list of things to do before i’m 30.

ok i’ve been talking about this list for weeks now… so here is a 1st Draft so to speak.

there’s a lot missing from this list simply because i forgot to write them down when they came into my head… not to worry though because the plan is to stop adding to this list by the time i turn 25, in August 09.

i know some of these might seem lame - but they’re important to me.

then the aim will be to try and get as many done before i’m 30.

and you know what if i don’t make some of them i’ll just move them onto my list of things to do before i’m 40… or before i die :P

it’s quite remarkable the changes i have noticed in my focus/perspective on things since i wrote this list.

if anybody has any suggestions or know of important ones i have talked about but i have missed off, please get in contact with me.

I’ll update this again in a few weeks.

rock on!
