things to do

This is for Jennifer since she was asking me about my list of things to do in life. I always try and think of things that are constructive in some way or another. I try and think of things that will give me a new perspective to life or something that will put me out of my comfort zone so that I can experience something different every once in a while. And then of course there are those random things that aren't really good for anything except for saying that you actually did it.

Here are some new things that I've thought of to add to my growing list:

- Be a vegetarian for as long as possible (at least a week)
- Buy a scooter. Or rent one and go on a scooter road trip.
- Write a book
- Try to make one new friend a day for a week
