As I’m about to embark on a trip to Paris and Amsterdam for some much needed vaca fun, I’m reminded of some of my 2010 To Do’s–mostly because a trip to Europe was top of the list. Little did I know it would come so quickly.
Another big “to-do” for me, was to start developing the Kermit Sing-A-Songs, several of which I’ve posted here the last couple months. With two of these under way, I started developing a list of additional 2010 To Do’s and figured, what the hell… might as well post it here. It’s short and sweet (for now), but more will be added.
1) Visit Europe – Yeah, I’m keeping this one wide open, as there are SO many places I’ve been wanting to visit in Europe. Looks like I’m getting Paris and Amsterdam under my belt as of this Sunday, so let’s make the next goal to be Germany. Maybe in October? For my birthday? What? Your treat? Hmmm. OK!
2) Big Apple Dodgeball – For years I’ve wanted to join this group of NYC queers who play tournament dodgeball! Besides the hotties who play and reclaiming of the smear-the-queer sport, I actually always loved dodgeball and can only imagine how much fun this would be. Unfortunately my travel schedule would prevent me from ever joining their seasonal teams, I fear, but they do have Open Sessions that all are invited to and I’m making it a top 2010 goal to attend one very soon! Now, I need company… any takers?
3) Website Idea – I’ve had this kick-ass idea for a website project for some time, however I don’t have the time or knowledge to fully develop myself. I do, however, have the contacts with folks who do and it’s up to me to get my shit together and develop a proposal and outline. Definite to do! Now only if it could make me rich.
4) Book Idea – Yeah, that’s right… a book. Actually, several. Again, some ideas I’ve been developing for several years now for a few books and I know just the right one to start with. I think I even have the right friends in my life to help support me with such an undertaking and possibly even partner with, so I’m putting the goal into writing now… in 2010 I will at least explore an outline of what it would take to achieve this.
5) Window Designer for a Day – My favorite movie growing up was Mannequin, yup, with Kim Cattrall. I always thought it’d be amazing to be a window designer for a major store in NYC–or anywhere for that matter–and even had a little fun in my early days in retail management doing “above and beyond” displays in our mall windows where I worked in my late teens. Imagine a mannequin swinging from Christmas Lights trying to “break out” of the store window display… hey, I didn’t say I was any good. But, at least it was original. Anyhow, I want to do this… for a day. I’m not sure how, I’m not sure where… maybe helping a friend who does this already or helping a friend who has a store? I’m creative and talented and I imagine given some pretty simple resources could develop something quite unique and catching.
6) Swim with the Dolphins – I’ve always thought this sounded fun, and I suddenly realized I’m in Orlando often enough visiting family that I could easily make this happen. So, it will be done… I will swim with the Dolphins.
7) Sky Dive – I’ve said this one before, so will keep it short and sweet. No, I don’t want to die. Yes, I’ll go in tandem with a professional. But, I want to sky dive!
Kermit Sing-A-Songs – Yeah, I’m gonna do some more… why not? They’re fun, silly and I enjoy them. And who knows, maybe Disney will realize that I can do a better Kermit than these half-wits they’ve hired recently who sound NOTHING LIKE KERMIT and instead hire me. Wonder what that pays anyhow?
OK, so that’s the short list for now. More to come.
