Things to do Before 30

Been having one of those days where I think about how old I am. 23 isn't exactly ancient, sure, but still...where the hell has the time gone? 23 years old is two years away from being 25, and that's FIVE YEARS FROM BEING 30. And just...I want to do things. Things that should be accomplished in my twenties. I'm sure when I hit 30 I'll have a list of things I'll want to do within that decade as well, but for now the time is ticking for my 20s.

I guess I should specify--this is not stuff like...Get a college degree, get a job. These are things that exist outside of the daily humdrum of life. I don't want to look back at my twenties and only see "oh, I did a lot of school work" or "oh, I got a part time job and paid some bills."

Here's a list of shit I'd like to see in addition to that, shit that I'd like to do with all of you lovely people:


  1. Write and produce a radio play
  2. Make a poorly filmed horror short. And I mean really poorly filmed--crashing through the trees in our sneakers, shaky cameras, flailing in the night kind of shit. 
  3. Writer's Retreat//Road Trip, though they can be separate things
  4. 48 hour gaming session. I did it when I was ten, I should be able to do it in my 20s.
  5. Learn a random a skill or craft 

I'm sure there's more, but I have a nasty habit of going too big with my ideas, so I'm keeping it at five. I am dead serious about all of these things, so if any of them interest you, let me know!

  1. First of all, congrats on making the 100th post for Tiger-Shark Piledriver!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Second of all, sign me up for all of those things. I can get behind all of that stuff. I'm like already making a driving playlist in my head for the roadtrip. Can we go and see all of the world's largest things in America? Please please pleeeeease!

  4. Boy am I late to this party....

    Comment 1: You know, statistically speaking, most 'geniuses' accomplished their greatest life's work around the age of 30? 30 is the new 20, my friend!

    Comment 2: THOSE THINGS ALL SOUND AMAZING. Peter is a film guy, so maybe he would be able to find some time to help you with a horror movie? Also omg 48-hour gaming session... is that with NO SLEEP? I am SO DOWN (but will probably not make it through). I've still got the old systems in working order!
