"It's kinda fun to do the 'impossible'" part 2

imagine for a minute what your perfect life would be like.........


During this perfect life what did you do? Get married to a beautiful person, have a great family, go traveling, have a good job?   That's all great but did you really live your life to live or did you live your life to get by?  When I think about my 'perfect' life I think about all of the crossroads that I am WANTING to come too because it's going to be a craps shot at which one I take.  That to me is what will create my picturesque life.  Because it's hard to admit that you're okay with failing and learning the hard way; but that is how you discover who are as a person. You learn your limits, and then SOME..

Now looking back at this list of so called "impossible" things, they will absolutely be terrifying as time goes on, OR I can look forward to accomplishing these goals that I have challenged myself to do.  I already know that I am going to want to throw up as I'm standing there holding onto the frame of an airplane that I thousands of feet in the air looking out the plane.  But i also know that as soon as I pray to God to keep me safe and I take that step out of that plane all of that anxiety and 'fear' is going to turn into pure adrenaline and I'm going to be so stoked that I'm going to want to do it again, and again..

 WHY? Why would anyone get a high out of jumping out of an air plane, or want to compete in a SPARTAN DEATH RACE, or want to learn multiple languages, or want to write a book?  The purest reason I can give you is.. WHY THE HELL NOT?  What do you have to lose?  Pretty much nothing (ok, maybe a little more with skydiving but ehh).  I know that when I grow old and I have grandchildren and they ask what I have done with my life or what the craziest thing that I have ever done was I know what I already want to say... "We're going to need a few cookies and a glass of milk because I can't pick just one to talk about".. That to me is why a list of 'Impossible' things is worth making.. To make myself a better person, to say that I lived my life to the fullest, but most importantly;to inspire and have stories to talk about and share.. Later guys

"It's kinda fun to do the 'impossible'"

So last week I was doing a little web surfing on stumbleupon.com (which i might add is addicting) and I came across a blog that truly inspired me.  The blog was about a guy who had visioned things that he wanted to do with his life and accomplishments that he wanted to complete (pretty much a bucket list).  This got me thinking because I, myself, have been procrastinating on sitting down and actually writing my own list, but I didn't want my list to be about things that the normal average Joe would have on a list... So as I sat down and started to write down things I wanted to do, I realized that the majority of them, most people would consider "impossible".. A page later I had finished a fairly good rough draft of my "Impossible" list... Here is a what it's looking like so far...

Naturally these things will be completed in good time because I don't see myself just nabbing $100,000 out of the air anytime soon and banking it.

I want to challenge whoever sees this post to make an "impossible" list and either keep it somewhere that you see it everyday or to even post it.  Be unique and creative, and don't feel that your first list has to be your last, because I am still adding things to my list. LATER!

Out with the old and IN with the new

If you all's parents were like mine when growing up then you probably heard the "just try it, you might like it" phrase ALL the time when they were being pushy and wanting you to expand that very narrow selection of food that you'd eat that included: mac-n-cheese, chicken tenders, and pizza..  Although my palate was more like a smorgasbord I finally started to get out of my comfort zone with things, in more areas than just food.  The more that I think about whether it has been a good idea is still under review cause there have CERTAINLY been positives and negatives along the way.

Not to start on a negative note, but CHELADA's (a mexican type bloody mary) friggin' gross.  Sounded like a good idea, but, uhhh.  It's kind of like remembering a certain type of drink that you drank wayyy to much of on a bad college night; that's the gut wrenching feeling.  On a positive side I've started a new way of working out and training for a race that I have next year.  (chopping down trees than chopping them up and using them as weights).  I know it's kinda awkward sounding but I never thought a 4 foot piece of tree could weigh as much as I do; great way to train BTW. These are just a small few, but I'm not going to put a boring list with critiques up..


Although I'm saying that there are negative results to broadening life experiences it just needs to be taken in stride.  Sure there will be bumps along the way that stink (like not waking up to your phone alarm because you tried switching to vibrate and it failed), but it helps to mold you as a person I believe.  It's basically a ripple effect, meaning it can start with trying a new food just because, and slowly work into other aspects of life.  I mean try a new food, and it could mean you finally have the courage to walk up to a cute girl and either tell her or just start talking.  Or it could lead to accomplishing a dream experience you've always wanted but have been to scared to do.  So what I'll leave it at is; if there is something that kind of plants a seed in your mind about wanting to do something, JUST DO IT.  What's the worst that could happen? spend $5 on a mexican style mixed drink that's gross and you don't drink it?  You can do so many 'impossible' things in life, with little ease

Breaking the ice with a little about me?

Hmm.. how to start off on a good note? I guess to get to know me better, the guy behind the scene but infront of the keyboard.  Let's see, well, I think that I am just a normal recent college graduate (class of 2011 from JMU), that would be currently unemployed, living at moms', doing whatever needs to be done to make a buck, while still "staying fit", with a side order of trying to find a job...  Really though, I try to be inspired in all things about life (especially quotes), try to have a positive outlook through this crazy thing we call life.  Having a positive outlook is actually really important because it keeps the soul healthy and the mind right.  DidYouKnow (DYK) that smiling releases serotonin into the bloodstream, and serotonin is the happy hormone that well, makes you happier... If you cannot tell yet I am very random and love living life that way.  I will stop mid-thought if something else pops into my head that I think is important... I am an adrenaline junkie, through sports and activities, not illegal things (I know you were worried, it's okay). I am currently working on a pretty big project that will be released shortly, pretty much the whole "Impossible" side of this blog (i'm so stoked for it).. I believe that if you take it to heart, it can help change your life as it has started to change mine (that's enough, can't ruin the surprise)... I am an outdoorsy feen and sports maniac, well not maniac, but avid lover... I think that will do for now, I am thinking this whole blogging thing will occur at least 4-6 times per week, feel free to comment WHENEVER and about whatever.. Later
