Today is my 23rd birthday and this makes me very happy. I love knowing that I went one more year without being shot to death,even though I got kinda close to breaking that streak a few weeks ago. Anyway I,like many people enjoy my birthday. Its a day to celebrate and generally be happy. With that said here are 23 things I wish to accomplish before November 30th 2011.
1. Get a steady job - The economy here in Michigan and throughout the country sucks. It sucks so bad that for the better part of a year I haven't had a real job. If it weren't for odd jobs and finding ways to make money online I would have made nothing in the last year.
2. Lose another 25 pounds - during the last year I actually lost close to 30 pounds. I went from 287 to 258. While this is great and I'm a lot healthier and a little better looking I want to lose some more weight just so I can look nicer without a shirt on.
3. Get a car - I'm sick of walking,the buses are slow during the winter and driving makes things easier.
4. Get a new wardrobe - I'm planning on losing weight and obviously the stuff I have on right now wont fit too good. It'll probably be mostly in black but I'll look good in it.
5. Attend a game by all 4 Detroit sports teams - Last year I got lucky and scored free tickets to a pistons and tigers game. This year I plan on going to a game from those two teams,the lions and the red wings.
6. Travel out of state - I don't know where yet but I'm leaning towards California.
7. Attempt to become a police officer - I don't know if I'll make it but I really want to try it. I wanted to try it a while ago but ultimately decided against it. This time I'm gonna man up and do it.
8. Buy some guns - It couldn't hurt to have one around here because you never know what might happen.
9. Get a hunting license - I really want to go deer hunting but of course I need a license. this situation shall be rectified within the next year.
10. Buy a new tv - my tv is old,takes up way too much electricity and is pretty useless since I don't have cable at the moment. I'm gonna upgrade it to an HD.
11. Spend at least one night in a suite at the motor city casino and hotel. Preferably in the presidential suite.
12. Get back to selling beats - Before I got interested in blogging I used to make and sell beats to rappers who were "ballin on a budget". I want to get back to that.
13. Take up yoga - This would be different for me and it would probably make me lose weight at a quicker pace than what I've been doing.
14. Go one entire month without meat - Back in February and March I went more than a month without junk food. I'm gonna try to go meatless for one month in 2011.
15. Make this site extremely popular - When I first started this site I barely got 100 hits in a month. Now I'm averaging several hundred hits per day. While that is great I would like to have this site averaging several thousand hits per day in one years time.
16. Get a domain name - That could be happening very soon.
17. Buy some stock - This assures that I'm never technically penniless. It also means that I'll be worth at least as much as one share of stock.
18. Run in the free press marathon - This would be a good way to show off the 25 pounds that I will have hopefully lost by then. I don't think I'll finish but it will be good to run in it and kinda look like an athlete.
19. Make home improvements - This is always a good idea and it never hurts to fix things that need to be fixed.
20. Catch up on bills - Out of everything on the list this is the one thing I really want to get done the fastest. I owe a lot of money to a lot of people and its annoying the hell out of me.
21. Redesign this site - While the current setup is nice I think that it may be close to time to get a new look for this site.
22. Get a bank account - I had one for a couple of years until I overdrafted and could never pay it back thanks to nearly being killed,losing my job and the mountain of medical debt incurred from being hit in the face with a brick. I plan on getting that situation straightened out and getting a new account.
23. Live - I want to make sure that during the next year that I actually live my life. I want to be less stressed and more relaxed about things. I want to wake up feeling confident and knowing that today will be a great day. If I can accomplish most of the goals on this list,I'll be able to live with myself and live well.

23 Goals

Good goals to have, Tone, and you are already on your way with the new domain. I think you will accomplish a lot in this coming year. Be proud of whatever you do, because you are improving your soul and body and mind all the time. I am very proud of you!
Very impressive goals... well except the deer hunting :( Washington DC is a great place to visit in the spring!
Yoga is a wonderful thing, it helps you center yourself more than anything (and if you have a bad back - it helps). Keep us posted on each goal you accomplish.
Oh - and Happy Birthday! May you have many many more!
the deer hunting isn't that bad. It's basically months worth of free food if you're able to catch it.
Awesome list. Awesome that you make a list on your birthday, rather than on January 1st (or maybe you do one then, too! ;) ) Hope you had a stuupendous birthday and make it a great year!
I'll make it a great year. Thanks for the well wishes Gina.
You inspire me. I hope you reach your goals. <3
