"The List"

Everyone has a list of things to do before they die.. and if you don't, you're lying. It may not be on paper, but you have an idea of several feats you wish to accomplish in your lifetime in your head. So I decided to publicly publish my list, right here for all to see. I'd like to add that many of these are plucked from a list I compiled in middle school and share the same ideas as I did a few years ago.. well a few. See note.





NOTE: The list below "The List" shows a list of things that were previously on the list, but have since been accomplished : )
