In my ongoing endevour to better myself I made a list about 4 years ago of 100 things I have to do before I die. Well actually I've only come up with 69 so far. Interesting number..... I'm leaving 69-100 for when I'm older. I'm sure they'll be some new stuff out by then like a weekend vacation to mars or something. But here are 1-69 soon to become a permanent feature on this blog.
