First post -- Bucket list.

Lately, I've been a bit down in the dumps. Lacking motivation, inspiration, and any sort of aspiration. I sat down the other night, after a bottle or two of some excellent vino, and started writing things down that I want to do before I'm 30. Then it turned into things I want to do before I'm 40. Then it turned into things that I just want to do. Before I die. And I know I'm young, and some may say I'm naive, but I really feel that if I put my mind to it, and get my heart in it, I can achieve each and every thing on this list. I will periodically update this list, as I see fit. It's time to do something with my life. Twenty-five came quickly and is leaving just as fast, and I have nothing to show for it. I don't want that to be the rest of my life. Today is a new day. And I'm ready to enjoy the ride.
