The very beginning...

I started this blog for a very simple reason and that just being I always wanted to try blogging. Like many things in my life I've always wanted to do I get hesitant to try, put it off or whatever other reasons get in the way. One night a little while ago I decided to write down all of the things I wanted to do in my lifetime and it evolved into a bucket list. Some of the list seems like very simple and easy things that many of you have done and for whatever reason I have not. I have intentions of getting through a lot of these and replacing them with new goals to achieve. But for the time being, follow me as I try to take advantage of the many things this crazy world has to offer!
