So it is my birthday again and I figure it is a good time to reevaluate what I have accomplished and what I want to accomplish with my century list, the 100 things I want to do while I am living in the body (note it is not a bucket list because the good die young, but the best live forever so logically I cannot die). While trying to find my list I had to go through a lot of my old writings from a few years back over on my myspace blog. While I am not one to look back on my old work I have to say I was a pretty funny, clever writer. If you have not done so you should head over to myspace.com/sipeman and read each and every one of my posts and the comments that come with them because it will seriously change your life and make you a better person. No kidding. The kind of advice and philosophical view points posted there really will make you want to change your life for the better.
Anyway, here's my century list. Note not everything on my list is appropriate for all audiences. If you get squeamish about things of a PG-13 nature you should stop reading now. I had to check off a few things but I'm not making as much progress as I would like so if anyone wants to help me out by giving me free sky diving lessons or tickets to the Super Bowl or if you have a liger or a functioning spaceship you are willing to let me borrow let me know..
