A somewhat local blogger who we’ll call “Janet” recently wrote about 43Things.com, a new website that helps keep your life on track. It’s actually rather novel. You create your personalized list of goals and then you can see how many other people have the same objectives. You can cheer them on and seek help from those who have accomplished similar tasks. It’s rightly progressive and avantgarde and community-esque. In a word, it’s very Web 2.0.
Do I have a list there? Absolutely Not. If I were to have a list, I might include some of the following:
- 1. Visit every country in the world
- 2. Build a giant moon rocket in my backyard
- 3. Get a backyard
- 4. Buy an acre of land in the desert, rent a backhoe and see how big of a hole I can dig
- 5. Build up an immunity to Iocane powder
What’s on Your List Today?
My name is not Janet.
Here are some things I’d have on my list:
1. Go with Ryan to every country he goes to.
2. Have Ryan cut down my trees.
3. Landscape my current backyard and then get a new backyard.
4. Get a pair of stiletto shoes.
5. Only Ryan can know what this last one is.
Here’s my list
1) Go with Charlotte and Ryan, and Janet(?) to every country Ryan goes to.
2) Help Ryan cut down trees, with a large chainsaw, since I know how to do it without a tree falling on him..
3) Watch Ryan landscape, then tell him how he did it wrong
4) Break a pair of stiletto shoes (They scare me, really)
5) Ryan, I know what this one is….. .. …
6) Help Ryan deal with #5
7) I really don’t know what #5 is, so, deal with #6, too
8) Hit the Gym every day with Ryan, when work permits.
9) Make a trillion dollars off some sort of easy venture with Ryan and Grady…
I don’t want to go to every country. I’ve a fear of Russian druglords. (?)
I’m the real Janet…
1. eat nothing but healthy food for 2 weeks
2. tear myself off the computer and be outside for a min. of 39 mins every day
3. Talk to at least 3 people in real life
4. Visit India, Africa, Thailand, and Tahiti
5. Buy a real grocerybike from the Restoration Hardware catalog and ride it to buy groceries
6. sell the crap in my house on ebay or give it away
Hi real Janet! I’m glad you’ve come to oust the impostor. That old Janet was very nearly slandering your good name.
Why Thailand?
Ah. I haven’t seen the schedule.
