Grant and I came up with the “Two Guys One List” idea quite some time ago and it was only when he reposted our lists here that I revisited it, reconsidered it and did all sorts of other things that involve the prefix “re-”. In short, I still like my list but I want to add a few disclaimers:
1. This is not an exhaustive list. There are other things I want to do in this life, but for various reasons they did not fit the purposes of this project. Take, for example, my desire to obtain a PhD (the old fashioned way, not an honorary doctorate or a mail-order degree). I can’t imagine Grant enrolling in further education at great expense just to support my dream in the way that I joined a gym in order to be able to eventually run a marathon (Grant’s list). There are also some items on Grant’s list that would also appear on mine, but where’s the fun in duplication?
2. My list is subject to change. There are always new things I want to do and I reserve the right to remove one of my less favoured items for a new and exciting one. I’m already considering removing one of the items and replacing it with “develop and produce a television show.” The idea is already well-formed and much discussed. I just need someone to agree to help get the idea off the ground.
3. I reserve the right to celebrate not only the items Grant and I manage to cross off the 2G1L list, but also those that we have not explicitly stated (say, completing a half-marathon). The point of this project is to put ourselves out there with our dreams blowing in the wind for all to see so that we can more easily shame ourselves into acting on them.
All that said, don’t forget about the wonderful sponsorship opportunities. Enquire within.
