The Infamous List

Here are 365 things that I want to do before I turn twenty-eight. If you think that you have a good idea, and that it should replace something on this list, or add on to it then leave a comment.

A side note: Some of these are linked. So if I nail one, it may help in taking care of another. Also, some of these are just general goals to accomplish (i.e. #14). If anything interesting happens with these, I'll be sure to leave a note and video on here.
