Whilst reading Maggie’s post about 30 things she wants to do before she turns 30, I noticed that I was in fact not much more than 30 DAYS away from being thirty. And that I had not done anything on my own list of things to do by the time I’m thirty.
As such, I’ve made some quick revisions to my list to bring me a little more in line with my goals (note: original list written at age 16).
- Learn to play guitar Acquire brother-in-law who plays guitar
- Write a book Marry someone who plans to write a book
- Write a movie script Spend 15 years thinking about writing a movie script
- Get into UCLA film school Often buy snacks from the vending machine outside UCLA film school
- Write a comic book Become estranged from friend I heard wrote a comic book
- Work in television Work at Starbucks making coffee for assholes who work in television
- Befriend awesome intelligent artistic people at college Graduate college a year early cause “I’m so sick of this shit”
- Get rich Get paid enough to really appreciate the idea of getting rich
- Leave SCV, become a recluse, spend all time engaged in artistic endeavors Settle down in SCV, get married, spend 45 mins. a week engaged in artistic endeavors
- Live in Spain Make flight arrangements for someone who frequently visits Spain
- Learn to speak Spanish Have child who watches a lot of Dora the Explorer
And there you go. Through the power of creative editing, I win at life. Top that, wife!
