4.22 Awake.

I went to Caribou Coffee today, and their current cups have several fun inspirational 'goals' to set for yourself to fit with their slogan 'Life is short. Stay awake for it.' I thought I'd write them down. The ones that are bold, I've accomplished in the recent past. The ones italicized I am going to try in the near future.

So, here's that list:

Have a favorite charity. (Invisible Children)

Lighten up.

Spin the globe, then pack your bags.

Dance in the rain.

Pour yourself a cup of karma.

Be the first to apologize.

Don't wait for New Year's to make a resolution.

Sing out loud.

Get your hands dirty.

Donate blood, you have plenty.

Step 1: Rake leaves. Step 2: Jump!

Learn to say thank you in ten languages.

Be the first to enter and the last to leave the dance floor.

Indulge in chocolate therapy.

Plant lots of trees.

Only look back if it makes you smile.

Marshmallows have no nutritional value, and that's okay.

Savor every sip.

Lighten up.

Hold hands, not grudges.

Do something that scares you.

Learn to dance a jig.

Listen first, talk second.

Make time for silly.

Do it for love, not profit.

Skip, don't walk.

Grow older without growing up.

Thank a teacher.

"Life is short. Stay awake for it."

I rarely think a store motto is actually quality, but I really enjoy Caribou's coffee marketing tactics. They're cute, clever, and well designed.

Well over a year ago, my friend started participating in this meme where you set 101 goals to accomplish in 1001 days. Some are rather easy, but some are very extensive. I've seen a few people's lists. I was never ambitious enough to make one, plus it was kind of 'her thing' in high school. Anyway, are any of you participating in 101in1001? I like internet memes. :]

Wow, it's only 12:30 A.M and I've already written the blog for the day. Lovely, tomorrow is quite the hectic day. Have a lovely 22nd, everyone!

Rad: Ambition.

Unrad: Pond organisms. Yep, still unrad.
