Landslides

I’ve been feeling kind of listless lately. Well, a little more than lately…and after a lot of doing nothing about it at all, I finally put my finger on the problem. Maybe it was finding out how old Mark Zuckerberg is. That would be a newly turned 26, and he’s TIME magazine’s person of the year. Or maybe it was watching LeBron run rampant over his peers. Granted he had help –Dwyane Wade is a beast  (when he isn't whining about migraines).  However, King James and I matriculated at the same time. And then there’s Charles Lindbergh who flew solo across the Atlantic. He was paid $25,000.  He was also 25. 

Here's the deal...honest to blog:P

I am turning 25. And I’m freaking out about it...just a little. I've also been listening to a lot of Stevie Nicks lately, and I, too, have been wondering how I'll handle the seasons of my life. 

The problem is I haven’t accomplished anything like Mr. Facebook Fancypants or his Highness or Chuck up there. I don’t know very much about computers, I’m not a Fierce Amazon Basketball Dominator, and I can’t fly a plane. Anything you can do I can do better - as long as it isn’t computers or basketball or flying, apparently.

See I’ve always had life planned out in four year blocks since, oh, around 4th grade but I haven’t lately. So in light of turning 25 AND my current state of listlessness, I present a list of 25 goals for my 25th year. You could say that I’m listful now instead of listless. Ha-sorries.

The Plan: Today I’m just going to reveal my list (!!!), and then I’ll flesh the ideas out over the next 15 days before actually beginning with numero uno.

Bang your head! (Thinking stuff)

1. Create and keep a themed daily blog.

2. Watch AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Movies list in reverse order (2007 edition).

3. 365 clothing challenge.

4. 52 non-King or AFI books (otherwise it’d be cheating).

5. Take more pictures (Gotta fill up that INTERVENTION wall somehow).

6. Finish reading the King canon.

Look! There’s future everywhere! (Career stuff)

7. Back to back to back trips to State. Specifically starting the 2nd day in the winner’s bracket. (No pressure girls!)

8. Enroll in grad school.

9. Kick TVASS in the ass! 

Broadening Horizons (Traveling/New Experiences stuff)

21. Audition for a play.

22. Apply for a reality TV show.

Let’s Get Physical (In the exercise way, not the creepy Olivia Newton-John way stuff)

24. Complete a half marathon.

25. Create a 26 list – 75 is going to be busy!

So like Mr. Lennon said, “You may say that I’m a dreamer, but I’m not.”  I’m not. These are some dreams of mine, and I, I am a doer.
