The List

My name is Brennan, I am a LMT (Licensed Massage Therapist) living in Maryland and working in Washington D.C.  And this is my blog about my bucket list.  I wrote my original Bucket list on Aug 15, 2010.  Since then it's grown to almost 3 pages long.  one of the items on my list is to make a blog.  And as into this list as I am, it feels right that I should make this blog about my list.  This list is so important to me that sometimes rather than introducing myself to a new friend, I'll just show them my list.  It shows you what I've accomplished, what i hope to accomplish, and also, that I often feel like doing new things just for the hell of it.  This is my resume for life and helps to remind me that I can do anything I set my mind to.

Unfortunately, I will only post my abridged bucket list, some things are too personal for the internet.
