The List of 50.

Hey, it’s 2010! And to kick off with the wonderful year, Carl challenged me to something for the year to come.

Mechanics: We each make a list of 25 things we have to do before the year ends and put them together to form a list of 50.We then finish the list as soon as we can (take pictures/videos/etc. as proof).

Prize: The satisfaction of accomplishing 50 things that you’ve never done or always wanted to do

Okay, I know I’m not one who you can count on when accomplishing a list (Exhibit A), but I’m a give it a go. And if YOU are as amazing a friend as I know you are, you’d rush on here now to help me finish the list.
