but that's a battle for another time. I won't give up….mmmmm donuts….
- Become better swimmer - PARTIAL FAIL - went rafting a few times but gave up the swimming classes since it was just me and 25 people over 60.
- Give up buying coffee for six months (gotta fund the World Tour account somehow). - FAIL - what the fuck was I thinking?
- Go to every touristy place in Golden Gate Park (be able to give directions) - PASS - like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, I had the ability to do this all along.
- Walk from the Embarcadero to Ocean Beach in one shot - FAIL - gonna try again
- Try avocado milkshake - PASS - THIS SUCKED!
- Go ice skating again - try not to break neck - FAIL - I forgot I hate the cold
- Support City College - take a random class for the hell of it (NO BUSINESS CLASSES!) - FAIL - but I am making up for that in a later post...
- Do kickboxing - do NOT "accidentally" punch anyone - PASS - I felt so damn old in this class
- Try acupuncture - FAIL
- Quit Facebook - FAIL (obviously, you're reading this from a Facebook link)
- Re-design blog (visual, not posts. Lucky you!) - FAIL - creativity is not a strong point of mine
- Come up with Canadian alias (just in case you need to flee) - PASS - Chastity LeMont
- Learn to drive a stick shift god-damnit!! - PARTIAL PASS - I'm giving myself this one dammit. I might burn out your clutch but I can get you to a hospital if you cut your finger off in a freak blender accident.
- Try not to kill your plants - PASS - plants are thriving at their new corporate home (my office)
Not too bad…not too good either. Still though, for an experiment I forgot about this isn't too bad.
What about you? Is there anything dumb/weird/funny you'd like to do this year?
