THATS IT, Thats the list...

I don't know about you, but I sometimes sit down in the evening and watch PTI, aka, Pardon The InteruPTIon...with Tony Kornhiser and Michael Wilbon...they are hilarious...I like their dynamics...anyway, they have a quote they use all the time throughout their show..."That's it, THATS the list" whether they are talking about top baseball players, or plays made in a football game, or top college coaches..whatever...I thought...why can't I apply that to my life? Why can't I make a list of how I want to be, how I want to live...NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH A SO-CALLED "BUCKET LIST"...just a reminder of things I want to do and how I want to live.

So...I started this list...at first it was pretty simple, it kinda did resemble a freaking bucket list...but I wanted it to be more than that. I have been evolving as a person over the last couple of years...things that didn't seem too important to me, now are important to me...I am learning new things, broadening my horizons...growing as a person...finding myself, I suppose...

without further adew, I am going to put my list up here...I know some of the things are really stupid, but there is a definite trend...so here goes...It's pretty long, so bear with me...

1. I want to go to more live music venues...I want to see OCMS, Old 97s, Trampled by Turtles...up to and including...going to friends house just to pick a little guitar and sing a little song...I really want to have music as a bigger part of my life...

2. I want to actually kill a dove WHEN I go dove hunting...yeah, I hunt, but I only hunt for things that I will actually eat, and I really like dove...

3. I want to own a place in the country(I want to get BACK there) with a big porch and some sort of water, be it a pond, lake or stream or river...I would LOVE for it to be a river...
