The Life List

This is my Life List. I’ll continually be adding and crossing off things that I’ve finished. It’s a to do list, a list of highlights of my life and a personal bio all at the same time. They aren’t in any particular order. If you have your own send me the link! Feel free to comment and add your own at the bottom.

There are a few rules for completing my list items. It doesn’t matter how long it takes unless there is a time limit in the goal. There must be photographic evidence (the first few may not have a photo because I randomly made this rule up at the beginning of 2011). For every rule I complete, I’ll try and come up with a new one to replace it. I’ll be adding random ones when I think of them as well.
