So this is the list. I'm generally not a do-er in my day to day life. If it isn't directly tied to film then it can take a lot to motivate me. I also tried to stay away from that giant if time, money, etc wasn't a factor type stuff. I have a bucket list for that stuff. I wanted things I could actually do in one year. It is mostly stuff I've put off for some reason or things that I think will pull me out of the work, tv, internet daily schedule I have going on. I will try to post as many pics and videos I can to accompany the blog. Enjoy!
1. Practice the guitar every week (aim for a new song a month)
2. Read 30 new books
3. Lose 30lbs (I know I should aim higher on this one but I want it to be a realistic thing. I don't want the year to be just about one thing)
4. Go to Vidcon
5. Go on a solo mini-trip and stay in a nice hotel by myself
6. For one month become a locavore
7. Run a 5K
8. Avoid and break off unhealthy friendships and relationships (i know this one seems a bit vague but I have some ideas about finally breaking ties with people that are just bad for me)
9. Go camping for a long weekend
10. Take a dance class
11. Dye my hair something other than dark brown.
12. Grow my hair out past my shoulder blades

20. Write and send my mother one letter a month. She always writes me and I think has given up on me ever writing back :(

22. Develop a constant month-to-month budget.
23. Buy fresh flowers for the house at least once a month.
