30 Before 30

     

     My boss, the amazing Lindsey Petersen, made me start this blog. I mostly say that so that 1,000 years from now an Internet Archaeologist (that will be a thing, right?) will dig up this blog and she can be credited with its creation. They will build a statue of her in her honor. It will be 10,000 feet tall and she'll be winking seductively at the presidents on Mt. Rushmore. That's how great this blog will be.

Or maybe not.

So let's talk about what you can expect:

• Nothing. Seriously, expect nothing and I will definitely exceed your expectations.
• Happy things: Studio C stuff? Unused scripts? Pictures of puppies? Who knows?
• This blog could die at any moment. I have no idea how long my interest in it will last. BUT! As Dr. Seuss once said, "Don't be sad it's over, be glad it happened." 
• Me. Lots of me. This blog is me sharing my life. So let's be friends.
• Updates on my 30 before 30 list. 

     What's my 30 before 30 list? Lindsey, who turns 40 in 5 years, decided to make a 40 before 40 bucket list. I turn 30 in 4 years, so I'm stealing her idea. It is mine now. So, after consulting some friends and my inner child, I present my list:

30 before 30

(In no particular order.)

1. Bottle feed baby bears (This is for reals!)
2. Go to Italy
3. Write a book
4. Read The Book of Mormon in a 4th language
1. I've already done it in English, Spanish, & Chinese. I'm not sure what the 4th will be, but I've run out of languages that I speak. Maybe Italian or Japanese or Korean or Swahili?
5. Go to Ellen
6. Reach my goal weight of 175 lbs.
7. Change a tire
8. Swim with dolphins
9. Movie list
1. I haven't seen a lot of movies that "everyone has seen". So I will eventually petition my friends to make a list and I will watch them.
10. Sleep somewhere haunted
11. Skinny dip
1. I'm told this is an essential human experience. Someone (who will go unnamed) insisted I put this on my list. I have my concerns....
12. Sensory deprivation tank
13. Buy an expensive gift for someone
14. Treat my friends to dinner
15. Learn to ski (water or snow will do)
16. Kiss a stranger
17. Dye my hair an unnatural color
18. Participate in lent
1. I thought about doing Ramadan, but I'm a lot more hesitant. So, maybe?
19. Go on a cruise
20. Swim in hot springs
21. Fire a canon
22. Make something with a pottery wheel
1. I hope it's awful and I hope I give it to someone who thinks I want them to display it on their mantle.
23. Write a blog - Can I check this one off now?
24. Go on a police ride-along
25. Fly first class
26. Attend Sundance
27. Ride in a helicopter
28. Ride in a hot air balloon
29. Book list
1. I think I will ask 20 people to recommend a book and then read all of them. 
30. Go to South America
1. I want to hit every continent but Antarctica. I just have South America and Australia to go!

And that's it! So, stay tuned I guess. 

Or maybe not.

P.S. I wanted to start my blog with a picture of a winking squirrel. Turns out, they're creepy. Google it.
