Things To Do For My Mischievous Inner Child

My To Do list was supposed to be ‘not important non-career kinds of things...crazy or fun things. The things you have never done but have always wanted to do.

But, just as it says in Me Time, “I constantly push myself into overdrive trying to fit everything into one day only to have it spill into the next and than the next.”

I wrote the original To Do list because I spend a lot of my days day-dreaming. I figured I should write down what I would love to do and commit to at least trying some of the things. I haven’t done anything on the list and now that I’m looking at them almost two months later, I realize that all of them are weekend kinds of things.

Since I haven’t taken the time to do any of the big weekend plans, I figured I would add some smaller easier to do within the city stuff. This way, I make it harder to make up excuses why I can’t take some time for myself. So I’m doing a new list and will yet again try to stick to doing some of them.

RULES:
They can not be professional ambitions, they have to be something fun that you wouldn't normally do or you have been putting off saying "maybe next year". Than within the next 12 months you have to do at least 1 /4th of the items of either list. You must list at least 10 items on both lists.

Things I Would Love To Do:

1. Fly in a hot air balloon
2. Swim with Manatees
3. Scuba Dive
4. Build a raft like Tom Sawyer and float down the Mississippi river or any river
5. Learn to Tango / Flamenco dancing
6. Be in a movie
7. Sea kayaking
8. Fly a plane
9. Skydiving
10. Spend an obscene amount of money on an outfit and not worry about how irresponsible it is, or whether or not I will ever wear that outfit more than once.
11. Go on a blind date TV Show

Things I Promise To Actually Do (Locally):

1. The Getty Villa Malibu
2. Griffith Observatory
3. Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA)
4. Los Angeles Zoo
5. Hike up to the Hollywood Sign
6. California Strawberry Festival
7. Learn to play pool (Billiards)
8. Go to a firing range & a lesson
9. Go to California Science Center
10. See a genuine Burlesque

Things I Promise To Actually Do on a Weekend / Vacation:

1. Parasailing
2. Go to Ninja New York
3. Go to Catalina Island
4.Learn to ride a motorcycle
5. Whitewater rafting
6. Wear a scandalous outfit / costume
7. Go gambling in Las Vegas and not worry about the money I lose.
8. Go to Mexico

In Love With Love? These jobs / careers will murder that intoxication.

Chocolatier

Tish Boil, the editor-in-chief of Chocolatier magazine, says "Your body gets into a rhythm as you stir and temper the warm, oozing chocolate, and pour it over the soft filling, using precise, gentle movements."

Can you image inhaling the fumes, flavor and heat of making chocolate 40 hours a week 4 weeks a month and so on…

According to the National Retail Federation, 47 percent of consumers buy candy just on Valentine's Day alone. One and only Valentines

Romance Novelist
What could be more of a romantic killer than spending your days writing love stories that rarely if ever happen in real life? Romance novelists create characters filled with passionate desires that rarely imitate real people. Furthermore, not every single women is ‘In Lust’ with Fabio looking men. The last thing I want (again) is to compete for vanity mirror time.

Lingerie Salesperson
MSN Careers “For some couples, nothing says romance more than a silky garment meant only for the boudoir.”

The Reality:

Cranky women who insist they’re fat and look horrible in everything

Angry women who do not always take particular cleaning care of them selves and want your help in stuffing themselves into garments that look much better on air brushed photographs
Men who give dross dressers a bad name

Husbands, boyfriends and stalkers who have no clue how to buy Lingerie for a women

Meth Addicts Demand Government Address Nation’s Growing Spider Menace

WASHINGTON, DC—Following the tragic falling death of 32-year-old methamphetamine addict Phillip Diggs, who was reportedly attacked by spiders while scaling a large construction crane near Palo Alto, CA, thousands of outraged and confused meth addicts marched frenetically on Washington as part of a week of activities urging the federal government to address the nation’s growing spider epidemic.

Harlowe pleads with senators to ask the King of America to do something about “all the goddamned spiders.”

“Something needs to be done and it needs to be done soon—these spiders are everywhere,” said Rich Harlowe, event organizer and founder of Tweakers’ Rights

The rally drew addicts from every part of the country, many traveling on foot through the night, trading sex with truck drivers for rides, or stealing their brothers-in-law’s bicycles.

A 45,000-word proposal was drafted by members of TRN during a marathon, 72-hour meeting under the Roosevelt Bridge, and presented twice to the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. The document, which includes schematics for the development of a giant “spider bomb” the size of Rhode Island, concludes repeatedly that the problem would best be combated with large quantities of methamphetamines and steel wool.

“This very morning, I saw a small child completely covered in hairy, bloodsucking, screaming tarantulas while his parents stood by and did nothing,” said protester Joe Lopez, pausing to spit out a black and decayed tooth. “I was appalled. I shouted horrible profanities and incantations at them, but they ignored me.”

Several other unnamed addicts who wandered in and out of the hearings described their efforts to establish “an open dialogue” with the spiders, but said the arachnids responded by growing dramatically in size and speaking with the voices of John Goodman, Gene Hackman, and Rosie Perez, bringing the first round of negotiations to an abrupt end.

“I believe it is our duty and responsibility to act before we lose even more Americans of voting age,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D–CA), who noted that her home state had more meth addicts than any other in the country. “Pollsters tell us that one in five voters is, has been, or will be a meth addict at some point in their lifetimes. That’s a voting bloc too big for us to ignore.”

Romance At The Office

Haven’t we all heard that romance at the office is a bad thing? Well, a high profile South Korean bank has put new meaning into office romance. Hana Bank is sending a group of 29 to 33 year old single female employees on a blind date trip to North Korea. What is even better is that they will pay half the fare for the two-day trip weekend to a mountain resort.

"As our bank tries to help our employees balance their work and personal lives, we are putting more effort into improving their personal life," said Yang Jae-hyeok in charge of the bank's division offering life services for employees.

They’re hoping that the romance will make them happier at the office. The single women were matched up with South Korean men selected by a top matchmaking agency in the country. Two years ago Hana Bank set up what it calls a "full life service" plan for its employees. The service includes subsidizing employees who enroll with matchmaking services.

Now why can’t American corporations take notice and start offering some "full life service" to they’re employees? I can think of some very nifty Life Services that would be very successful here in the states.

Increase Sales By Increasing The Sex Drive

Match . com – It’s OK to look and if your sales numbers goes up, it’s OK to do more.

Bondage . com – Don’t get so tied up with your work, let someone else do it for you.

Drama classes - You already pretend to be a great guy, take some acting lessons and make the performance more authentic

Dance classes – Dancing around the truth? Learn Salsa!

Golf / Country Club Memberships – Donald trump didn’t make millions just sitting around

I say we learn from our competitors and make our American companies better by not only encouraging social interaction but by hooking up our single co workers. How about a new reality television show

Date My Co-Worker

Contestants are co-workers who either work too much and don’t have time to go on date or do not have time to find a date.

Co-workers who want to set up they’re single co-workers must either be married, have significant others or be single themselves. This way some triangle situations can form creating better episodes and controversy within the show… I can totally picture it.

Single girl feels bad for over worked male co worker

Sets him up for a make over and a date

He turns out to be a lot hotter after the make over and now the single co worker who set him up now wants him

But the now hottie guy knows he hot and wants to explore the field just to find out hat the show set him up with a bunch gold digging skanks

Will he go for the stereo typical Gold Digging Hollywood skanks?

or

The sweet, I just wanted to do a good deed co worker?
