the things i want to do-be

First, a confession: I've never actually written down a bucket list. I guess I have to now though, so here it is.

Before I finish high school, I want to publish something independently. It could be an album with my band, or an open source game I made, or even just a picture, but I want it to be something that people look at or hear and say, "Man! that kid was pretty okay at something in a mediocre kind of way." If I don't do something like this now, I probably won't ever have the time to.

Before I get out of college, I want to go to Burning Man. Call me a hippie or a freak, but it looks like a great way to spend a week. Music, insanity, desert heat, survival, and topping it all off with a giant wooden dude going up in flames in a community of people from everywhere on the planet has got to be one of the coolest things you could possibly do over a college break.

Before I die, I want to live in another country. I've been pretty starved of international culture as I've never been outside of the us. Europe or Asia, I don't care. I just want to get out of here.
