Year 22

  (Since this is the first blog let me explain the "What I'm bumpin'" section to you..this is my chance to tell you at the beginning of every blog what music I've been listening to lately. I am a music nerd, and I love trying to force music on people. So let's give it a go. Go.)

 What I'm bumpin': Imagine Dragons, Maroon 5 Overexposed, and August Burns Red Sleddin' Hill--A Holiday Album. (I have a problem)


If you want to suggest something that I should be "bumpin'", I enjoy musical recommendations.

Why?

The importance of this blog is to publish my year long bucket list and the journey to ensue. I know a bucket list is supposed to be all of things you want to do before you "kick the bucket", which I'm not planning on doing this year God willing, but; sometimes it's easier to break life down into smaller, more manageable chunks.

If you want to suggest some way that I execute a bucket item list, I enjoy recommendations in general.

A final note (on the list): There are 22 items for me to complete and work on throughout the next year of my life. I chose 22 because this is the 22nd year of life. Clever..I know. "That's a LOT to focus on!", you might say. And I say, "NAY". I have 361 days till my 23rd birthday to complete 22 tasks, granted some of the "things" are ongoing. Still 361 days...that's like .06 items a day.
