10 Unusual Goals For 2008

Setting goals is a crucial step in accomplishing pretty much anything. It is hard to make things happen when you are not even sure what your trying to do. So I thought I would share 10 of my goals for 2008 (theres a ton more). You might find these goals, a little um…out there? so to speak. But that’s what makes them great and will surely make this blog entertaining as I work to accomplish them. They are not in any particular order.

So here they are:

1. Blog My Life

One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to start writing more in my blog because I did a little last year but not enough.

2. Be On a Television Show

This goal will soon be crossed of the list because a show is in the works and will be filming very soon.

3. Act In A Movie

This one might take some work. I already auditioned to be an extra in a few movies so hopefully that will work out.

4. Make Boatloads Of Money

Or at least enough to fill a few large boxes.

5. Grow My Hair Back

For some reason I decided to cut off my hair when I left Hawaii and now I have to sit around and wait for it to grow back…hurry already.

6. Travel, Travel, and yes, Travel

I want to do a lot of traveling this year. I have already gone to Las Vegas. I also have a trip to Los Angeles and Hawaii in the works. I would also like to head to Sydney, Australia, Austin, Texas, back home for Country USA, and wherever else sounds like a good place to go.

7. Go On A Date With A Celebrity

Well, let’s see. So far the only A-List celebrity I talked to this year was David Spade…but I would really prefer a woman. This could take some finagling but I will make it happen.

8. Take More Pictures

I love photography and sometimes I just get lazy and don’t take pictures. But I am getting better and have been taking a lot now that I got a smaller camera I can fit in my pocket.Click this link to view my Flickr Page.

9. Give More Back

I would like to give more to the World, whether it’s through donating money, or time, for a better cause.

10. Work For Myself

I am not real fond of the whole 9-5 thing, more like the 11 PM – 2 AM thing. I am a nocturnal person, and I HATE alarm clocks. I am hoping to make it on my own through Internet Marketing, Blogging, and Acting.


Well, there is the list. Feel free to leave some comments below. I am currently working on all of them and at some point I think everything will come together. All I can say, is once I accomplish all these goals, I can’t even imagine what is going to be on the next list…skydiving? Become a Hot Air Balloon Captain?

Who Knows…

    Personally, I agree with 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 for myself. If not this year, another year.

    on a related note, congrats on the TV op. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for the next golf reality show to hit the airwaves.

    Given that we are rapidly heading towards the end of the year – how many of the above goals have been achieved so far?
