21 More Things I Hope To Do

Oh, the places we'll go, the people we'll see and the things we would do.

As days fly by, holidays fast approaching, the end of the year is very near. I reflect back on my article discussing 33 Things I Hope To Do in my lifetime. The new year is less than two months away and this list keeps on growing. I do not have a time constraint on these; a list of things to do before you "die" is kind of off-putting, isn't it? So I say I aspire to do these things, and I hope I get the chance, or I hope I make the opportunity for myself to accomplish these little experiences and feelings in my lifetime. I already mentioned thirty-three so I am going to add just a few more.

Well, let's not wait too long, let's get started!

1. Visit a Paris bakery, have a coffee and eat a croissant, listen to the sounds of the city. Enjoy the view.

2. Travel with limited supplies and find my way. May be hard but it is not impossible.

3. Go to a SuperBowl, scream and cheer no matter who the team it is.

4. Be an extra in a movie, have some screen time, doesn't matter if I am in the corner or in a .2 second scene. I WANT TO BE THERE.

5. Go to a masquerade ball, mask, an incredible dress, the whole sha-bang.

6. Go to a Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon taping, that will probably be the best day of my life.

7. Walk the Great Wall of China.

8. Bungee Jump. More than once. Adrenaline junkie what can I say?

9. Go on a road trip, East to West of the good ole United States.

10. Helicopter ride over New York. Maybe at night, that would be breathtaking.

11. Have a piece of art in a gallery, inspired by me.

12. Lead a self-love movement. Inspire teenagers.

13. Adopt a dog, or seven.

14. Get a PhD. Hard work but SO worth it.

15. Trek through a rainforest, experience exotic wildlife and all of its wonders.

16. See the pyramids in Egypt.

17. Stay in a haunted place for a number of hours. Don't even ask me why I put this I just know I want to do it.

18. Attend a ballet show.

19. Go to Bali, learn a lesson from the people that live there. Learn about life, and the small things about theirs.

20. Experience zero gravity.

21. Be who I want to be, even if that means traveling the world to figure it out.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
