the 30 dirty

now that i have had a couple days to soak in being 30, i am going to do a post that will stand as a time capsule for me, and this blog (with the big assumption that both of us are still around in the future). i am going to put down some ideas, and ask for those 5 readers of this blog to share any input or ideas that you may have, regarding making my 30's even be better than my 20's. hard to beat, no doubt, but i think with a little blood, sweat, tears, and greenback (it's money for those who didn't know) we can make my 30's bigger and better than my roaring 20's. so for starters i am suggesting that i at least make it through my 30's alive. easy to do you may say, but how many of you have heard of the darwin awards? next would have to be...... finishing school. i know your reading this thinking "jodie you have an associates degree in telecommunication from the prestigious south plains college, what else do you need? if your not thinking that, then you should, but back to the point at hand, i need to at least get to my bachelors, if not masters (but let's not get too ahead of ourselves now) before i turn 4.0. i am planning on still being with my wife amy, and our adorable boys (you can read amy's blog if you want to know what trouble they are currently getting into), but you never know, amy could come to her senses (for my sake let hope she doesn't). its a sad but true, but that is really all i got right now as i am trying to be as realistic as possible. yeah there are somethings like play in a band & touring, or making films, and skating @ burnside, but we all know that is just wishful thinking right now. gotta take it in baby steps just like bill murray. i am now opening this post up the 5 to give any of your input/ideals/goals/or thoughts as to what i can do in the next decade to make up things better for myself (selfish i know) than my 20's, as well as make up for things not accomplished as of yet. in 10 years from now (i'm remembering my 1st day at cromer (i think that's how it was spelled) elem & it was a fresh new school, and i was starting the 2nd grade, and we had this great big assembly with larry peterson the new school principal. he and the staff had each class put some stuff into a time capsule, and then at some point (i forgot when) they would take it out from where it was buried (on the inside of the school), and reveal its contents. if anyone remembers when they where going to open up that capsule, please let me know), and together (hopefully the 5 will have multiplied instead of divided) look at what as been said today, and see if i was able to make it to the summit called the 40's. that's all i have for now, but please (pretty please) if you read this post, leave me a note or something that can be added to this momentous occasion. good night.
