I love it when I have entries which piggy-back off of one another...
Spend a day at the races.
This is one of those past-times which have never been part of my life, but yesterday when I witnessed that one race I immediately had the desire to get all gussied up and go to the tracks with some of my girls (who would, of course, also be gussied up) and maybe a few guys just to round out the bunch (read: fetch us drinks and food when needed and put in a few bets!) Hehe... Oh I can only imagine.

Weekends apparently put me behind...

Watch a horse race live!
Now, this is one of those things which I only think of as I'm able to do it... So yes, I watched a horse race on Saturday night. It was so entertaining. Hehe - I only watched one race, but the energy one feels from those surrounding them as well as from the track during the last straight is abounding!

Being 1/4 French wine has been a part of my upbringing. I think it'd be interesting to make my own someday - play with the grapes and different flavors, the barrels and just all the pieces of wine making.

I missed yesterday - so there are two entries coming today!
So I absolutely love taking pictures, I feel as though some of them turn out awesome (a little bias, but whatever) this is one of my favorites --

I'd like to put a bit of time into more things along this nature. See parts of the world in ways others don't. Show my point of view... :)

Play video games all day... As much as I dislike most games out there today, I do realize that there are some half-decent ones available. There are even ones that extend your thought process a bit - which has always been my hiccup. I can not stand wasting any sort of time so playing any sort of game for an extended period of time has always been a loss on me. In some of the situations I've been in the past month or so, I've been able to recognize the absolute need to chill out. My answer is an all-day marathon of movies in pajamas, but sometimes that just doesn't feel right. So - yes, I'm opening myself up to a day of gaming. A. Day. The key here is "A".

Be part of a sleep study. Mostly because I'm curious as to what I actually do in my sleep and if my sleep is even close to the level it should be at.
I'm super tired right now - haha - that's the only way I came up with this one!

Today was 7-11-11... Love it!
Yes, that was a side note.

Think, think, think... I had a lot of different thoughts fly through my mind today on things I'd like to do in my lifetime. Here's just one.

I'd love to have a better grasp on psychology to the point of which I could sit down with someone and counsel them. The effect we have on each other just from being heard and knowing that we are heard is huge. When the person to whom you are telling all of your issues to can not only listen, but see things in a different perspective and are able to understand where your mind is at it's such a plus!

Build a firework from scratch.

Essentially, I just want to know the steps it takes to create a firework, create my own, and shoot it off. I can't even begin to imagine the amount of technical and scientific measurements something like a firework takes. The ability to create (a good) one is a talent. Imagine all the fun you can have with the colors and effects... hehehe!

Hug someone who has an incurable illness.

One of my goals in life is to love people. Those who have never felt loved. Those who are dying. Those who are so young they've barely lived. Those who are starving. Those who are homeless... It doesn't matter - I have been created to love. One of the best expressions of love is a hug. I will never forget about something I read when I was young (under the age of 10) and it said "a hug is a handshake of hearts". Perfect. Simple. Exact. Honest. Everyone should know they are loved, so I have the desire to put that knowledge into the heart of someone who is dying...

Speak to a crowd.

I'm really going to try and not repeat, but you must realize - it's hard to come up with something new every day!
Here's one which I realized I wanted to do this past year...
I love having peoples attentions. I love sharing my knowledge and wisdom with others. I love ministering to others hearts. I love when God downloads information into me and I find myself saying things I'm not even thinking... So yes, I want to speak to a crowd. :)

(Hi! I'm back....)

In the past year I have been through a lot to say the least. Recently I began thinking about this blog which I left behind and have felt as though I really should finish it. So! My #184th dream/return promise is... To finish this blog - I promised 365, I will deliver 365!

I'm sure sometime later I'll write a post about where I've been and what's occurred in my life, as it's been quite the journey!

Walk all night around a city.
So lately I've been walking around at night kind of discovering my temporary home here in Cali and I realized just a little bit ago that it's something I love to do - just walk and enjoy the quiet of the darkness and the crazy of the night.

Why would I want to do this?
Walking at night one is able to find a certain part of them that they never knew existed before. Between all of those layers of the day and all of the people you encounter you can lose yourself... But at night when it's just you or you and a close friend, you'd be amazed as to what you can discover.

Attend a NFL game.
After watching the Eagles beat the 49er's tonight I realized that a) I hadn't updated my blog in awhile and b) I want to attend a game!

Why would I want to do this?
Because it's one of those things that apparently your life isn't complete without.
Also, I'm kind of a dork and love the game. Hehe!

Build a tree house.
A lot of things have been on my mind recently and I'd like to say that this came to me while I was driving through the neighborhoods of Redding, CA (my new home), but I can't. One of those random thought trails led to me realizing I never had a tree house as a child. I figure, I'm still a child at heart, so I can still build a tree house. :)

Why would I want to do this?
Having a home is one thing. You decorate it, bring a certain presence into it, you set things the way you want them to be. Once. If you switch things around all the time, you'll not only run out of money but soon people will wonder what is wrong with you. Whereas with a tree house... You have a smaller space - but it's a blank canvas. You can walk in and every day it's a different set up - especially if you leave it open for the imagination...
This might have something to do with entering a brand new house and having a room to make mine (just a room) and thinking over what I want on the walls and the colors over again...
I've found that no matter what I'm drawn to black and silver for furniture... And light green, purple and blue for accent colors. Yeah. What can I say? I have favorites. Haha!

Get a head shot.
So you could easily say that I took the summer off from updating my blog, and it was an intentional break... But then we'd all be lying. I just slacked off majorly and was too busy to even think about coming up with things I want to do.
But I'm back! Hopefully I'll be able to keep it up the rest of the year...
So --- a head shot. Yes. Something that is very important in any performing artists career and somehow I missed that moment.
