Back when I was working at LAUP in what...2008? ...my boss held a small optional training/workshop about writing down what you want to make goals happen or to actualize them. She referenced books on the subject which are beyond my memory at this point but I remember that day fairly well because of something I wrote down. We had to write down 10-15 goals or things or whatever that we wanted to accomplish within the next 10 years. I have looked at my list over the years and at the moment I don't even know where that list is but I know that one thing I wrote down was that I wanted to live in 3 major cities besides LA.
In 2009, I lived in Seoul and now this summer I will be moving to Tegucigalpa in Honduras. Who knows where I could live after that two-year contract. The point is, write things down. Make things happen. We only have one life. You won't get another one after you're dead that I know of. So do something. Don't regret. That is all! :)
I have some unfinished business in LA in that there are some things I still want to do. So, this is my open invitation to anyone who would like to do these things with me. I am making a list and I may add more later, but now I only have 3 weeks to accomplish it. I did this in Seoul too, though I didn't get through the list it made me feel better that I did get to check some things off. So here it is (please message me or comment if you want to do any or all of the things on the list):
1. Angel's Flight thing in downtown (the streetcar on Hill, it is really cheap) : Did this on June 3rd
2. Picture taking on Broadway in downtown
3. Dodger's game (preferably on a Friday when they have fireworks)
4. LACMA (Tim Burton exhibit)
5. Hang out/take pictures on Vermont in Los Feliz (I pass through here everyday on my way to and from work on the bus and it looks fantastic plus House of Pies...I want to go to there)
6. Santa Anita racetrack? Not sure if I'll have time, but I think it would be fun : There are no races before I leave
7. Malibu (I still have never been and I heard Zuma Beach is amazing)
8. Instead of boat tour, watch a movie at Hollywood Forever Cemetery (Heathers is showing June 18th)
Ok, that's what I have for now. I don't see myself finishing everything, but it's worth a shot. Let me know if you'd like to join me on any of these expeditions! The more the merrier. And I really believe this will be the end of me living in Los Angeles, hence the list. Perhaps I will visit, but I don't really feel like this is home anymore. I will miss everyone here so would love to see some of you before I leave and might as well do something cool in the city at the same time!
