Well, it’s about time I do a 30 before 30 update, especially since I am having difficulties scheduling my vacation right now.
My previous update was in mid October.
Once again, a recap on my list:

- Get back in the same shape I was in when I started undergrad 12 years ago
- Go to Las Vegas
- Go to Los Angeles
- Start recycling more
- Get another piercing
- Start playing the piano again
- Work on plan to keep in touch with long distance friends and family more often
- Hug someone at least once a week
- Start walking and biking more, which means, possibly buy a bike
- Become a home owner (or start the process)
- Record a few songs with other musicians in the area
- Paint a canvas
- Learn a new craft
- Help someone else learn something new
- Go to a movie or a nice dinner by myself
- Attempt to make time for dating
- Submit to present at a conference

Items I have started that I will complete by my grand 30th in August:

- Start playing the piano again (#9)
- Hug someone at least once a week (#11)
- Make a new friend/contact every month (#22)
- Have a me date every other month. (#28)

And here are the items I have lined up:

- Go to Los Angeles (#4)
- Record a few songs with other musicians in the area (#14)
- Submit to present at a conference (#20)
- Learn to cook something fancy schmancy (#23)
- Expand my professional career building to another medium (#27)
As you can see, I have a bit to go. Between the completed, started, and on my radar, I am totaling 24. I don’t think this is all that bad of progress considering I have been gone for 4 of the months I was to use towards these goals. Some of them, due to changing circumstances may be traded for something of equal value as well, which will be discussed closer to my target completion date.
Can you help with any of these items? Want to take a dance class with me? Paint a canvas? Take a trip to the Grand Canyon for a weekend? Go on a date (LOL)? Let me know!!
