What to do before the end of the world
Zombie apocalypse, nuclear fallout, economic crisis and
hyper inflation (Vote Ron Paul)… you name the event and it is in the media or
on the big screen. If you are ever having an awesome day and need a little
bring-you-down watch the news or talk to that facebook friend who is a little
crazy about doomsday theories, they’ll rain on your parade and give ya a dose
of ‘reality’. Inspired by the Mayan Calendar end of the world I thought to
myself, ‘what do I NEED to do before that happens?’ Some of these entries will
take a lot of work to complete, some are almost done already, and some are just
dreams. Without further delay here they are.

Get Hitched- June 9. Can’t wait. Along with
getting married to the most beautiful woman in the world I get to move out of
my parents’ house. Hallelujah!!! Praise Jesus!!! You know, its been a good run,
but I figure 28 years is long enough to be living with them. They will just have to let go and let me move
on. I’m sure it will be tough for them to see me move out and stop supporting
me financially, but it has to happen. ;)

Visit Mexico (Riviera Maya for our Honeymoon)
and see what this Mayan thing is all about. I figure I’ll take a look at their
calendar and like any good Indiana Jones fan will figure out where the problem
is.
·
Buy a house with my lovely wife.
·
Watch my Detroit Tigers win a World Series. Yes
I know it’s a dream and a long shot but thinking this thought makes me happy
when the world craps on my day.
·
Visit every Major League Baseball stadium. This
one will take some time, and money. I don’t have either of these things.
·
Write a book (Baseball history or fictional teen
adventure) ok this will take a long time but its on my bucket list so why not
include it in my ‘pre-end-of-the-world list?
·
Find a teaching job!! I spent all this time and
money on a degree and now teacher certification, and if the world ends before I
get to actually use it I may be a bit upset. Positive spin on this, if the
world does end in December at least I wont have to pay back all those student
loans!!
·
Have a LOTR marathon… not by myself of course, that
would just be sad.
·
Grow my sideburns out and shave them in to the
shape of stars. Thank you Community.
·
Play Modern Warfare 3 for 24 hours straight.
Given that the end of the world is only 6 months away I
figure I should keep my list rather short. I encourage you to make your own
list. Even if don’t think the world is in it’s final stages it is always good
to reassess your life and have some fun with the near future. Lastly, enjoy the
world while it is still ours and have a great day.
