So what are you going to try to do this year?  Think you’ll stick to it?

It’s my birthday.  I’m 29.  One more year to work on my 30×5 list.  I’m curious though, perhaps drawn by being egocentric or even a low-self esteem, how am I doing in life?  Here’s a chance to give me an anonymous pulse check about who I am and maybe even ways to improve.  I certainly don’t want mistreat anyone, but maybe I have.

Looks like I get to cross off something from my 30×30 sooner than I expected. She’s due April 12th.

I felt this was appropriate. People on Yahoo! answers are stupid.

How is babby formed?

I’m 28 as of the publishing of this post.  That’s close to 30.  I’m getting older.

Every year, I can’t help but reflect on my life; what I’ve done, what I wish I would have done, what I did, what I wish I didn’t do, What I am, and what I used to be, and everything in between.  Normally, it’s very depressing.  Is it healthy?  I have no idea, but I think it’s all relative to what I do with that information afterward.

This year, I have created a list of 30 things I want to do before I turn 30.  I’ve designed the list to be achievable, and inline with what my current vision of my life would be in a natural progression to 30.  In this manner, it should serve 2 purposes:  First, as goals, that I’ll strive for, challenging myself to complete.  Second, when (if???) I finally reach 30, I’ll be able to compare what I wanted today, with what I want when I’m 30.  Have they changed at all?  Have I changed at all?  Maybe these goals that I set when I was 28 are no longer important to me when I am 30.  It’s sort of like a time capsule in that sense.

I’m going to use the category “life long goals” for updates to the list, even though it’s a departure for how I’ve been using it.  I’ll update the list with dates and links to the blog posts as they’re completed.

Here’s to life, and never accepting it as ‘done’.

I want to be a LEGO certified professional.  To think that there are less than 12 in the world, makes that a very daunting task.  There are not clear career paths, you just have to "make it" and be affiliated with LEGO.  I’m not even sure of the benefits beyond bragging rights.  At the very least, I’ll try to become a LEGO ambassador.

I want to invent something.  Something that will require a patent.  So basically, I just want to have a patent on something.  I think they’re pretty cheap.  I have a lot of ideas, but I never do anything with them.  I should start writing them down more…
